If you only have to call someone by name to degrade or insult them, then why was he offended by my saying "Best picture on the forum!" His name never came into play. And telling me the pix of myself are as insulting as a picture GL posted to poke fun at him is hardly apples and oranges.
TDK regularly slams overweight/older women, which I am. And he ridicules men who prefer said women. Just because we aren't his preference doesn't mean he has to slam us. That's the kind of bs that has to stop on here. He and every other man on this forum do not want to be judged by outward appearance (skin color), yet it's perfectly acceptable to him to judge women by their outward appearance (weight). He (and maybe others) will argue that they are not the same, but I beg to differ. A person should not be judged on their outward appearane, period. Whether that appearance can be changed or not, whether there is violence attached or whatever other nonsense can be used to justify his position.
He also likes to call me a "passive aggressive warrior" and "victim." Um, he's the victim, not me. I'm not going around bemoaning the fate of fat women, or older women. I only challenge him when he degrades them. And while I can be sarcastic and act snarky now and then, I'm not passive aggressive. If I want to speak to him, I will speak TO HIM. He doesn't have to read my posts and insinuate himself into them, which he does. If I mean to call him out, I will do so. I'm not one to suffer in silence.
TDK keeps this board lively, I will give him that. And that's ok. Zeal and passion for what you believe in is fine. But when you run roughshod over other people's opinions and ridicule them and call them names, that just shows his immaturity. People who do so show their insecurity by degrading others to make themselves feel better.
I'm not afraid to speak up with him. But like any battle, there are rules of engagement and he breaks them all.

Have your opnion but respect others while doing it.
