That is the last time I will let a name calling of me go by unanswed

Saying I used to be a good guy but now I'm disgusting and despicable from a long time DUer. I let it piss me off for several hours and into this morning. Not one person called them on it and bothered me too.

From now on I will alert a jury on every single one!

OS

[villager]

1. I missed it. But the experience shows the rapid devolution of "Democratic" "Underground..."

Alas.

Take care, OS.

[ananda]

16. Indeed it does!

This site is a sorry shadow of its former self.

[corkhead]

2. Bad thing about the ignore feature on DU is that those of us who would normally come to your defense

probably didn't see the post you are talking about

[Autumn Colors]

4. Yes, exactly ....

That was my first thought, too, since I never saw it and I've been on here a few different times today.

[Omaha Steve]

7. Good point

Thanks.

[redwitch]

23. I have a rather extensive ignore list as well.

It's the only reason I have able to stay on DU. I'm sorry someone was rude to you and I would have done something if I had seen it. Don't let the bastards get you down Steve!

[awoke_in_2003]

25. And if it happened in

the Hiilary group, Bernie group, or GD P then I would have missed it, too

[valerief]

10. Yes. I have over 300 on Ignore. I miss everything. Well, I don't *miss* their shit. I just

don't see it.

[Human101948]

32. Gotta get up to speed...Hillary Group has 750 of us banned...

I am lagging behind at 0.

[KPN]

39. Ditto!

But I'm proud to be banned!

[Blue_In_AK]

11. Yes, I imagine that's true.

I didn't see the post either, but I've been quite liberal with the ignore feature lately. I just finally reached my limit after 12 years, and I feel so much better now.

[MisterP]

3. trust me, they don't know what they're starting

[demmiblue]

5. Name names. I want to know what arsehole said that.

Yes, this is Meta, but I stand with Omaha Steve.

[merrily]

36. Not helping. If he names names, it will be a hide for him, not for you.

[demmiblue]

42. I know... already recieved a pm from him.

I guess I am just frustrated at the atmosphere here.

[merrily]

45. So is he. So are we all. BTW, why mention a pm on the board? If he wanted it public,

it would have been a lot easier for him to reply to you on this thread.

[demmiblue]

55. Huh?

I received the pm after I posted.

And, no, I will not post the contents of the pm in this thread. Obviously.

[merrily]

57. HUH? I did not ask you to post the contents of the PM. Just the opposite.

I suggested you should not even have mentioned it. Please read my post again.

[arcane1]

6. I probably had the asshole on ignore. But now that unlimited hides are possible...

They have certainly kicked things up a notch or two.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. You can still alert on it, though if it's been over 24 hours it will go to the admins

But if it's a long time DUer, the admins would be the ones who decided his/her fate, anyway...

[mopinko]

12. do this steve.

if you post a link we will kick their ass, tho.

[merrily]

48. He risks a hide if he posts a link. Second time on this thread I've seen something like that and

I haven't finished reading it.

[Agnosticsherbet]

9. I don't have anyone on ignore.

I see a lot of personal insults tossed around, and it tends to be the reason for the majority of juries that I serve in.

[misterhighwasted]

13. we'll need a link to help you out.

[frylock]

14. Fuck em, Steve. These are petty, ugly little people.

[Sheepshank]

15. I'd read just today where a Bernie supporter called a Hillary Supporter a Republican

and we shan't even go into what was said to a Hillary Supporter in the Hillary group by a Sanders Supporter...but here it is anyway:

On second thought I take that big FUCK YOU back. I wouldn't fuck you even with someone else's dog's cock. You have proven yourself to be utterly and irretrievably morally repugnant. You have stooped to depths that are lower than whale shit in the fucking Marianas trench. There's a lot of pressure down there for anyone with a shred of fucking decency but once your balls are shriveled to the obvious pinhead size it affects the brain and there's little left than to attempt to smear the shit on the walls when it didn't stick whilst you were flinging it.

[misterhighwasted]

17. And that one survived the Jury.

How much more insulting could anything get.
It was met with recs & laughs too.

[cwydro]

24. Whoa.

That survived a jury?

[awoke_in_2003]

27. Good god. nt

[MerryBlooms]

38. That should have been an automatic ban. The admins claim they see every alert...

that post should have earned a ban. Disgusting post and inexcusable that the admins didn't ban.

[merrily]

49. Which one that pair had dementia? If neither that we know of, it's a false equivalency and not

relevant to this thread.

I've seen juries let a lot of crap about Bernie and his supporters stand, but you haven't mentioned yet if that post got a hide or not.

[Sheepshank]

51. you made it about dementia, not the OP...false equivalency you made it yourself nt

[merrily]

56. False. Also, you should probably read up on what "false equivalency" is because

you've used in a way that makes as much sense as a rabbit with a pancake on its head.

Still haven't mentioned if that post got a hide either.

[lpbk2713]

18. The only reason some are here is to disrupt and annoy.

Consider the source and don't let them win.

[blm]

30. I concur.

Witnessing it every day here.

[SCantiGOP]

19. Can I make one suggestion?

Please quit putting the same post in multiple forums. When I'm looking at the site on my phone there have been times you would have the same post show up in 6 different spots. That is quite annoying to a lot of people, but of course does not warrant or excuse name-calling.

[Eleanors38]

20. Sorry this happened. There are some who think the Gungeon is everywhere.

[Shandris]

21. Yeah, well, I'm not afraid to call you names and if I found out you'd been playing...

...in a mud pile, I'd call you a filthy liberal!

...unless you'd taken a shower first, at which point I'd be forced to call you a clean liberal!

So there! Take that! Harumph!

((Don't let 'em get to ya Steve. Look at beautiful, funny ferret pics instead. ))

[Downwinder]

22. Indicative of how they would govern if elected.

[jillan]

26. One time in 2008 I let another DUer get under my skin. I literally stewed about it for hours. Then

I asked myself why?

Why was I letting someone on an online website get under my skin?
That person doesn't know the first thing about me.
They are nothing to me in my life.
I don't even know their first name.
I put it in perspective.

I took a deep breath, shook off my anger and promised myself that I would never let another poster on DU or any other site get to me ever again.
And I never did again.

Put it in perspective, Steve. Whoever said that to you is a nobody in your life.
Verbally cuss them out, yell at your computer for a minute or two - and then move on.
They are not worth your energy.

[riderinthestorm]

28. You don't deserve this. I'm really sorry they're targeting you for this crap.

Please alert on them!!!

[Human101948]

29. Omaha Steve, you are a cherished part of DU...

To all those petty people, I say FU!

[merrily]

33. +1 What kind of people torment someone who admits he has dementia?

[Human101948]

34. He still has more brainpower in his pinkie...

but you are absolutely correct.

[haikugal]

35. If I say it we know what would happen...we know the type.

[RepubliCON-Watch]

53. People who either are...

Trolls or imbeciles.

[merrily]

31. Disgusting OS. Put them on ignore. I put about 10 on ignore today alone.

Some of them, it felt so good just to click ignore, never mind how great I will feel not to have to waste time reading their one or two line substance free, truth free posts. Please try it. You can always take them off if you miss them.

[Playinghardball]

46. Was I one of the 10?

[merrily]

54. Why in hell would I put you on hide? Sure, that H in your sig always makes me look twice,

but that's not reason enough.

Yet.

[Rex]

37. I just ignore that crap, the people on here that make charts on us with red crayon are all moronic

imbeciles that need to go outside and get some sunshine.

[PatrynXX]

40. hey I was called a Racist the other day

hadn't been called that since I was a kid. Acting like Children wow. Why bother coming here if everyone acts like children. People are gonna deserve the candidate that is selected for them and be merry. Okay leave me out of it and the rest of the party as well. I'll keep voting for Liberals.

[liberal N proud]

41. It's not the DU we grew up with.

Many rules and much etiquette have been lost.

Sorry for your pain, had I seen it I would have alerted. I will alert on the wrong of others well before I do when someone comes after me.

[MerryBlooms]

43. .

[RepubliCON-Watch]

44. Next time we see...

Asses will be handed to, I guarantee!!

[tavernier]

47. Oh will you people get over yourselves!!!

Third graders don't bicker this much!

DAMN I'll be glad when this freaking election is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We embarrass ourselves, almost as much as the lunatic republicans.

I sometimes wonder if Aliens aren't putting something in the water lately.

[KamaAina]

52. "I sometimes wonder if Aliens aren't putting something in the water lately."

That explains it! Rick Snyder must be an alien.

[Jackilope]

50. Grrrrrrr. I stand with OS

Didn't see the post, but want you to know you are one of my favorite posters on DU and I would have alerted or spoken up had I viewed it. Whoever the doofus is, they aren't worth a second thought or time to be upset with.

You are liked and respected Omaha Steve.
