I find it interesting to note that even though many men have also objected to the sexism in DT’s posts, he has chosen to focus his anger on one of the few women who does it, by making false accusations and derailing threads.
He called me a bully. I wonder if he knows what that means. He tried going with racist, too, but it only really highlighted his own racism.

Hey DT, why don't you pick on me? I'm open to it, and I'm sure you could come up with a valid criticism of me rather than a ludicrous one about Lemmie. Let me be your punching bag. I can take it. Of course, I'll punch back, but it'll all be in good fun. That way, it won't appear like all your resentment in the world is directed solely at women.

It reads like a control thing. Lemmie did not behave as he expected, and now he thinks he can make her conform to his expectations by trying to convince the rest of us that she is the bad guy. Never gonna work.

He's deleted his OP text and changed the thread title.

Shades, is this legitimate?

Moksha once joked that old women have better things to do than comment on forums; being an old women who comments on forums, and in the context of the thread, I joked back that moksha would need to post a dick pic in order for readers to take his opinion as fact.

Apparently because I take exception to and comment on the sexism in many of his posts, DT has decided he will retaliate by attempting to define that exchange as me sexually harassing someone, and has made numerous posts on various threads of late, where, completely out of context, he mentions me and some variation of that accusation.
This is really part of a larger trend of (or perhaps this situation is made possible by) DT's obtuse way of reading information. He has a habit of seeing one thing and making an illogical leap to something else.

I suspect most people here know moksha's propensity for joking (I don't approve of it, of course. I would never make jokes. "Serious" is my trademark). One would imagine that many of the interactions moksha receives are also lighthearted (although never from me, as I intimated. Stone cold serious).

I believe most people also understand that dick pics are the domain of men, that only certain men think everyone wants to see their dicks, that sending a dick pic is itself a common form of harassment, and that part of the humor of your joke was the idea of a woman actually requesting a dick pic. Makes me laugh, anyway.

So yeah... DT thought this would be a good opportunity to scream "Assault!" Shocker. You must have hit a nerve. Several times, in fact.

Imagine Jersey Girl saying "men have better things to do" and me saying "Hey Jersey Girl, show your ...." to prove it. I would get buried alive! At work such joke would immediately get me fired. Isn't the right? But okay, I guess there are different standards for men, we are different after all. But don't get me wrong, I do think women are better.

And Moskha didn't get your joke, he said your comment was odd (he probably meant inappropriate).

No, I am just going down to your level. I really don't see it as sexual harassment, I am just trying to be ridiculous like you and others.

But you always miss the point.

You are underestimating Moksha. Here is what he actually said, in response to YOU bringing it up, truncated and out of context FIVE MONTHS LATER, in one of your many threads started solely to attack me:

That was a rather odd request given the family nature of the Shades board.
If you continue with this baseless accusation in a thread where you changed the title, deleted your OP, and are using it to attack me again and again, then I will continue posting your greatest sexist hits. The list is long but UNdistinguished.

Lol. I read that thread. He did not. Your accusations are getting ridiculous.

You can keep quoting me if you want, but do you really want another relationship thread? And honestly a woman that had a lot of partners isn't attractive to me. What am I supposed to do?

Do you agree that there are different standards for men yes or no? Just answer my question and I promise never to use the "baseless" accusation again!
