Of _all_ sexes, you mean?

And in case anyone accuses it of being sexist, the expression was originally coined as a gay slang term referring specifically to a homosexual male...

Well, that escalated quickly...

That said, I don't post here very often anymore, simply because some of the threads that genuinely interest me (like COVID...) are way too big, long and unwieldy and I can never be sure if something I post hasn't been posted already a couple of days ago (and I cannot read every message of those threads, I already have a full-time job...).

And sometimes, before I post something I ask myself: "Does this really add value? Does this have a point? Does this have a point I haven't made before?".
And then I don't post.

A sidenote:
For historical correctness, I would ask anyone to refrain from labeling other people as "Nazis", unless they identify as such - a sort of reflex in some people, I have come to realize.

The term one may be looking for is (IMO) "fascist" - though I'm not sure if what we're looking at (Ms. vdL et.al.) is really fascism or something else entirely. Time will tell.

This would be a different topic entirely anyway.

In any case, I wish Ms. EE all the best for her EF-less future. I'm sure there are still enough people out there who appreciate her help.

There are only two?

Tom

She had EB delete her, and thus cannot post.

Tom

Yeah, we worked it out 2 pages ago
EF, EE, EB it all gets confusing

The EU itself is fascism incarnate!

Tom

She's a mod, she can do and say as she likes.

would you care to elaborate - some analyses and books out there ?

Not here, open another thread if necessary.

Yeah well, bet they’re all looking in quite often. Noone really leaves EF... What do people expect, go against a few who just love to pick on newbies and it all starts from there, especially with non-(whatever)-ist views, well it did for me but I’m still here. I use the forum as I please, if I’m annoyed I don’t participate for a while and then come back. I’ve also met people from the forum in real situations, most I wouldn’t choose to meet generally but a few great people. A few proper assholes who are bitter because they didn’t quite make it here but still hang on to their past.

It is what it is. I. Know lots of useful EFers have left but part of being a good member is to stick with it as the forum like many social media platforms can chop and change as time goes by. I know one thing is for sure too; there are some fantastic, knowledgeable experts on here with which many (including myself) should be truly grateful for the insights they gave. If I was considered anything like them it would make me very proud. And I think that was why this forum was created by Mark and co. many moons ago.

I have only been on here a couple of weeks and I must concur that some of the discussions do seem to get a bit tasty.
I personally wouldn’t worry too much about being called a fascist ...in the UK at least it’s standard Guardianspeak for anyone to the right of Stalin.

Same is true for certain members too, I always assumed they have some compromising photos

Fascists are lefties.

Tom

Please stop it with the trolling.

Flounce by proxy, I think this is a first?

Nope, it’s true .

Read your history book .

Gentile was more leftist than Lenin .

Mussolini was kicked out of the socialist party for being too extreme

Indeed, very proud to have been given the task, no doubt it will not be the last as people appreciate integrity, which is often lacking.

Irrespective of the verity or not of the statement it does not belong on this thread yet Tom persists.
If he wants to discuss it he should take the discussion elsewhere.

It's rare I laugh out loud from posts, but that was one of them. FMF thinks he is a 'man of integrity'... just...

You could start up a new business:

FMF's Proxy Flounce Incorporated. We will give your flounce the integrity it deserves.

Typical case of things told over the internet which are not told in their faces
