misspelling.

They can hardly monitor themselves you know.

Is that anything like the Freedom Trail?

I was done with that place 2 hours after it opened and I find no reason..


eh, whatever

There's no point in 'debating' them.

'Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.'

Ain't it the truth though

It's a place the loonies can go to spread their hate.

Although not the poster you are referring too

Wish I was as good as you at spotting the returnees.

49. Here's one of mine that got banned.

I put it up at 8 sites around the liberal blogosphere. It is controversial as hell and lasted 5 minutes at DU. It was banned yet everything in it is linked with video evidence and US government websites.
It's still up at Daily Kos and FireDogLake although Daily Kos shut down the comments after 24 hours. Personally I love shaking up conventional thought and I will still go right into the hornets nest of DU and keep hitting those close minds if it helps bring the truth to light and possibly saves lives. It's a sadistic humorous pleasure of mine to disturb them at this point.

Textbook....

"With me, fishing has always been mostly an excuse to drink before noon."

And since he's clearly never used the rest of the Internet before, I guess this does amount to sensorship.

From what I can gather we may have an unwanted returnee.

The hidden post ws:

Sour Grapes Underground.

There are so many who are obsessed with DU. Cringe worthy.

made over on Discussionist. The hilarity never ends.

Among all the trolling, baiting and flame wars, I still think there's a chance that people with vastly differing beliefs and opinions might actually discuss things civilly, and maybe even communicate.

I'm glad Skinner created the site; it's an opportunity those like me to discuss issues from the far left without violating DU's TOS.

I think it needs more time and definitely more exposure

It's still drawing from the same-old, same-old forum crowd

overall the hate is pretty overwhelming, but I am not one to give up easily

It is fun using facts and discussing issues with the conservatives. I have a high tolerance for stupidity from my years living in Texas and it is fun going after the right wing talking points

Surprised that this account hasn't been banned yet, like 20 or so of her other accounts.

Man, the stupid is strong in that one.

Something is skewing her view of events.

The community standards have dropped as more conservatives join up. It's anything goes over there.

Although many of the trolls and hit and run artists would like to think so.

There's certainly an alert war going on, with many meta threads bemoaning "you voted to hide Me but not THIS?"

I think this part of the necessary development of any Internet community; remember that DU didn't even have a jury system back in the day?

One could post on controversial subjects without fear, no storm-trooper mods killing topics based on their own personal opinions... ahhh, the good old days.

I had hopes for the place in the initial days, but it's become a bastion of low-hanging fruit and banned DUers. Still, that in and of itself may yet be a good reason to continue casual observances of the place.

Some "Culture" they've got going.....

that the general nastiness was clouding my entire day. I used to have to work with people like that; it's been 10 years and it still effects how I react to people and situations.(hence my pseudonym!)

There's enough evil in the world that I don't need to spend any time dealing with (if you'll excuse the expression) shit heads.

Like walking into a room full of Ted Nugents, Kevin O'Learys and Debbie Schlussels.

I thought it might be okay for about a nanosecond but was quickly disabused of that notion.

:shudder:
