That bug was in use by one poster only since I used a desktop to get on DU....that was like 5 years ago.

don't allow us to enjoy that flung crap. Are you a bug swatter type? I assume so. Your bug swatter is not as annoying to my eye as the bug but it still sucks.

Siglines blocked for years due to that one guy's bug.

I believe in community.

I can't see avatars or sig lines since I'm on mobile..

Don't know what a bug swatter is and really don't know the ins and outs of the issue and don't ever involve myself in such things here...

i found the other bugs an amusing synchronicity.

As a heart patient, I try no to get upset about little things.

My advice to you is to do the same. A heart attack is no joke.

I've hid all of the damn bugs and the flyswatters. The former because it was a genuine irritant to me visually, and the latter because it was only fair if I hid the other. Not to mention it was a tacky GIF in the first place.

I've had to hide a few other signature GIFs in the past, too. They were either too loud visually for me, or too distracting. Some of us have issues with things like that. It's not a testament of our feelings to the people who chose them. It's just that they bother the living hell out of some of us.

Do you remember MySpace and all its atrocious HTML people thought they were so smart and "in" for using? I despised it and avoided it at the time, much to the displeasure of my peer group. Similar thing here, just a different decade.

and a few others, and due to my own bad eyes. I'd love to enjoy the rest of them, people talk about them and say 'see my sig line' all the time.

and pick 'Block image' and it is gone. (and if you don't already use it, I recommend it - free, and blocks a lot of ads)

Since it seems like a lot of posters are using the same source for the gif, doing it a few times makes it go away.

I didn't mind it when it was just the original person using it but once it and the flyswatter became prolific I started hiding them whenever i saw them.

It lets me right click and hide specific images. I love it!

in the upper-right of the page. Avatars can be hidden as well, if desired...

Meant more for a chuckle than a serious complaint.

Go to your account & turn off "signature lines".

Why expect others to change something they all like when you can do something to make them go away on your own?

It's an option in your account settings.

too many liberal voices no longer post on this underground site and that is our loss.

The infestation is annoying though.

He was lost to DU after an overly legalistic enactment of rules that are ignored, if certain partisans are the culprits.

That cuts. That should not be the future. That's why I added a LOonix bug.

in the general if it wasn't the same Democrat they voted for in the primary?

If s/he was, then the banning was fair. It was clearly against the rules.

That was why he was banned. He personally did not advocate that point.

He was trying to skirt the rules. So be it.

And he administrators.

Dude can go fuck himself.

at which the openly plan how to goad DUers into getting hides courtesy of "their" juries or into getting tombstoned.

The screencaps have been posted time and again.

But you know all that.

always need a good laugh

How can you take away their bugs and flyswatters I ask you? I don't think it is a bug as much as a feature of the site. Some get the spray.

Many people here lost 'clever' status long ago...oh right the bug I mean.

Pathetic, do you want me to type it one hundred times? I can joke about myself, how about you?

That bug represented the all too many who are gone from here. They are at other forums, but they know we meant it for them.

I think the fly swatter represents a form of contempt for Bernie supporters.

He (presumably a he) is mocking himself.

It'll save your sanity. I promise.

Amazing the silly crap that annoys some people on here! Makes you wonder!

I see bugs everywhere.

It's funny, but the bug bothered me more before the vitreous matter separated from my retina. Once the floaters started and I learned to ignore those, the bug was easily ignored too.

My eye doc cracks up when I tell her that.

How can one keep a straight face when a big chunk floats over the bosses nose?

about the bug.

The solidarity being shown is transparency to me. I consider each person with it to be working against the election of democrats just like the banned poster they are showing solidarity with.

eom

from saying something I'd regret.

On that note, L0onix was a great DUer.

Where is my check?

eom

She's been trying to reach you and the sign "gone fishing" on your office door doesn't exactly help matters.

and presume to tell the DU community how to operate?

That is one presumptuous bag of bricks you are slinging around.

The bug is stupid.

Better?

I tend to be a shade more judicious and don't go out of my way to insult people that aren't deserving of the stick instead of the carrot.

Cheer up. It's a new day, no reason to start it off on a bad note.

Fair play eh?

It's fine with me if you wish to engage in verbal pugilism this early in the dang morning, but at least you are up against a fair opponent.

That is what I conclude you are up to. Better someone that can defend themselves than a random victim.

Lay it on me.

I just got 10 PMs warning me to stay clear of you...

On edit: just got 2 more.

I don't partake, since I'm an unsweetened iced tea fan, but dang.

time for the silly bugs to go.

some of his friends don't like it, so they're wearing the bug in protest.

I, for one, am glad he's gone, so I made the fly-swatter in reply to the protest, and to show my support for the decision.

PO'd that people remember a former member of the forum that was banned under suspicious circumstances.

They're all over the place. I've even modified them so they crawl off the screen. In fact, they're crawling off the keyboards and onto the fingers of certain DUers at this very moment. Give 'em long enough and they'll crawl all the way up to your elbows. They're creepy, but it's so cool to watch.

If you do this the gnats will stop. They will just be a speck on your screen. This means all animated gifs will cease to move as well but I like having my screen calmed down.

Here's a link to the post. Follow the link in the OP and make the changes to your browser.

Some people (those with bugs and those with swatters/sprays) can't handle it sometimes. I let them do their little thing, alert on meta silliness and move on.

The bugs will go away.

We lost a significant part of the forum when we lost L0onix, and it is upsetting.

posted without comment an OP containing an excerpt of an article from another site that suggested that people who really supported Bernie should sign a pledge to write in Bernie's name in the general, if Hillary won the primary. Admins took this as a tacit declaration that he/she supported this idea, and ppr'ed him/her. And, btw, admin has made it clear that the ToS part that talks about not being allowed to diss the nominee after both party's nominees are known, does not actually have any such time limitation, and proclaiming "believably" that you will not vote for Hillary should she win the nomination will get you banned even now, long before the actual nominee is known. Now whether or not that means that anyone who gets banned now for refusing to support hypothetical Hillary is to be reinstated if Bernie wins the nomination has not been said.

is that other people decide what you think about something. And if she does win the nomination then we better damn well vote for her, or Trump will be naming the next Supreme Court Justice (or two)

I thought what the hell is on my screen and tried to squash it.

Who cares?

Pathetic? Sad? Who cares? Petty? It is a war that is this important >----<.
