ROFL... Okay, so you're talking about being persecuted on a private social media site... NOT in real life. The way you were talking I assumed it had to do with somethinse any sort of imprecation you like...as long as it is aimed at conservatives or Republicans. I had madeg of significance. So a bunch of liberals got together and decided to create a social media site where they clearly don't like Trump, and then you went and got butt-hurt because they found out you hold opposing views. How awful for you! But you DO realize that private social media sites, just like private clubs, have every right to decide who can and who can't be a member, right? Nothing is stopping you from starting your OWN site, where you can bar liberals OR choose to have a policy where ANYONE can join. *****ing and moaning because these people are offended by your support of the idiot in the White House just makes you sound like a delicate snowflake.
Well, you have just proven that you neither read properly, nor care. You skipped over the rock throwing thing and the not being hired bit....and are all about the 'social media' site.
Well, bub, it's NOT a 'social media site' in the way Facebook and other such sites are. It is a market place. People sell their patterns there, and others BUY patterns there. I was a member...and an active one...for over ten years. I had purchased hundreds of patterns from designers who sell through them. Now I can't do that. It is EXACTLY as if I were refused service in a restaurant or told that I couldn't enter and purchase something in a store because of my political views.
Now, you have exposed yourself as a "Trump hater" (and frankly, he's not my favorite person either, but that's a personal judgment) and a left wing liberal.
Not a problem, except for the hypocrisy.
I am quite certain that if I had been, say, gay or atheist and had given the same list, you would be all sympathetic and outraged at the discrimination shown here.
Yes. Ravelry is a private site and the owner can have any rules he likes. What he is doing is perfectly legal, and I support, believe it or not, his right to do this. However, he's being bigoted and discriminatory, and it is MY right to say so.
I think it is the right of ANY privately owned business to have whatever rules they like.
However, I think it is hypocrisy defined to call ME a 'whiner' and support Ravelry and call me a liar for the other experiences I have had....when I am QUITE certain that you support the right of gays to sue photographers and bakers, and are probably all for the boycotts that force businesses to put signs outside their stores welcoming everybody (except conservatives) in, and you probably think that that bakery which sued Oberlin college SHOULD have let those shoplifters go....and probably would have been a part of the mob that darned near ruined a business that had been in town for nearly a century, BECAUSE they held two "black" shoplifters for the police instead of letting them steal the wine and go free.
No. I think I have exposed the hypocrisy here.
