Looks like Discussionist has sent Agent Smith in to do their bidding.

First off---what a bunch of cowards these little shit turds are.

I posted a thread today about a dinner party I had with a couple of wingers and how I basically kicked their butts in a debate.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7422543

Looks like some in Discussionist didn't like that and so they started a thread to diss old trumad.

As you can see---it's full of the typical winger horseshit that you'd see at Free Republic, the Conservative Cave---and now Discussionist.

http://www.discussionist.com/1015649057

So guess who shows up in my dinner thread?

A member of Discussionist telling me to come over to Discussionist and debate real Right Wingers---including himself.

Nah---they can come here and counter what I said at my dinner party.

You think they'll do it?

he knew trumad was going to start that thread when he signed up, as you said?

Anyway, it's moot. he is now Name Removed. That'll teach those suckers not to come over here and harass long time members.

type your own name in the search box, what comes up! O.o"..there was a whole tread about me, I wasn't aware of. I am starting to feel like a celebrity

They said I was a flirt...really? O.o...I don't think I have ever flirted with anyone on DU, ever, and the fact I am young and hang out on DU when, I should be... somewhere else? That I spend too much time here?

well, its not like I haven't had a stalker before, scribbling down everything I say, in order to throw it back at me some day. baaaka doji.. manuke! they can just go look that up.

Have you ever seen me flirt on DU? I never recall doing that, nor do I do it on line..what's the point really. I don't get his animosity towards me. He calls me fake, and says he has tons of evidence. He says I should have been MIRTED.. for what? For presenting information that I have come across or found interesting? He said i act like a shut in and that I should be going to real parties, and that I am always showing off my hot Asian friends.. I wasn't aware I had hot Asian friends,...if I did, I would probably be out...but I never was much of a party girl, I have always had strict Asian parents, but i am on my own now..so I prefer to stay home than hanging out in a stinky bar, getting my brain cells scrambled on Vodka tonics or what ever people drink these days.

Seems to me, he has a lot of time on his hands to sit around and complain about DUers...sounds like sour grapes to me.

Your posts are very straightforward, often light-hearted and joyful.

Trolls be trolling.

At least you can get rid of them at DU. And you can report them elsewhere.

I hope we don't let creeps ruin the internet, try as they will.

You should see President Obama and Hillary comments on their social media!

There is a huge difference between them and I. They are public figures. If you are someone of importance and a public figure, you have to have a thick skin. Why should a normal, unimportant regular person have to put up with stuff made up on the spot. Obviously he is a stalker, and has researched my postings on DU.

I am not a Celebrity making 50 million a year. I am not some swim suit model, nor professional athlete that makes mistakes while being paid those big bucks. So to make himself bigger and better, he has to rise up to put other people down. He obviously has poor self esteem, that he has to knock down someone he may thinks he knows, but doesn't. And, he targets my friend as well.

People like that you can only feel sorry for. They have are the ones who complain about being "bored" and so in order to entertain themselves, they climb up on an pedestal and see who they can crap on from above. They don't add anything positive to the conversation but add to the negative..and it makes their poor sorry lives better, or so they think. You can only shake your head at them, and wonder when someone will hold up a mirror in front of their face, and say, "what goes around, comes around."

Is it a conservative spin-off? The quick skim I saw of it made it seem politically mixed, but I didn't look too in-depth.

it is an open forum - any political stripe is welcome.

it is populated by a fairly diverse group - DUers, ex-DUers, libertarians, leftists, moderates and conservatives from various sites and random trolls like anywhere. it can be fun to spar over there, and some actual discussion occasionally happens. it has the same jury system as here but does not have any hosts or moderators other than the owners themselves.

I don't really feel like essay trading with their anarcho-crapitalist know-nothings.

Or their people who support supply-side, a proven failure.

Or the Austrian Schooler Von Mises kooks.

Or their people who assert up and down that a LEFTward economic movement over the past 34 years caused our present problems.

It's giving failure, fairy tale nonsense and crank magnetism a greater platform than it deserves.

I can step over troglodytes and racists that crawled out of a sewer.

It's the people that pray to Teh Blessed Sacred Temple of Teh Holy Free Marketz and the Dunning Krugertarians I can't stand in the least.

folks on being intelligent and interesting in their views.

And it all went down the damn hill from there.

What is wrong with just saying no to identity politics these days? I'm a ___ so I can't talk to ____?

Good Lord, that is something you learn in kindergarten - not everyone is identical to you, nor should they be.

I don't like Bell Peppers - in fact, I ferociously despise them. Does that make me a part of some dark, underworld cult? Am I incapable of having a pleasant conversation with a heretofore unknown bell pepper aficionado?

I just look at this and think, "Damn."
