Snoflake lounge?

I hate this

I get it OP but you're not helping yourself by using the term "snowflake"

Quit whining.

The title of your thread tells us everything we need to know about you, OP.

Ok OP, but aren't you also melting when there is consequence for your action?

Got yourself banned again because of this thread.

If OP was R12 in that Paula Deen thread, then no, OP didn't just summarize the documentary. OP said poor canceled Paula only said the N word because one time a black man robbed her bank at gunpoint when she was a bank teller.

But the depositions from that case have much more to say...

"In a deposition taken last month, Deen admitted using the N-word. When asked if she had used the racial slur, she said, "of course." But she said it had been a very long time. Deen told lawyers things have changed since the 1960s in the South. The lawsuit alleges that for her brother's wedding in 2007, Deen wanted, quote, "a true Southern plantation-style wedding."

"A former employee says Deen used a racial slur to describe the middle-aged black men she wanted to hire as waiters, who would wear white jackets and black bowties. In the deposition, Deen says she got the idea from a restaurant she visited which represented the Civil War era."

Of all the clapped-out loser ex-celebrities to get a blue-bar ban over...

This you, OP?

[quote] It does not look to restore her good name. Simply tell her story. She almost lost everything for being honest. The actual case against her was dismissed, she admitted using the N word after she was robbed at gunpoint as a bank teller when she was in her 20s and being raised at a time when segregation and racism were prevalent. All we ever heard was the part about her using the N word and she was done.

Can't imagine why you got FF'ed.

Oh, please. She still has millions of dollars AND her gay sons. The only empire she lost was a Food Network franchise (and those never last, anyway) and the right to slap her face on shitty North Korean pots sold at Walmart.

Don't feel sorry for the cow.

Oh, dear!

Yep that was me and I was just paraphrasing what they said was in the documentary. That is what she said why she used the word and teh case was eventually dismissed. Nowhere did I say she was innocent or guilty. But it is what it is, cancelled my membership and will jsut eventually stop coming here. Yeah I got banned then unbanned in a day for this one. Honestly it is not the first time I have been stealth banned most of the time I assumed there issues with DL but then I figured it out. One person disagrees with you boom you are banned from posting. Quite honestly I am kind of over DL. It's not fun anymore. Between the influx of the right wing nut jobs to the bans and lack of any sense of humor anymore...This is not I am leaving and taking my toys...I doubt anyone will miss my 2 dollars a month - Just going to fade away.

[quote] Nowhere did I say she was innocent or guilty.

Might wanna go back and read what you posted, R12. It's not exactly an impartial account.

The H*****se troll struck again.

OP it's no secret what this place has turned into.. from the DL Reddit thread:

Why feel sorry? Datalounge has become a echo chamber for a handful of control freak old keens and lumpen fraus. There is literally 1 poster who acts as self appointed mod and makes 50% of the threads replying to itself. It suspends any actual posters it pleases. Should be called the The Sockpuppet Lounge. Not worth 1.99 to be permitted to make one post a week.

I got banned for 48 hours after quoting a noted (and liberal) psychiatrist saying that there's no such thing as G4P.

R13 it's not about OP's lame opinion on Paula Dean. It's about the Nazi fucking censorship that has infested this site in the last year. It used to be if you disagreed with a poster you either Blocked them or more maturely just scrolled on by. When did the need to banish posters become the norm on DataLounge?

This is not your father's Muriel.

The fascist coup here at DL is merely a reflection of what's happening in America. This is definitely not your father's Muriel.

I wish DL would change to a system like Reddit has where a post can have downvotes versus upvotes instead of 4 F&Fs constituting a ban.

R13 I read what I wrote. Again, paraphrased it from the summary of what the documentary is about. It is Paula's story I just summed it up. But you can take it for what it is worth. Posting on here is like Russian Roulette.

OP / R12/ R13 you have my sympathy, there are a few vile individuals here who have multiple accounts they use to ff people into oblivion, including yourself and me. I've just got out of the pokey and have been frantically ww'ing posts left right and centre while I can. Its not so much "Snowflake Lounge" as the design flaws with the moderation system on this site being exploited by a few bad actors, its happening all over the net

[quote]I wish DL would change to a system like Reddit has where a post can have downvotes versus upvotes instead of 4 F&Fs constituting a ban.

R20 is right, although its pretty easy to get a ban on reddit too, their rules are pretty arcane and inconsistently applied. FF's should apply to a post, not the poster, more than four and the post disappears. You want a poster to go away, thats what the ignore function is for. Should be a fairly easy change to implement, and once enough people decide to ignore a bad actor maybe Muriel can then permanently delete them

R22 - I have discovered that this site doesn't have a cancel page (and as everyone knows, several other serious design flaws) and I'm considering giving Stripe shit about it, to see if the owner can get his merchant account suspended. I also have resources to get Stripe to sit up and listen to me.

I could also get into the age verification thing to see if that would get them in trouble, there are a few routes to stir up shit.

Ok, Karen @ r23.

R24 hey sometimes ya gotta be a Karen to get stuff done.

Nothing needs to be done r25. Accept DL as it is or move on.

V8fairy & socks are trolling the Kirk Threads. If you don't agree with it that a pro Palestinian was the shooter you are GONE.

R26 - Um, that's the problem. There isn't a cancel, so you can't move on. Although, I can dispute the charge, and have the vendor marked as attempting to make unauthorized charges, which is close to the same thing as what I originally stated.

[quote]There isn't a cancel, so you can't move on

Then what does the cancel link do?

R29 - There isn't one on any of the pages delivered to me on my browser (Latest Chrome).

I dont have a cancel link either?

When you click on Account, and then Subscription Status, what do you see?

One link for Pay Monthly $1.99, thats it, the rest is non linked text

R33, that’s what you should see if you aren’t a subscriber paying monthly. Do you pay monthly?

I see “Click Here to cancel your subscription at end of current period.” The Click Here is the link.

Ah OK R34 - I pay yearly, its a bit cheaper. Explained

[quote]I also have resources to get Stripe to sit up and listen to me.

Snausages?

I pay monthly and there is neither "Account" nor "Subscription Status"
