babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

Ongoing battle around IAW, and using, or not using, the A word to describe Israel's actions in ON

One of my worst faults, I know, is a knee-jerk tendency to presume that people who are pretentious and rude at the same time are probably also still wet behind the ears. I know that's age-ist of me, and I hereby apologize for the prejudice, but I'm having the worst time shaking it right now -- dunno why.

You shouldn't speak of Unionist that way. He's been around here a long time and has earned the right.

Something funny happened to spurs on the Progressive Bloggers feed last night. You know anything about that, urh?

So synthome is accused of immaturity and he retaliates by saying "I know he is, but what am I?" 

Brilliant.

Are you self-promoting? Honestly, I don't know what you're referring to.

Not to worry. I'll stop now, you can ban me, but I really am appalled at the double standards applied here. You have every right to feel betrayed, even dismayed. But DiNovo does not deserve this kind of treatment. You have been ungracious in your interpretations, cynical in your attacks, and hateful in your scorn. And you have done it with the blessing of the moderators and in contravention of your own policies. That is shameful!

Even when someone in the NDP is so clearly wrong they are always right with you, remind. You will condemn people of color, women of color, activists, people who have suffered oppression, anyone and everyone, who is critical of an NDPer who fucked up. You will happily throw them all under the bus and smear them with ridiculous accusations to boot.

You know what FM, all that is smearing fucking bull shit, I have condemned CDN about her actions,  and have even stated her office should be picketed it over it. What I am in disagreement with is the ugly nature of actions towards her, and now myself,  for having the audacity to say stop fucking attacking her personally and blamming the victim in respect to her assertations of death threats etc.

And your calls of partisanship on my part are pathetic small minded musings. As your actions and others in this thread and previous ones actually give great credibility to the type of attacks CDN was getting at home. It does not take any stretch of the imagination to see where some privileged fuck wit thinks they can be hyprocrits and level threats against her.

 

Just look what I am getting here because I have stated stick to the issues of her political actions in respect to IAW, and stop blamming the victim and calling her a liar.

Okay, enough. Either shit or get off your pot. Who made "threats"? Is there a police investigation? If not, then it is bullshit right along with this married woman's sudden relevation that she's gay. Get over yourself. It is this sort of blind obedience in the face of bald stupidity that keeps me from ever seeing the benefit of belonging to a party.

really, I could get real nasty with you, but there is no need, your words and actions exhibit who and what you are.

And heads up I do not belong to the NDP, especially NOT the ONNDP. But I do know the difference between taking exception to  stalking harassing and bullying and partisanship actions.

You know, I could see all this fucking hate spewing on the part of yourself and others, if I had agreed with CDN in the least, but I haven't. Just my standing up for better behaviour has made me the target of hate nonsense such as yours.

 

And again I will state; where is this type of hate spewing against catchfire and Lou Arab, who also called for it to stop?

Comfort was given to the enemies of reason, justice and humanity with the selfish and thoughtless decision to side against those struggling to bring these matters into the light of day, in the face of all attempts by the mainstream media and old line elected sycophants to obscure the dreadful reality of the colonies, those wanton acts of depravity inflicted daily upon an occupied population, that have been supported as policy by our government representatives from one gutless regime to the next. The enemies are now among us to lecture about proportionality with an air of unamused elitism, complete with the backhanded wave, which convinces no one but themselves that the dishonest and apologist claptrap being peddled has a shred of validity from a progressive view.

@ Stargazer: Did you just say "dude"? Thanks for updating you're status to "really pissed". I needed the heads up. You're hipmeter is off the charts. I'm an equal opportunity hater of all drivel, especially hateful drivel, and you're keeping me too busy to go anywhere else.

Dude, I'm a Socialist!  

Now don't feed the troll (the one contravening babble policy). Caissa, you're right. babble is not intolerant, it has tremendous latitude for its lackeys (yes, like Stargazer), just no so much forgiveness in terms of difference of opinion.

 

 

Oh, so you like to bait and troll? Wow, so cool of you! I was already pissed but now that you're here, I'm in a great mood! I get to watch yet another desperate troll self- destruct. What can be more fun? Oh right, I'm talking about you. I guess your idea of fun is to reincarnate yourself every time you are banned. Wow, you're a real tropper huh?Doing good working for leftish causes? Don't know how you keep up with all your online personalities though. Do you charge for performances? I'll give you 5 dollars if you do a back flip while reciting bible passages. Your turn.

 

That's right - I'm a "hipster" and you sir, and a misguided silly wee man.

remind, what you are getting here is justified outrage. Cheri seems to have the MSM and the powerful Tarek Fatah on her side.

She is NOT A VICTIM.

Oh Dear.  This person truely has a pathological fixation.  Such people feed on attention, not caring if it's positive or negative, and are best utterly ignored.

You know what, someone who recieves death threats, and then gets questioned on her truthfulness about it and called a liar, is  being victimized regardless of who agrees with her.

 

Outrage over her words/actions in the ON legislature  is justified, I agree, never have not, and have actually taken independant action through another non-political channel about it, but going to where it has been going on the parts of some, isn't okay, not even close to it.

Synthome aka Derrida aka spurs hasn't got over Dr. Dawg's effusive praise of his vicious attack on babble:

What a breath of fresh air this post is!

I've had my own problems with Babble, and then with EnMasse, which proved to be a kind of Babble(ML). You are, of course, entirely right, both about the feral participants there, and also the "moderators." These are line boards pretending they're not. [...]

Anyway, bravo. If the Left is ever going to be more than a discussion group, we need to kick open the doors, challenge our leftist commonplaces, take a new direction.

Our troll is just obeying orders.

Long thread.

I've reopened this thread (should be fun!) for further discussion.
