I don't know if DU lets non-members read profiles, so if not here's the explanation as to why this poster had their "posting privileges revoked" (DU's euphemism for banning):

Man I wish Atlas would write similar things if it is going to ban people, even if only for the entertainment value.

DU doesn't delete posts, it just "hides" them, probably because its threaded system would would make it difficult and end up deleting whole sub-threads.

OK, so like a Reddit type system.

If you're too lazy to check the URL of that link, it's Democratic Underground.

This is actually a pretty interesting case because of its prominence in DU's "Feminist War". Feminist infighting on DU is so bad that rather than just have a feminism group (DU Groups are basically just specialized sub-forums for various types), they had to have three, a "Feminism and Diversity" one for liberal third-wavers, a "History of Feminism" one for the second-wave Dworkin/MacKinnon-style and a plain old "Feminism" group which in theory is a joint one between the two, but in practice is rarely used because the two factions hate each other. This poster in particular was basically dedicated to little more than attacks on the first group.

And this is why feminism is more or less dead.

Really? Amusing, though it kind of is shallow from my perspective (biased I know) to have a blanket rule like that even if you're attracted to someone.

I am attracted to your posts but would not have sex with you. I am also attracted to opportunities to speak the literal truth in jest.
