Do we have a name for someone who only posts HATE threads?
Ya know, they love to throw rocks at hornet nests.

No matter what form of logic, reason, fact, empathy, or insult you toss back - the relentless and constant mission to search and destroy (the other Dem candidate) is that poster's singular purpose on DU.

We have two passionate Democrats that dislike the pukes as much as we do. Neither deserves to be plastered by hate.

Hate will not help us win the GE.

If we don't feed the fire, the hate-filled poster's will eventually move on...

No need for that kind of energy vampire on DU.

I'd much rather hear why you like your candidate, then why you hate mine.


peace~:)

7. No, really.
That's my criteria. And it doesn't matter who you hate either, if the hate is so obvious I can smell it from the kitchen, you're outta here. What's really fun is going back every couple of days and seeing how many of them have been tombstoned. :)

26. Oh! I should try that!
I was all set to clear my ignore list right after Super Tuesday, but decided the rhetoric had only increased--so I left the list alone. Never even occurred to me to check to see who had been banned!

I think, in part, we probably do have an overly enthusiastic crew in here for the Primaries, but I am just not sure that any campaign has the resources to put THAT many people on the same project. I also tend to doubt that any one person has THAT many pseuds on here without the same IP addies showing up and thus running up a red flag for Skinner and Earl (Elad too!)

Seems to me that Hil and Obama both have a much greater need for people on the streets and phones. If there is anything organized I'd think it ia few folks who just get off on being assholes for fun (without profit!)

Never mistake simple assholes for anything organized.

40. Sometimes
I find myself wondering what they're saying, but the curiosity quickly passes.

42. I experienced that curiosity briefly.
Very briefly.

I succumbed once or twice in the very beginning and "unignored" a couple of people just long enough to see what they posted. What I learned only confirmed my wisdom in ignoring them in the first place, and I haven't been tempted by similar curiosity since.

So don't worry. If they were worth ignoring in the first place, they're worth leaving on ignore until we have a nominee.

4. I see nothing wrong with hating those who have since Reagan been hurting the helpless....
the homeless, the vets, the elderly, the working poor, the children, the disabled, the ill, etc. etc. etc. I think their name is GOP.

21. Yea - but that kind of dissing we can all agree too...
I was referring to not eating one of our own.

It is "Democratic" underground after all.

But I'll play roller-ball anytime with the war mongering pukes.

Thanks for the sweet wish, but I already have the bestest heart I could ever want. Sure it has to be Roto-Rootered every couple years, but it's filled with love and it powers the best brain I know. :)

Yeah, "Ignored" is a very good name for the freeper-like hatemongers.

I don't include posters who legitimately disagree on issues, for either candidate.
