I told flint last night to defend his fuckin' self in the thread, but he said he was at a BBQ.

Priorities.

Now let's see what happens when I post the thread to his wall instead of to his messages.

It was an awesome BBQ.

In retrospect I can see that using full names was not the best choice. My apologies for this, I really hadn’t considered whether this would be a problem. Moderators, please remove all full names.

However, I don’t apologize for anything else from the original post. To repeat, in brief: I enjoy reading alternate viewpoints on social media, and welcome a healthy, spirited discussion. I believe that any ‘blocking’ or ‘deleting’ of opposing viewpoints indicates a lack of respect for the free exchange of ideas, and reinforces the ideological confirmation bias which is creating a falsely polarized representation of the American political climate. I personally find this distasteful, to a degree which necessitates strong language. I’m not sorry for this, and I’d do it again.

fine by me on removing the names, and again, I did NOT delete or block anything or anyone. If anything the person that made the comment to which you commented on may have deleted it. I do not know. All I do know is I did not delete anything, Feel free to leave me the hell alone, your views will not change mine. ever.

Someone on my youngest niece's friend list posted a really nasty, reactionary, downright racist, anti-immigration poster on their timeline, my niece reposted it with comment, except the comment didn't go in, for some reason, and instead she accidentally, randomly posted a racist poster on her own timeline ;p

Names removed

DanaC · 04-18-2016, 03:15 PM

To protect the cunty?

* sorry - I have no actual opinion on the cuntiness, or lack thereof of the protagonists in this little bacefuck dramedy - I just thought it was funny.

Since I'm now living in the Pacific NW, I'm a little unclear on the geographical boundaries of the strict use of the term barbecue. Technically, this was not a BBQ, we grilled. It was excellent, and the weather was beautiful. Good times. Also, there were two trans people there and nobody got raped in the bathroom, whether or not F**d believes this is possible.

I had figured this, and it was part of my outrage. You can put me off if you're at a BBQ. If it's dogs on a Weber, you can go to the bathroom and answer the post on your phone. Or just do it while sitting there, with your horribly overcooked burger and slice of processed cheese product.

~ ETA Were many political and social positions and types represented at this event? Bubbles aren't just for social media. You moved into one. On purpose. ~

The Cellar was co-founded by a trans person. (In a cellar.)

You want to know where I was that night? I was at a dear friend's house celebrating the anniversary of moving back in after a house fire. We were sitting outside enjoying the beautiful sunshine after a long rainy season, grilling some gourmet-ƒucking-quality food and having real-life conversations, actually in person, when you FB messaged to harass me about this thread, which I fully intended to get back to on Monday when I was at a proper keyboard, which I did. Jesus.

It was a little Briské
