Can someone please help me connect the dots?

It can really be frustrating.

1. That's either a starburst or sun, or a dog delivering newpapers....

Prolly a Dalmation...

3. ...

4. A dalmatian, for certain.

I think it used to live with Thomas Kincade.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

This is nasty. It has to do with two other OPs locked as attacks on MFM, a regular member on Du and his dots he uses on his posts. Subtle, but mean.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Sep 27, 2012, 08:36 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Are you kidding me
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm not sure what kind of bickering is going on in the lounge, but this post is fine as it stands. Geez...children.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Thank you for providing a good explanation of who it's supposed to be insulting and why. Connecting the dots in MS Paint makes what I'd assume was a star/sun if I didn't know it was an insult. Knowing it's an insult, I'm guessing it's supposed to be a sphincter.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Too subtle to be offensive.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

6. I'm not sure if this is fake or real.

It's hard to tell these days!

7. Um...I'm confused too.

While there are consistent allegations of an anti-MFM clique...this is the first time I'm hearing your name in connection with it.

8. Rebuttal.

This is all getting fucking silly...people should be able...

post dots without being accused of being part of a secret cabal discriminating against other posters.

This has gone past the "point" of absurdity. Beyond horizons of fucking utter pathetic ridiculousness.

I think there are two groups of people who need to step away from their keyboards and rediscover what fresh-air and sunlight are like:
-MFM's argent defenders who see persecution of him everywhere.
-MFM's implacable critics who get that offended over punctuation.

9. I've been on and off lately so I don't know the whole MFM story, but I like his posts.

Those who don't like his posts, that is why DU made the ignore feature. I thought DUers had enough common sense to know that.

10. Sadly, common sense ain't all that common.

12. From what I've been able to gather...

you're not doing your job.

For the love of God, if you like his posts, please tell him. In ALL of his threads.

His drama appears to be leaking into other threads, causing more drama; I'm three months away from retirement, and I'm gettin' too old for this shit.

11. It makes a "human exhaust port"
