In reply to the discussion: And they finally outed that scammer OmahaSteve (part 2) [View all]Aerows
(39,961 posts)I'm stating it flat out.
That is a very specific avatar that is used to mock BMUS. It's well known that Bains has issues with BMUS. Funny it has never showed up anywhere else (and since you understand whois, you can verify that it is only showing up in places where DUers congregate - if by chance you do not know how, I can help you).
For that to suddenly show up at a site that parodies DU members, specifically Bernie Sanders supporters to a degree that someone who is an outsider would probably not grasp, not to mention some other evidence that is laying around, their knowledge of MIRT, and clear knowledge of the hosting process...
If you consider all of that, not to mention everything that went on with the HCS site and another site hosted by a DUer that they also were idiotic enough to use their DU names on... If you consider all of that coincidence?
To paraphrase:
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is deliberate
Sorry, my friend. I absolutely do not buy that this is a site created by anyone other than the specific subset of DUers that have already been implicated, and the others that also will be.
I don't like mean people, either. I am unphased by attacks directed at me, because I don't give a shit. When they start aiming at the memory of Jackpine Radical, people like Omaha Steve who has contributed so much to our site and California Peggy who has never said a cross word to anyone on DU, I do give a shit.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and a site that uses avatars specifically to mock African Americans and Jews is a site that really needs some sunlight.
Take that as you will.
