Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDo you know that there is a right wing forum who is a big fan of DU?
while searching on Google, i stumbled upon a "Right Wing Forum". They have a whole section of the forum dedicated to DU where they discuss DU topics (GD, Breaking news etc)....they also comment on DU Members post...quote user's post with their name..give awards to DU users... etc..etc..
To my surprise, that "DU Whining Section" is the largest and most popular forum section. They have almost 30k threads and 470k+ Posts in that section. No other section is greater and popular on that forum.
Seems right...all they want to do is whining and crying about what liberals are saying instead of concentrating on other things.
They may also notice this thread and start bashing...I may be qualified for one of the award this year..
EDIT : They already found this thread within 2-3 minutes. Now i think my roast will begin over there.

Those cheap ones have not spent a red cent on a certificate, let alone a proper trophy...don't even dream of the awards winner.

renate
(13,776 posts)I sure didn't know about them and if I'm not alone in that, I think it's a hoot and a holler that they're over there ranting and raving, like a toddler whose parents just go about their business during a tantrum. Tales told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
GladRagDahl
(237 posts)there are a lot of people posting who ARE giving them a lot of fodder. I called a couple of people on stupid comments today, but it's fruitless.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)That place is 8+ years old. Their reason to exist is gathering dossiers, preparing for the coming war and cleansing the country of liberals, progressives, Marxists and fascist. (Your head should start hurting by now). If there was a more popular site than this, they would go there,that us their raison d'être. It matters little what you post.
If they ever acted their sick fantasy, real people would die.
So no, I don't find it particularly funny. But freedom of speech being what it is, they have a right to their hate site, that is until they act on their intentions.
You can call people whatever you want to call them, if they were targeted for dossier gathering, they will be followed by these sick (bleep) regardless.

Can you imagine being that screwed up?

(34,490 posts)I had forgotten about it. Is that forum still in existence? I remember them from years ago.
LTR
(13,227 posts)I assume the OP is referring to the latter.
Thing is, both of those forums are nothing more than obscure circle jerks for whiny brats who respond with childish insults because they can't win with facts. Bunch of losers and nobodies. Ignore them - they're irrelevant.

They're worthless. Ignore them.
renie408
(9,854 posts)That's what people with an agenda do. People here oftentimes hear what they want to hear in a post, too. So somebody is making fun of us...so what? You can't control other people, all you can do is control yourself. Like I told my kids when they were little; if somebody makes fun of you, it says more about them than it does you.
Honestly, I think it is a little pathetic and kind of funny.
renie408
(9,854 posts)I mean...REALLY weird.

Total losers with nothing better to do. Life doesn't get much more pathetic than that.

Dash87
(3,220 posts)It's a troll website dedicated to attacking DU. If you don't take it seriously, it's fairly amusing. They also do stuff like doxing DUers and cyber bullying, but thats why no one should give personal info out online - especially on sites like this.
Coyotl
(15,262 posts)It gives them something to do, which is a good thing.
Plus, we get to see just how lame they are.
I troll over there and have already posted on the tread about this thread. No one even suspects me of being a troll, and I've been registered over there for a long time now. I just dumb down my writing a lot and use typos to hide my true intelligence.
See if you can tell who posted their post in this thread over there. Hint, low IQ and low post count here.

Aristus
(66,369 posts)Every once in a while, I'll post a thread regarding an astonishing piece of medical 4-1-1 like "smoking is bad for you and anybody within breathing distance of you".
They'll send over a slavering hoard of outrage trolls who post stuff like "How DARE you?!? My uncle smoked three packs a day starting when he was eight! And he lived to be 137 bazillion years old!" or shit like that.
Or they'll call my medical competency into question.
There's one guy, at least, who remembers when I was a Medical Assistant, and tells his pals, and other DU-ers, that I'm not a medical provider, and my advice is suspect. He evidently doesn't know the difference between a Medical Assistant, and a Physician Assistant, which is what I am now. Either that, or he is incapable of comprehending that people can go to school, learn new skills, and advance from their previous job level.
Anyway, yeah; the dregs of humanity, the lot of them...

(62,415 posts)not only their little parasitic lives living on our droppings, but no doubt they most likely also have heroes who in reality are little more than cowardly bullies.
Well if you read this one you can discuss the depths of scorn and disgust I have for your petty little lives.
You could instead do something of value with your time and help a fellow human. Lord knows the Republicans have scarred the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans.

(1,451 posts)Well let me have at it. You RIP's are as dumb as a box of rocks. I take that back rocks got you beat. How STUPID can you Rip's be that your dumb ass don't know you are the 47%????? Anybody that can add one and one and come up with two can see the emperor is NAKED!!! You busy whining about what we do at DU, you need to learn the art of Fact Checking. No, that is not an offer from Bank of America Silly ass people. I see you rethuglicans as the ones that the 1% can actually piss on your head and you believe its raining. You look up to a fat limp dick radio spazz and call him king. You watch a cable entertainment program and call it news. You think that Ann Giraffe-neck Coulter is sexy You let the Beckster sell you Gold and jars of pee and call us Nasty How's that pissy deal working out for you??? You have a Caribou Princess that can't hold nothing. She can't hold a vice presidency, a governorship, book sales, intelligent conversation, or a black ball player. Maybe she can get lessons from the K Crew

(53,061 posts)a higher awareness of particular poster's history than almost everybody who actually posts here.
The time that they invest in it is rather spectacular.
I try to remember to visit once a year to see who has bothered them the most in their annual competition, but where they were once moderately witty they have since become painfully tedious.

(90,687 posts)A year or so ago one of these DU threads intrigued me enough to go spelunking and search for my own name. Turns out I'm blasphemous.
While the characterization did make me genuinely laugh out loud, their obsessive stalking of DU is unbelievably creepy. Don't any of them have lives of their own? What would Sigmund Freud say? And the fact that some of them have made a point of amassing "dossiers" on individual DUers actually makes them dangerous -- truly, as some here have been harmed in real life.
In a way, I'm surprised this thread is still open. DU used to make a point of not mentioning them by name, in order to deny them hits on the google. But you have to admit that batting trolls around can be fun.

I wonder what one has to do to avoid becoming a "PoP" as they call it? Just not stand out as being incredibly stupid when posting? This is all a bit scary to me as a newbie. Life is hard enough without worrying about shit like this.
