First he puts up a poll on whether or not a graphic he posted reflects badly on DU because of it's use of foul language. Apparently, he's unaware that of all the things that reflect badly on DU, foul language is the least of their worries.

I need your opinion (trigger warning for language)
Most of you know I rarely swear on the DU. I received some feedback on our DU Ukraine page. I have a salute to the Ukrainians that told the Russians to F off. Should I replace that graphic on our "OFFICIAL" DU page?

<Poll Snipped but the DUmmies overwhelmingly approve of the foul language>
The "trigger warning" is absolutely precious. Unfortunately his attempt at attention-whoring didn't get a whole lot of responses so, of course, he tried to perform CPR on it:

I wonder if the Monday crowd will reply on this?
But, after only 19 responses (3 by Steve), the thread died.

The end of a DU controversy? Maybe (trigger warning language)
Many of you took the time to answer my poll over the weekend: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216477809
Over 90% said to leave the site as it was. Today I took the offending flag with the F word off the page.
Here is the result: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforukraine
I hope this ends the controversy while keeping the spirit of the Ukrainian people!

Oh my, the controversy. It was just insane.
Steve, you're so edgy and fringe. Too bad the general public might be offended by your intensity. Certainly, this thread will take off, because this controversy was splitting DU asunder. Two hours later he had to try to calm the masses and tamp out the firestorm he'd created.

1. I expected some kind of reply by now
That was the last reply. Fortunately, it saved DU from breaking down into chaos.

for creating the fundraiser. Now go get me some mini-tacos you fat waste of oxygen.
