And their sole purpose (I believe) is to tear us down.

I advocated for chickens to drink more water since that would cause global warming (what?). I admit, I went there, but it was such convoluted bullcrap I couldn't keep track. On thing I'm sure of. Aerows is a lesbian. (I am) She weighs two hundred pounds and is ugly (I weigh 110 as a blond and can disprove that with a single photograph). DU is Wharbarggl.

I'm supposedly a little old lady who lives in Arkansas.

Seriously....I'd just ignore them. As long as you don't post personal, traceable, info here, they can't really hurt you. They have been trash talking C&B for a long time. Sorta sad actually.

My Lord. It IS sad.

I was sent links for posts from a couple of years back (or more) and I know some of them have been DU posters in the past (if not currently as moles) - From what I saw in the past, some were really nice, but others like to pretend that we post elitist recipes but all actually eat ramen noodles, or something like that. Whatever floats their boats.

I really wouldn't give them a second thought.

Now I'll have to construct a whole new online personna.

Of course, I forget things easily because of my medicine, so I won't remember that I busted you by tomorrow! If no one else read the comments, you are probably safe!

as is Acambaros

C'mon, idiots. Don't be a bunch of wimps...

PM me here. I will provide the contact information for the owner, hosting company, registrar, and a sample DMCA form to make them take it down.

But yes, from here forward, they are some fucking nut jobs.

Just sayin'

but if I can't even post in cooking and baking without a right wing nut job stalking me, what gives? What have I done that is so bad that it needs musts intimidating me in cooking and backing?

Every few months, I do a search on my username. I'm not the subject of much discussion among those pusillanimous pisswillies ordinarily, but they found one thread that I started in this group over a year ago worthy of a great deal of discussion.

..so talk about bread...or cakes.

They made fun of my post asking for advice on what was wrong with my 2006 Taurus. Some of the attacks were nuts. One of their posters, however, knew exactly what the issue was. They are an odd mix of folks. Some are hateful; some seem OK; and some are ex-DUers.

My advice is post wishes for a joyous Christmas on their site during the holidays.

Probably not worth our attention.

Aerows, on edit, didn't intend to disregard your comments. Just wanted to encourage members to ignore it all and not play the game.

Maybe because thinking back, a few of my more recent cooking posts have been hilariously stereotypical hippie stuff - lentil chips on the dehydrator, grapes dried on my dashboard. Really it is pretty funny, the moreso because I'm not someone who comes across like that in real life at all.

I see they have their own survivalist forum there with some recipes and off the grid stuff, they even have their own dehydrator thread. We're probably not so far away from each other as we all like to think, in some ways.

It's especially true in my case. I can be very "conservative" on some issues, and extremely "liberal" on others. I can find common ground with just about anyone, unless they just constantly mean spirited.

And I am way more hippie-esque than I probably come across. So you and I balance each other out Hippy-wise!

Most of them are Amber Alert suspects waiting to happen.

PTBBIR - "Amber Alert Suspects waiting to happen"

They are pathetic narcissists with nothing better to do in life than spy on others.

completely and utterly plain sick people.
i was once an early candidate for primitive of the year.

And the cheapskates did not even send a proper certificate, let alone a placard.

"The nuttiest people on the internet gave the "you aren't one of us" award."

Um, yes, thank you very much, I'm pleased to not be one of you!

Listening to the latest brush. This one too close to homes. Editor went there...down from where she lives.

It's based on this thread....

Some CC poster thinks baccala is a modern Italian-American invention--that it's not a dish from Italy itself. Oh shit, I cannot believe the stupid. No seriously....I cannot believe the level of stupid on that thread.

Did no one teach these people history? Salt cod has been a trade item for a thousand years....it was a staple on sailing vessels. The Vikings, the Basques, the Hanseatic League, and the British--all salt cod traders. Italians have been eating salt cod for a millennium.

Five seconds on google....

And apparently, we are too liberal with our tuna-making ways. That's another sad, sad thread.

on "Italianate cuisine."

Okay. When I stop laughing at that, maybe I'll write a post about a hick who doesn't know the difference between architecture and food. Which isn't surprising, since it sounds like shit-on-a-shingle is a delicacy for that one.

By Mark Kurlansky. Highly recommend.

I just finished rereading this old classic--

Most of it didn't even make sense but then again, I don't speak Neanderthal.

Misfits.

A lot of childish person-specific name-calling... using what they apparently consider to be "wit",
but was unsurprisingly just heavy-handed "knee-slapping, har-de-har" humor.
.
.
Pretty much like "So-and-so's a Poopyhead!!!" Which caused a lot of "Poopyhead" echoes.
.
Or "Doodyhead" ("yeah, Doodyhead" and "not just Doodyhead -- but DOODYHEAD-Doodyhead&quot .
.
.
That's FUNNY -- the equating of "Cave" with "basement", because that's EXACTLY the impression
they made upon me.
.
.
Boring. Not worth any more of my time. Now, if they actually get creative... or truly "witty", let
me know.
.
But I'm not holding my breath.
