to speak out about the callouts of members of this group, by name, that occur in GD and VandM with some frequency. Obviously the men's group makes a habit of that sort of thing, but they seem to get a pass for virtually anything.

You call out people in GD all the time, Violet. boston bean Feb 2014 #65

No I don't. I'm not into doing call outs... Violet_Crumble Feb 2014 #82

A call out is a call out, whether done personally to another DUer boston bean Feb 2014 #86

If call outs in HOF are okay. tammywammy Feb 2014 #91

tammy, call outs are basically ok everywhere all over DU boston bean Feb 2014 #92

This is my position as well. hlthe2b Feb 2014 #93

I wasn't referring to the rest of DU. tammywammy Feb 2014 #98

I'm not removing it. boston bean Feb 2014 #99

I have to agree with the others that you are exercising selective outrage BainsBane Feb 2014 #33

I agree with you. cinnabonbon Feb 2014 #69

Yes, even a moderate lib wouldn't say the ugly things these people say Sarah Ibarruri Feb 2014 #78

You are absolutely right. There are more and more posts that are virtually undistinguishable Squinch Feb 2014 #76
