D.I. is like a PACK OF WOLVES!

[warrprayer]

Went there to check it out -

Those people are NUTS!

There are all kinds of people there, and they just think they can get away with saying
ANYTHING THEY WANT!!!

How crazy is THAT!?!

[Rex]

1. It is a fun house, every other week is Obama Coming for the Gunz Rapture!

They are cray cray to the 10th power.

[warrprayer]

6. They actually post pictures

Of their own guns on there!

[Rex]

8. They are proud of their kill toys!

Half of them were openly rooting for HRC to have some kind of terminal illness. You could almost hear the disappointment when it was discovered she had pneumonia.

You want to see what a Trump supporter is like, go over to DI and read some of their threads...total sickness.

[warrprayer]

14. I live in a rural area in Pa.

And there are lots of Trump signs, but no Hillary signs at all.

I attribute this to those who live out here realizing that some Trump supporters are stupid and vicious enough to retaliate for the Hillary signs by destroying property or worse.

It doesn't mean there is no Hillary support out here.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

16. I went there once and saw pictures of their guns.

I had to spend the next three days heavily medicated. I can’t believe they do that AND they say whatever they want!!!

Just thinking about it triggers me fucking stupid.

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. Except, of course, you support Trump over there; we know you are a right wing gun nut

so it seems pointless you trolling DU like this, Jardinier.

Here's the proof:

Jardinier (2,762 posts)

Cruz didn't support Trump and for Democrats such as myself and my family/friends who support Trump
THIS IS A GOOD THING! We don't like Lyin' Ted.

Fuck Ted and Hillary.

26. DU, like the left, is full of filthy racists.

They want to keep the black man on their plantation. They don't see the black man as a free thinking, intelligent human-being. They see him as their slave still, to be totally controlled and told what to do and what to think.

They are filthy racists. I hate them.

18. I have posted much worse things and never been banned.

I do have three posts hidden right now, which is a record for me. Two were hidden for being very rude to 'Remain’ posters after the Brexit passed. What can I say, I was drunk with British glory. I had a OP hidden for being full of RW talking points, which it was. Posting a link to ‘Info Wars’ went too far for them, among other things, lol.

The judge hasn't put on his black cap for me yet because I’m a star poster and been there since 2001. I was one of the people who saw Skinner and Co standing there with their banner. I can’t go there very often because it’s bad for my health.

Those 3 hides being:

Go back to your fellow Trump and gun lovers.

[demmiblue]

21. My, my, my...

good sleuthing!

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. Oh wow! That's disgusting. So the poster's "star status" protects him here?

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

37. Whoops.

[Judi Lynn]

41. Repulsive. He should devote all his attention to posting among people fellow sociopaths.

What kind of person insinuates himself into a place where he knows his opinion isn't wanted?

Glad you dug this item out from under his protective rock. It really saves time if one recognizes the clown by name and avoids reading his posts in the future.

[warrprayer]

43. You must spend

Quite a bit of time on D.I..

That aside, your case does seem airtight.

[DLevine]

52. Ugh, that is disgusting.

Any Trump worshippers lurking here should find a new home.

[SwankyXomb]

83. Plenty of DUplorables unfortunately

Hiding their Red Hats behind high post counts.

[Warren DeMontague]

53. Hot damn.

In the words of Darth Vader "impressive"

[Kali]

69. oh my!

DI's Jardinier is quite a bigot.

ah, the ethics of some people...

[LuvNewcastle]

75. Well now.

[Maru Kitteh]

85. Nice work there! I C&Pd in case something happens to your post

So it can be reposted, for the greater good of the community.

[warrprayer]

31. What makes them think

They have the right to make us look at their guns, and worse yet, BRAG about whose gun is bigger and shoots farther?
This must be stopped!

[cwydro]

60. Odd. Who is "making" you look at them?

I've never gone over to even look at the place.

Always find it amusing when DUers have to bring the filth of some other site over here.

[warrprayer]

61. The purity of DU

must not be defiled with the filth of other sites!
I couldn't agree more!

[cwydro]

62. Pretty obvious, dude.

Seriously.

[warrprayer]

63. ...

[Maru Kitteh]

86. A truly sad number of deplorables are consumed by their obsession with DU

It's too pathetic over there to be entertaining for any length of time.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. DI? nt

[demmiblue]

3. Discussionist, I assume. n/t

[liberal N proud]

36. I am clueless as well

Have not learned what to read minds through the Internet. It's hard enough when they are on TV.

[NightWatcher]

4. Whoever started and owns that site should be dragged out into the street and....

[warrprayer]

5. What sort of lunatic

Could concieve of such a monstrosity!

[Jeff Murdoch]

10. That would be the owner of this site.

[warrprayer]

13. ...

[Boudica the Lyoness]

17. Dick Cheney?

[warrprayer]

32. Stephen Colbert?

I went to a religious seminar and the Dominican Priest sounded just like him. Even sang just like him.

[Blue_Tires]

7. I think I glanced at it once when it was first launched

and haven't been back since...

Don't know why anyone bothers with it; if anyone is really eager to butt heads with the worst the alt-Right and alt-Left and everything else in-between has to offer, might I suggest Twitter/Facebook...

[warrprayer]

12. D.I is like...

[Jeff Murdoch]

22. More like..

poo flinging wars in the primate house.

[warrprayer]

33. Thank GOD

We don't do that here!

[Kali]

70. ...

[warrprayer]

73. ...

[Ohioblue22]

9. A disgusting pack of assholes

[warrprayer]

11. Unwashed assholes

From the asshole of the universe!

[11 Bravo]

15. Naah, wolves are actually smart.

DI is host to a couple of reasonably principled conservatives, and a host of some of the dumbest mother-fuckers you will ever encounter on the internet. I mean, we're talking dipshits who make even Jim Hoft appear erudite. (I would name a few names, but even recognizing the goofy and desperate little assholes seems to validate their existence; and at that point, they tend to cackle, yell "MOM, MEAT LOAF", and continue on their merry way. I think their mommies need a break, so fuck 'em.)

[warrprayer]

34. That must make

For a rather extensive ignore list!

[HughBeaumont]

18. You couldn't pay me to be a member of that AnCap hog waller.

You cannot sneeze in a Discussionist thread without hitting hilarious defenses of failed and discredited 1%er friendly policies, deflection, projection, victim-blaming, victim-denying, logical fallacies, red-baiting, revisionist history, blatant sexism, blatant racism and insufferable assholery.

That site's an exhibit of The Balance Fallacy, which assumes that both sides of an argument have equal value regardless of merit. Sometimes, stupid is just stupid, yo.

[warrprayer]

35. The balance fallacy

Wasn't that why Bill Clinton let the FCC eliminate the equal time rule?

He did later say he screwed up as it opened the door for Faux news.

I don't follow that rule. If I think someone is totally full of it, I tell them so.

[Shrike47]

76. The equal time rule is still in effect. The fairness doctrine was eliminated in 1987.

I can't see that either had anything to do with Bill Clinton.

And the exceptions to the equal time rule are ridiculous in the time of Trump.

[warrprayer]

77. Thank you

I was thinking of the fairness doctrine.

[warrprayer]

79. Bill Clinton

The reason I mentioned Bill is I seem to recall an interview where he said the elimination of the fairness doctrine allowed for the creation of Fox and led to the polarization we have been living in since.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. After the first month, the only appeal that placed retained was the folks here who thought they

could order "good DU members" not to post over there while howling about "shut it dowwwwwwwwnnnnn!"

Like Maya Angelou, you want me to do something, tell me I can't do it.

But even that limited entertainment value dried up quickly.

[warrprayer]

38. I think

There are still a few "good" D.U. members there.

[Warren DeMontague]

42. Oh, I wasn't saying there weren't. Or aren't.

I'm just saying for me, it lost what 'fun' it had, quickly.

I have no desire to have the same arguments over and over with barely-sentient right wingers. It gets repetitive.

For those who have the stomach for it, I salute them.

[warrprayer]

44. I understand perfectly.

People who spam the board with partisan hit pieces, and have nothing to say to anyone except to attack them if they disagree, go to ignore quickly.

[Wounded Bear]

23. I actually joined for a while...

not a paying member, of course, but I signed up and even posted a few times.

Then I had a catastophic system crash and lost most of my passwords and auto-enter priveleges. DI was one I didn't re-open.

[warrprayer]

39. I had weird things happen there

I met some guy who claimed to be Nigerian royalty...

[beaglelover]

24. I used to post there but stopped a few months ago.

It got really boring after a while. The same 6 cons arguing with the same 6 dems. There's probably about 50 active users there at most. And they tolerate 9/11 conspiracy theorists over there. Talk about cray cray!!!

[pintobean]

25. You got canned.

[beaglelover]

26. Do you ever tire of being wrong??

Go back to the cesspool Kid!!

[pintobean]

27. Not wrong, not a kid.

You got canned, which cleaned things up a bit.

[beaglelover]

29. Believe what you want Kid.

I don't give one damn what you think.

[pintobean]

30. Right. That's why you keep replying.

Vanessa wasn't terribly bright.

[warrprayer]

40. Everybody here...

[Skittles]

49. I believe you got canned

I believe in pintobean; yes INDEED

[beaglelover]

59. And you are?????????????

[warrprayer]

74. You need to go to D.I.

And kick their ass!

[Skittles]

78. oh fuck that cesspool

waste of ass kicking time!

[warrprayer]

80. Not worth

Getting your ass kicking boots dirty!

[CreekDog]

45. Hmm

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4758811

[warrprayer]

47. Kumbaya

[pintobean]

48. That must have left a mark.

Two and a half years ago.

[lumberjack_jeff]

68. Life became easier once he digitized the dossiers that he maintains on us.

It was becoming burdensome to lug all those file folders around.

[MrScorpio]

50. Yep, they are special, aren't they? nt

[warrprayer]

55. Yes

Very special....

[NanceGreggs]

51. It's a lot like JPR ...

... only not anywhere near as funny.

[warrprayer]

54. You'll always know "What's for Supper" over there..

They have the sweetest food lady!

[LWolf]

56. Free speech.

It's dangerous.

[DLevine]

57. Yes, it can be dangerous.

Fortunately, free speech includes the right to call out racists, misogynists, homophobes, and other hate-mongerers.

[LWolf]

58. It does.

In our modern world, free speech is often celebrated as a right to leave civility behind, to express ourselves as rudely as we like; a feel-good rant, or a venting of rage.

Personally, I prefer free speech with a dressing of civility.

And, of course, DU is not a free speech zone. Two ends of the spectrum: a forum where almost anything goes, with the anonymity that releases the inhibitions of civility, and a forum where discussion is tightly regulated into allowed partisanship.

[warrprayer]

67. ...

[LWolf]

81. In America,

free speech happens in caged zones to protect the public. It's a professional mud-slinging event.

Our dominant culture apparently can't find a way to speak their minds with civility, OR to hear something they disagree with without having a meltdown.

[warrprayer]

87. ...

[LWolf]

89. That is way too present,

way too real. Why do the masses allow this? Maybe the era of cellphone cameras will help keep it above ground and visible; no deniability.

[warrprayer]

90. I believe it is a statue

In Selma, Alabama, to commemerate attacks on civil rights marchers in the mid 1960's.

For progress to be made in civil rights, laws made by oppressors to keep black people from demonstrating in public had to be broken.

If those black people had allowed themselves to be penned in "free speech zones", their message would never have been heard.

And yes, I agree the cellphone camera has done much to bring abuses to the attention of the public.

[warrprayer]

64. Best post

Of the entire thread.



That, in a nutshell, is my entire intent of posting this op - to get someone to say what you just said so simply and eloquently.

[DLevine]

65. Thank you! nt

[kcr]

71. I did not get that from your OP and the rest of this thread.

I've been getting a Let's-bring-the-DI-Free-Speech-Awesome-Over-To-This-DU-Censorship-Hellhole vibe. But it's hard to read sarcasm on the internet.

[warrprayer]

72. ...

[cwydro]

82. lol.

Well said.

Now trashing this.

[warrprayer]

66. ...

"Motorpsycho Nightmare"...

[SwankyXomb]

84. It's a full-on festering shithole.

And Skinner thanks you for the clicks.

[warrprayer]

88. There are some very nice people there.

Unless you are such a narcissist that when you discuss something with someone, you aren't really trying to see the other persons point of view, but rather are trying to polish them with abrasive words into a mirror to see a perfect reflection of yourself.

[Bonx]

91. It's like an inbred pack of wolves - not enough DNA. A poor mans Reddit.

[warrprayer]

92. It has been growing steadily

Usually has big upswing in posts when major events occur.

[Fluke a Snooker]

93. It's sites like that that give First Amendment protections a bad name n/t
