Thanks, Jeff. I know a very nice and normal woman with that name.

Well Jeff won't let us use it here at all, so... (which I also think is ridiculous)

Jeff used to let us roast and joke more. I made a reply about 5G that wasn’t even directed at anyone and it was deleted.

You have to be funny. I've been doing this for nearly 15 years and have become grumpy about lame humor. I have no idea what post you are describing. Could you refresh my memory?

I don’t even remember. But it being unfunny is kind of the point of a 5G reference.

I’ve been calling the soccer moms who overreact to everything COVID related and call the cops on neighbors as “KaronaVirus” moms.

Someone needs to think of a name for the OP of this thread:

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/875218.page

That poster not only wants to speak to the manager, but wants to sue the manager as well.

That's a classic K-word, but since we can't say that...maybe Chyron? I heard those have been getting frisky lately....

That is a Susan, no question. NEVER Sue or Susie or Sooz. Only Susan.

Your thread was one of the most ignorant things I’ve ever seen posted here. I am giving you credit for being ignorant rather than simply racist.

I understand that it's because I identified myself as a black woman in that thread, and this forum has made it clear time and time again that the black POV is not welcome. But please, continue calling me ignorant. Not just ignorant, but one of the most ignorant things you've ever seen. I'll give you credit for just being selective about how you moderate your website, rather than simply being racist. Meanwhile, I'll focus my efforts on recommending sofas to people and try my best to ignore all the hatred that spews through this forum day in and day out that you think is a-okay.

Amen. Really disappointed in you Jeff.

If you are disappointed that I don't view all black people in DC as drug users and gang members, you are really going to hate me for the other things I believe,.

I'm not talking about whatever her post was, I'm talking about your censorship of something so stupid and comparatively innocuous to things you choose to let stand. But anything to p rd protect the honor of white womanhood, amirite?

Few, if any, of the white woman on this site need me to protect their honor. I blocked the K-word because it was played out beyond belief and the constant use of it made this look like the lamest site on the Internet. Do you think I want to be the owner of a site on which the users have just caught up with 2018 and think they are the coolest kids in school?

You're censoring things because they aren't "cool" enough? Really?

Haha! Jeff, I hate to break it to you but this is a site for... parents... Most of us drive minivans. We’re posting to get advice on baby feeding schedules and stroller choices. The idea that this website is for all things cool and trendy in DC is pretty laughable.

Are you brand new here?

Jeff, if you ever read the fashion forum and looked at the shoes recommenced here, you would already know this is where cool goes to die.

This is so ridiculous. As a woman actually named K@ren, I find the defining of entitled individuals more concerned with their comfort than other's safety using my name annoying, but not offensive. The truth is K@rens are going to K@ren no matter what you call them.

I am proud to say that I live in blissful ignorance in this regard.
