Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region Forumsso, I joined discussionist, and got suspended after 7 posts>> here's the interaction:
the IT guy said:
19.
note the clever avatar
to which I replied:
what part of what I posted was crap, btw?
did you take your hood off long enough to see the keyboard?
good for you
now go take a chill pill, or call your mommy
EDIT: just saw your beyond clever avatar, or whatever you call it here. tells me all I need to know about you. god, this is too easy
I guess the little baby did the latter. I think I was replying to the guy with this for his avatar. it's one of the CHOICES they offer users!!!!
and to whomever said they were more lenient over there, WTF? was my response so out of line, compared to the lunacy abundant at this thread:
http://www.discussionist.com/1015898615
I thought I acquitted myself quite perspicaciously and charmingly during my brief tenure. any thoughts?

That's.... interesting, to say the least.

(28,795 posts)I'm suspended til they review my account
did you glance at the thread?
the level of conservative response is embarrassing. it was fun while it lasted. if I'm allowed back, I'll try to find out who the candy ass was.
jury voted 5-2 to pull it. they allow comments there. only one person commented. he said something about the alerter needing pampers.

(28,795 posts)thanks. I'll take them down if they cross the line....two expungements in two hours is a bit much
thanks

(654 posts)no shortage of cons over there whining about liberal's tender sensibilities and all the while alerting on everything.
There's no shortage of whiny, thin skinned cons who play a sad one note song.

I have the 25th anniversary edition. if you haven't seen that one, you can get it from your library....great documentary stuff

He was the one who first told me of this place, back "around the turn of the century..."
As for the 25th anniversary edition -- haven't seen it!
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)we often exchanged kubrickisms and the like
so sorry to hear that. did you know him at all? my condolences
you can get it from your library... I promise. if they don't have it on hand, they can order it via Inter Library Loan. I do that almost every week.
you won't be sorry, I promise
CRM 114 to you, my friend
villager
(26,001 posts)Yes, Fred, a.k.a PoE here, and I knew each other going back to college.
And it's been some... decades, since then.
And just watch out for *Serum* 114!
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)than mine, if at all.
had to google the serum bit....now I get it! haaa....
and, have you heard of this:
Serum 114>>>>an Australian short. I'm going to ILL it and see if it's available anywhere
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808912/
and.....it's a german band!
the first comment up there right now is mine......
villager
(26,001 posts)But how do you say "Clockwork Orange" in German?
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)here:
Uhrwerk Orange
I knew the werk part, and, I think, the orange...no idea for clock
just google English to german, or any Language to any language....it's FUN!

But you are free to add your own Confederate Flag, if you want to - just as you can upload your own personal avatar here.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)they had their own offerings. I looked for some, unsuccessfully. now I know why I couldn't find any
thanks....
if that thread I found was any indication, I won't be going there much
That's problematic.
cheapdate
(3,811 posts)Most of it isn't worth commenting on, and lots of them aren't worth engaging with.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)is the level of discussion that abominable?
and is it mostly wingnut heaven, or what?
and, if they don't let me back, would you mind posting a parting message for me?
thanks
cheapdate
(3,811 posts)Quite a few others aren't. Completely one dimensional. There are a handful of Democrats, myself included. I've sort of narrowed the list down to who is worth the time to post a serious argument with and who is only good for trolling and baiting.
I'd be glad to pass any message you want, but ITGuy and Dexter are two of the worst of the worst (but not the worst...it gets worse.)
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)did you ever engage that creep about his confederate flag? I'd love to hear his rationalization
perhaps you can get him going about BLM, or Obama's amazing speech today.....I LOATHE political speeches; just empty words, no matter who's speaking them. I caught some extended clips on msnbc, and almost started crying, and that's not something that happens often. last time was when I lost my satellite remote.....I kid; I'm a kidder.
tonight's speech was different: he really put himself on the line....reminded me of Colbert in front of Bush, but with something tangible at stake.
if that wasn't the best speech he's ever given, I'd like to see what tops it....not that I ever listen to them. dunno how much it's going to help Hillary, though. sorta like the Notorious RGB's crazy outburst....not good politics, Ruth....the feebs will be rallying around the liberal SCOTUS like maggots around an open wound.
did you see the four stonefaced cops behind him? the only time they really reacted was when he talked about cops being asked to do to much, and the audience eventually stood....if you get a chance, watch the audience during the speech.
it was fascinating to see the reactions. the African American women directly behind him barely moved, until he started talking more about specific racial issues. then they started reacting, with slight nods, at first, them more demonstratively. this while everyone else in the background sat impassively, trying their best not to move a body or facial muscle.

Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)not very, I'll feature.
really really STUPID gits over there.....no imagination whatsoever
at least I try to use the best words, like my idle idol.
Rex
(65,616 posts)It is so much fun to goad them into a foaming rant. Too easy really. I like how Skinner has let them run loose so we can see their real moronic side and not just their inner racist. Half of them swear the End Times Obama Bad Man Taking Away All Guns and Bibles are upon them! At least every other weekend!
It is great entertainment, however sad that so many of them are still obsessed with DU and even bigger losers then when they got banned off this site.

(28,795 posts)worked quite charmingly well, doncha think? they sure are incapable of that function over there.
it really is astounding......the only thing I remember as not a complete insult post was one that CPd total BS about the Iraq War, including the "fact" that they really had WMDs! very very shallow
at least here, as much as I disagree with the new sheriffs in town, this place is a font of news and views...always challenging and invigorating. and that's with my being PISSED at the way things have been going here, too.

(9,115 posts)every chance they get. And there is only a very small group of rightie members on that site who won't automatically vote against their opposition to get you hidden or suspended.
The konfed flag icon is not made available by the site, people insert their own images for icons, gab.

There are good reasons I didn't register over at Discussionist. I've been on mixed boards before. They just don't work.

I still check in and read some posts over there and lately it's really turned into a site inhabited by a ton of racists. I'm glad I quit posting when I did. I wonder how much revenue that site provides to management here. Seems to be nothing but a cesspool these days and probably should be shut down by admin.

Leith
(7,813 posts)You can mix it up with the reichwingers, but you really have to watch what you say. They will swarm and vote to hide liberals on the slightest - or no - provocation, but cons get away with really vile shit. For example, this didn't even get an alert.
Being accused of racism, no matter how gently, will raise their bile. A couple of your posts had no chance of getting past them. They are poor, delicate dears who love throwing feces and whine like tired'n'hungry babies if you post anything they don't like:
gun regulations
rightwing racism
HRC not guilty
the confederacy not being utopia
Trump is a nutjob con artist
and the list goes on and on.

(27,995 posts)I has gotten so much worse. The misogynistic, racist, bigoted posts are stunning. I go over there and look around hoping to occasionally get on a jury.
beaglelover
(3,488 posts)Like that Banshee idiot, Doctor_R, and Gamle-ged! Christ, don't they have anything better to do with their time? I believe most of the con posters on DI are fat, white retired guys, so maybe they don't have any hobbies and like to get their rocks off posting at DI. The 3 I listed are even there when I check in on the weekends, very strange.
DesertRat
(27,995 posts)I've noticed that most are obsessed with DU. I figure they are tombstoned members.

(28,795 posts)another, from edermac, I think, were both from DI Central, based on the header. haaaaa
I was just about to tell the ede....that
they could go shave with a grater, and that their name should be Deliverance International, or something starting with Deliverance
let's see; Deliverance, what? imbecility, inhabitors/ance, ipso facto morons? any ideas? I'm definitely going back to tell them how many ways they can stuff it, starting with Potato==>has it come up here that's what they call DT in China? now....DT.
DTs? some sort of connection could be made there, too.

(65,616 posts)I always net 2 or 3 of their top stormfront posters getting timeouts too...so it is a net gain in my book.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)too funny....were you on that thread I posted on? seems I remember a rex?
seriously, though. Why does that place exist? they don't have any ads, do they? at least compared to here. that tells you something right there, cause after not being able to answer my question above, it always devolves to the cake, yes?
Rex
(65,616 posts)The GOPers there are more thin skinned then Trump! I won't back down to their bullshit, so I got shitcanned fast. Thankfully they are so stupid as to fall for my bait and get shitcanned just as fast. I try to take down the biggest assholes on that site.
SO far it has worked like a charm.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)that it's been made clear what a morass that place is.

Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)my next offering over there? I had a list of topics, chief amongst them was their aggressive ignorance, along with flaming, rampant, racism, unquestioning fealty to authoritarian rote boilerplate pseudologic....not what I, uh, wrote, but some thing along those lines, candy-ass baby pants who squeal immediately to mommy when their tender sensibilities are upset
oh yeah....they're so delusional, incapable of accepting any sort of empirical data that contradict their benighted world view that the casual observer would deem them as clearly incapable of surviving outside their carefully constructed version of reality.
stuff like that....
HELP!
jimlup
(7,968 posts)I've been suspended a couple of times for calling out right-wingers. I've never had a jury decision there go in my favor. And my flagged posts are at least borderline. The juries are right-wing biased by a great amount. Generally, the site has been overwhelmed by right-wingers since the Trump phenomena began.
Personally, I think Skinner et al. should just close the site. It was a nice idea but the right-wing trolls have ruined that as you would totally expect.

Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)suggestion from another thread here. only reason.
he said it was more free wheeling than DU....free-wheeling if you're a credulous, racist, wafflepuddle only. dunno if you've read this thread, but I think I linked to the DI discussion from which I was bounced. that was the only one upon which I commented, and that was more than enough to realize what a complete waste of time it was. I may or may go back to answer the geebs over there, but I don't know if it's worth the effort.
