Chela is an asshole and has always been an asshole. We have plenty of bigots and jerks around here, but chela is one of the few posters who just plain enjoys being mean.

I rarely see anything of substance from @TroutMan other than mealymouthed put downs and strident vocalizations bordering on hysteria.  
Go fish you fussy bottom feeder.

They wish they could carry off a prosthetic breast in shorts and serial killer wig. Alas they’re stuck wiggling on the end of a hook.

Interesting strategy. Do the very thing they said you do, and not bother defending yourself from any of the other accusations.

And then, while I’m typing, confirm that you were in fact posting the other thread to attack the trans woman.

You want I should defend myself? To give satisfaction for the collective seeking shits and giggles. Read into it what you want Your mind is made up as it follows your fairytale narrative of that the dope is harboring bigots everywhere you look.

Is that the narrative? Odd that we’re talking in the one thread devoted to highlighting trolling and bigotry if there are bigots everywhere we look.

To be perfectly fair, in regard to the “hidden profile” thing, many people have ended up with hidden profiles by accident somehow. It’s often not done on purpose.

(Though yes, a number of trolls, spammers, and other ne’er-do-wells have been known to hide their profiles intentionally.)

It’s funny, transphobes usually insist they’re the outspoken members of a silent majority pushing against “gender ideology.” If accepting transgender people really was as broadly unpopular as they claim it should be no fairytale to see bigots everywhere you look, as long as you assume “trans-exclusionary” as a definition of “bigot.”

Instead what I see on the board is most people are welcoming or neutral toward trans people, with only a small vocal minority attempting to express their hatred in a way that doesn’t get them banned. Does identifying a handful of bigots count as seeing them around every corner? How many corners does the Dope have, anyway?

We don’t have corners. No sharp edges of any kind, now that you mention it. And an awful lot of padding on the walls…
