Brilliant idea - attract all the trolls so they leave DU alone. One can hope...

(21,020 posts)any trolls over there, but then, I've mostly just been having fun in the Fun forum.
One other benefit from having Discussionist will be when someone here invariably wretches about how (*choose your complaint) DU is, and the reply to that can be, "You think this place is bad? Go spend some time on Discussionist and see how good you have it here in comparison".

(33,915 posts)That behavior is too entrenched here to change without admin intervention - which they are consistently retreating from.
I'm hoping that with a fresh start perhaps good behavior will become the norm, rather than the exception that it often feels it is here recently.

(66,075 posts)Once the trolls started showing up, spewing 'libtard' all over the place and calling it civil discourse, I bailed.
to Skinner and the guys for trying. But they have to know by now that right-wing trolls are incapable of rational civil discussion. They are like dogs, only without the intelligence, courage and loyalty. If they can't eat it, they piss and shit all over it. That's how they roll.

City Lights
(25,171 posts)They're spewing nonsense and aren't particularly interested in knowing the truth. Typical Fox Nooze conservatives. They have their own version of the truth and no one can tell them otherwise.

(6,530 posts)you will find some of DU's biggest fans there. Hard to know if they're the "we're so hilaaaarious" type or the "let's harass a dying man on his deathbed" variety, though.
