Oh for fuckssake.

https://www.wonkette.com/p/rules-for-commenting-radicals

Please review the rules, Item #2 We do not actually allow you to fantasize — as s user did just a half hour ago — about how great you would feel taking a "2x4 or a chunk of hardwood" to the "fucking melon" of a rightwing creep, because only by beating people's brains out with a "2x4 or a chunk of hardwood" can America become a decent place again.

Or fuck it, tell us all about your detailed fantasies about how satisfying it would be to feel the a "2x4 or a chunk of hardwood" connect, to feel their skull caving in, maybe how neat it would be if one eye went funny as they fell and the blood and bits of brain flowed from their skulls, because we are right, they are violent thugs, and that makes public calls for violence just fine.

That's not the website we want to be. Fuck you. You will get a timeout from commenting if you post that shit.

If you suddenly find yourself unable to post, it's probably because you just won a week's timeout. Your commenting privileges will be restored automatically

I said something offensive (and, frankly quite wrong) here and a poster called me out in what I felt was firm but very polite. I apologized and removed the offensive post. And then, you know what they did? They said thank you. I forget who it was but - another thank you to the person who civilly spoke with me. We are all wrong at some point. Admit it and change that.

As I have previously mentioned, a friend of mine, who was a fellow poker player, was violently stabbed to death by a random stranger as she walked to a bus stop. About 6 weeks ago.

Many of us came together at a poker memorial for her, and among the hundred or so of us gathered together, not one person talked about beating, torturing and/or killing the perpetrator.

There was agreement that he was a disturbed individual, but otherwise, it was all about our friend.

I love my misfit poker community, even more, because of this ❤️

How about "I hope their dick gets caught in their zipper the next time they pee"? Asking for a friend.

Is their dick falling off too much? No honestly I'm trying to find the lines in which to color in.

Nah, just a painful and embarrassing laceration.

Ugh, I hope that's not how we're expected to "meet them in the middle," by becoming ghoulish violence craving monsters too...

As one who does enjoy some good gallows humor I no longer post my fantasies of all the possibilities and what I see in the movies.

I only make up scenarios and would not follow through as a therapist told me was fine since he imagines the faces of those he has issues with on his golf balls and smacks the shit out of those golf balls. Thinking and doing are completely different.

Does this go too far?

We live in this weird time where everyone thinks everyone else has to hear EVERYTHING they're thinking ALL of the time.

It's perfectly fine to keep some thoughts to yourself.

Expand full comment

I agree that the internet has created a lot of narcissism.

I like to release some of my anger into the ether so I do post those thoughts at times just not here. I've never been a violent person and I think in part that is because I have an active imagination and can play the scenarios out rather than stuffing them into a powder keg of hate that will explode at some point.

Expand full comment

Sometimes I will go so far as to type those thoughts out (and I'm never one to shy away from a good trolling...though I try not to start anything first), but I never post them. It's pretty good anger therapy.

Yep, like journaling. Sometimes I post here hoping to get lost in the abyss only to find others in the same abyss.

Thanks Dok.

As much as I can understand the knee-jerk reaction of wanting violence as an answer to violence, we’re better than that.

So...does this mean that Ann Margaret's not coming?

I oughta, but what's the point?

If someone feels guilty for liking somebody else's violent fantasy, though, GOOD.

Dear TPUSA,

As usual, the irony of these idiots being indoctrinated with misinformation about sexuality while accusing an innocent teacher of indoctrinating kids is lost on them. Pathetic, and not at all unusual. I was a pretty bright kid, with good parents and sexually active friends long before I was myself. I had sex ed around age 14. Not because teachers want kids to be active at that age, but simply recognizing that many soon will be. Despite my education, and knowledge from active friends, I nearly became a father at age 18 twice. I failed to use protection once, utterly clueless about the risks, and my condom broke the second time, and I didn’t know enough to realize it. Neither girlfriend became pregnant, but either easily could have. I needed more knowledge, better knowledge. Teenagers NEED to know. Somewhere in an alternate universe, my 18-year-old self became a father, embarking on a very difficult life trying to support a child while still a child myself. I was lucky, but more candid info might have helped me.

These people! The whole reason for the incendiary attacks are to get THEM to provoke a showdown and an argument. It's great when people take the air out of their verbal tires by ignoring them. Bravo sir!

i like the 'stop coddling them' 'call them terrorists' 'shun them from all society' call the guy made - that was classy, and definitely something that should be done - if they want to come back into society, they need to learn to behave

Fuck Xitter and Ted Cruz.

Well, one thing about the Rough, Tough Creme-Puff guy here is he seems to be the one who is obsessed with sex ed - maybe a little sex education is better than zero education

Last week I was in the grocery when I hear this very loud yelling. I stop and focus on which direction it is coming from. I keep hearing loud yelling "she called me a n-----, she called me n------" over and louder each time.

I walked by that aisle quickly but saw a white 50ish woman (smaller and not in good shape) and a 30ish black woman (much taller in decent shape) in the aisle. Clearly the white woman called her the n-word and the black woman was letting everyone know what happened. I went on about my shopping then the black woman came down the aisle I was on while I asking an employee where I could find something.

I wanted to reach out and say that not all white people are like that and I don't care what happened that white woman was in the wrong to call her the n-word. I did nothing as she past by politely saying excuse me to get by. I didn't want to escalate anything so I did nothing and now I'm not sure that was the right thing to do.

I like your heart. I would have said something along the lines of, "I'm sorry that happened to you." Even a little nudge can help someone feel valued.

Expand full comment

I think you're right and next time I'll be more prepared. I also don't want to get shot because I live in a red state hee haw hell.

wanted to go off on the white woman because I took it personally. I have a sister who is married to a black and man and had a deceased brother married to a black woman. Color is not an issue in my family and will not tolerate it.

You have to be careful what with people’s knee jerk reaction to just shoot rather than reason or walk away.

Expand full comment

You got that right. I really do hate being scared to do the right thing and these shooting assholes are terrorists.

“Fighting words” is a defense to simple assault. Cross examination of the brownshirts on this - is being asked when you started lusting after children likely to cause a violent response - would be fun.

I maintain anonymity in all on-line posting for good reasons. Some friends say I am too paranoid. I do not do FB or twitter or any social media. When I see the kind of thing being detailed in this post I congratulate myself for displaying the cardinal virtue of PRUDENCE.

But am I brave? Am I being courageous? When I see this man being harassed and harmed for ONLY SPEAKING HIS TRUTH I am humbled. He has put himself on the line and now he pays a price that I have chosen not to pay.

Is this now the time to lay aside prudence and caution and let it all hang out? Speak the truth and have my name be numbered amongst the targets of RWNJ wrath?

But if this man can speak his truth and keep living his life and refuses to bow down to the lapdogs of oppression...then so can I.

Thank you.

"...Sodomy..."

That word sure gets a lot of use by the ambush thugs who assaulted this person.

I have seen this word before. It is almost always used by moral scolds who do not want anyone to have any sex whatsoever. This country still has regulations and municipal codes labelled "Sodomy Laws".

Now only recently I commented an off-color comment which drew one response. That one response informed me that I was joking about "sodomy" and they wanted me to stop making jokes about 'sodomy'. I ended up blocking them. But I also stopped making jokes about what was, once upon a time right here at the mommy blog, something called "Butt Sechs".

So, in all sincerity, I ask for some feedback on this issue.

Is "butt sechs" now a forbidden word?

Do references to "sodomy" now risk the banhammer?

Is it safe to assume that if someone is criticizing me for joking about "sodomy" that I am being trolled by a moral scold? (probably a conservative moral scold but also allowing for the possibility that I have offended a progressive who must scold me)

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

DDD

I am on team sodomy.

I am opposed to team violence.

Sexual assault is not sex, it is violence. It is terrible.

Expand full comment

Consensual butt sechs is perfectly fine, and funny, because we assume here that butt sechs is lovely and normal if you're into it. Jokes about enjoying butt sechs would only cross a line if they're not about a matter of taste (ew, don't *taste* it!!!) but are instead implying that someone is gay and/or bad for doing butt sechs, as in "I bet he secretly" likes it up the butt" or somehow slut shaming. It's really a matter of context and judgment.

Jokes about rape are not in any case allowed.

Expand full comment

Since my jokes are usually about how crony capitalists display dominance over each other(and everyone else on the planet) in terms of raping each other in the butt have I crossed the line?

I point out that I am parodying their own violence over everyone else and their own use of rape jokes to express their dominance hierarchy and I am not condoning the practice.

Expand full comment

Context might shift it, but my take would likely be based on it's a good joke word, because it's not really used for any regular conversation. Also, it's kinda imprecise. Does it mean buttsexx or blow job? You seem to used it like I use "Papists" which isn't a real word either. Although, I've been having some of your qualms about that word.

Expand full comment

I adore the word "PaPIsT!!!!!!" but only because the RWNJs used to use it as a slur against Catholics. Now that the Baptists are in bed with the PaPIsTs!!!!!! it's not really a slur anymore.
