I'm thinking of all the obvious pro-Putin posters who even defend Russia's horrible gay-bashing laws, defend the invasion of Ukraine, post insane RW conspiracy theories about anything that makes the Kremlin look bad.

And it looks like not much is being done about that http://www.democraticunderground.com/12597207

scrutinized and bait for further observance? hmmmm? they'll probably come here and look since they are trolling for certain words & names?

I imagine that they have been crazy busy lately.

from not as good as it once was to better!

Almost every single post of mine since August has had some racist troll. Every single one was removed immediately. Thank you

Or does he go after everyone?

Not just you.

Thank you!

(to the tune of the Monty Python Spam song)

After serving two MIRT terms, my respect for that team grew by leaps and bounds.

and i sometimes forget a nice place requires someone to do a lot of work.

thank you

Thanks MIRT!

Hats off to MIRT!

Thanks to all the volunteers who keep the trolls in check.

Haha

That get rid of trolls. They are the ones that make asshole messages turn into "name removed" or "auto removed" or whatever it says when RWNJ invade

Enjoy your stay.

I thought I was on a different thread.

Wondered where that came from

Kinda cracked me up. I really thought I had to have been on some other thread.

Awesome work, MIRT Master Greatauntoftriplets!

That wasn't my ban. It all happened when I was out.

You all are behind the scenes ridding the DU world of RWNJs

And as an even better testament, I never even had a chance to witness the insane post that was basically...

Clean up on aisle four!

MIRT cleans up before DU juries have to.

Kudos to MIRT.

The anger, the sickness, it's killing them inside.

Ask what you mean?

...a former DU member who keeps joining & getting banned over & over. Whee!

They're a scary bunch.

Thank you

I see the remnants (Message Auto Removed) but rarely see the actual trolls.

Actually just one.

That's hilarious

That's all.

This site does not suffer right wing trolls.

Yea! MIRT.

Are all cops in your worldview racist? Dubya and Cheney can burn in hell for all I care, but are you really going to sit there and broad brush and tar and feather all cops as racist? Seems a very non-progressive thing to do.

I see it this way with the three most high profile recent shootings (Yes I know there have been others, but this is the three highest profile:

Cop in Missouri did not commit a single crime
Cop in New York is probably guilty of manslaughter at the least, perhaps more
Cop in Cleveland is (I am unsure, need more info first)

So with those measurements and my steadfast refusal to label all cops as racist, does that make me a racist?

Edited for spelling error.

for getting rid of all racist cop supporters. That begs the question, "do you find all cops to be racists"? It is really a simple question. The evidence says decidedly no, that MOST cops are not racist. I am curious if you are buying into the mass falsely placed rage going on around DU.

Your crap isn't welcome here

Have a great night

"crap" of refusing to be silent while some denigrate an entire group of people with broad brushed bigotry and untrue hatred is QUITE welcome at a site full of Liberals and Progressives who are dedicated to fairness and truth for everyone.

There will always be people on DU that will fight bigotry and unfounded prejudice (even when it is aimed at police officers). I suggest you get used to it instead of telling people to be silent or leave.

And platitudes have zero to do with this post.

I will not address your holier than thou disparagement here.

Last time I will respond to you on this thread.

and you accuse me of a "holier than thou" attitude. Your "word salad" responses tell me that I am correct and it rankles you immensely. By all means don't respond again, our community thrives when we fight bigotry and hatred, not encourage it.

They're that good!

After reading this article I recalled about one day I treaded into graveyard of Breitbart website and I saw one of their commenters complained about one particular leftist website keep blocking or auto remove their comments. They said they have all the rights to be vocal about their opinions and troll anywhere in Internet. I, of couse use my different alias of screenname, asked tha idiot what website that commenter was talking about, that person mentioned DU in its full name. I laughed my ass off on this one.

Although, to be honest, there are a lot of people who are more on top of things than I am as a current member. It is hard to keep up unless you are on here constantly.

It can be quiet for hours, then suddenly, the floodgates open.

Like Cruz on Cheney

Thanks again!

I actually stole it from someone else. The Rude Pundit said that Cheney sucks demon dick (or something like that) I said that The Demon sucks Cheney dick because Cheney is pure evil. Then someone else said no, because they couldn't pull Cruz off Cheney.

Better?

I don't want the bunny to die. This is a good thing

That was meant as a compliment. Just realized that with those 2 in a sentence, it might not have been obvious.

Sadly, there are so very many more who manage to stick around for way too long. Without MIRT, it would be so much worse.

the near-invisibility of their prey.

MIRT is a pretty interesting experience, in a lot of ways. I'd definitely encourage everyone who is eligible to take a crack at it - you'll see DU in a very different light...

I might get rid of people who have been around for a year or so who try to change the subject of a thread by race baiting.

Thanks for your service

Star Trek nerd reference for non-Trekkies.

A fascinatingly moral example to be repeated.

For all that y'all do, Thank You, MIRT!

A big thank you!

This place would be unbearable without you! Thanks a million!
