[trueblue2007]

2. HUH?

[Steeler1623]

3. I'm going too, and don't try to stop me. Goodbye FOREVERRRRR!

[XemaSab]

4. See ya.

n/t

[TwilightGardener]

5. Well, OK. You were one of the more rational ones, hate to see ya go--

you make some worthy and challenging arguments. I'll miss ya.

[wndycty]

6. Buh-bye

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

[Saturday]

7. (((Bigtree))) Don't leave me alone here with the children *she screamed*

LOL

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Again you're fucking leaving?

Didn't we just go through this last week with you?

17. with that post you comfort yourself that someone else is the problem

while using the terms "diapers" and "feces"

:rofl:

oh how I wish I could be as circumspect as yourself!

:rofl:

[LittleClarkie]

43. Sorta passive/agressive innit

The other side is the problem, so I am justified in heaping abuse upon them. In self-defense of course.

Bah.

[JVS]

89. What did I miss? PM me

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

99. The secret of everlasting life.

*PM* not working...Goddamnit!

[cali]

21. what a stupid remark

what a false remark. Individuals from both sidew fling shit, and only the complete morons don't recognize that, dear.

[LittleClarkie]

62. As if talking about "Obamababies" and diapers made the poster any better

It's quite passive aggressive, really. The insults thrown are always in self defense.

I can still remember when I was unaffiliated and both sides annoyed the shit out of me. Now I can only see the Obama abuse, but that's just my perception, not reality. I'm seeing things through a filter now.

I'm sure the board hasn't changed. It's still both sides.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

35. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

Look, I don't care that your comments were likely inappropriate, and of course won't sit right with the Obama side etc etc. Taken on their own, with a lighthearted mindset, they were pretty fucking funny.

:rofl:

[Saturday]

45. "Lighthearted" is my MO regarding Obama supporters too.

It works. :rofl:

[LittleClarkie]

38. Thank you for adding to the civility of the board

If anything, it's both sides, not just one.

[spoony]

10. Hope you're just talking about GDP

No one should leave DU over this forum. It'll be over soon.

[SoonerPride]

11. If a bigtree falls in the forest does it make a sound?

Yes!


waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. This big tree managed to fall TWICE, which is no small feat!

:rofl:

[Greyskye]

24. I didn't hear the tree fall the first time

I guess it really is silent. Who'd of thunk it? :shrug:

[KoKo]

98. You are "SO COOL" in your "Unenlightenment" ...but SO COOL!

:rofl:

[alcibiades_mystery]

107. Why thank you

It's not often somebody I don't know from Adam compliments me sarcastically in a thoroughly nonsensical way.

Cheers, playa.

[scheming daemons]

12. More faux outrage..... and they say that Obama has a glass jaw....

...

[Alter Ego]

14. Hello hello!

You say goodbye, and I say hello.

[dchill]

25. I can stay till it's time to go.

[thevoiceofreason]

15. Don't go. You are a Hillary fan I really like.

[anamandujano]

18. I'll be joining you shortly. Let's meet at Bartcop.

This place sucks so bad. Let them continue their circle jerk. Skinner is letting his website get trashed by these morons.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. That's all I have to say to Skinner.

[Arkansas Granny]

19. bigtree, please consider taking a break and not leaving us.

There are some here, me included, who have enjoyed your posts and your insight.

[Exilednight]

20. How many goodbye threads are you going to have? You're only limited to 3 a day. n/t

[rucky]

39. You haven't heard about the Post Genie, yet, have you?

You can wish for another post. The catch is, you have to post your wish in a separate thread, and then maybe or maybe not it'll be granted.

[DemGa]

22. Take care--some here are delirious with Hillary hate

I've never seen anything like it.

This Obamanation can not end well.

[Fluffdaddy]

23. Why you leaving? Lets talk.

[Vilis Veritas]

26. LOL

Here, I found something that can protect you from the effects of posts in GD-P...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. See you tomorrow.

[alcibiades_mystery]

28. ROFL

Best response of the thread.

[izzybeans]

29. Come back for the generals we will all need each other.

Please.

[greguganus]

30. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

NOT!

[joeybee12]

31. I agree...it's pointless to remain in GDP...the ignorance and self-rigthousness

of OBama supporters will drive me to McCain soon.

[SoonerPride]

32. Shows how much of a real Democrat you were to begin with.

Huh.

It's either my gal or i'm gonna go vote for 100 more years of war!

OK.

Fine.

Bye.

[redqueen]

34. What has become of this place...

it's unreal.

[charlie]

76. Nevermind that Real Democrat stuff

Anyone who'd vote for McCain is a petulant dick. I wouldn't vote for McCain if Clinton stole my car and Obama used it to run over my dog. I'm not interested in wrecking the whole goddamn country because I feel peevish.

[Duncan]

95. Me thinks DU is overrun by trolls.

[LittleClarkie]

33. I suppose you think the moderators were adding to the abuse as well

and I see that your thread was locked for the exact same reason I said.

If that's all it takes, then perhaps you really do have to thin a skin to deal with this place during primary time.

Me, I just quietly stay away and come back when I feel like it, as opposed to the dramatic exit. Makes things a lot less awkward when you feel like wandering back in.

[rodeodance]

68. clarkie--we all deal with this cruelity in different ways. calling

someone thin skinned when they are down is not what i expected from you.

[LittleClarkie]

74. I pointed out in the OP's previous thread that starting a new thread about a flame war

probably wasn't the best course of action.

The OP then pm'ed me and thanked me for adding to the abuse.

If that's what the OP considers abuse, then I consider that thin skinned.

Then the mods locked the thread for the exact reason I said there was a problem with the thread. And the then bigtree said goodbye.

If having the rules enforced upon one's thread is enough to have that person say goodbye, then I consider that thin skinned.

I don't care about either side as much as I care about keeping some semblance of civility around here, and I will hold BOTH sides accountable in that endeavor, and alert on them to boot.

And as for expecting things from people, I never expected you to start name calling or add to the incivility around here either. Obamababies, pillows to cry on and whatnot. If only you were as concerned with what your fellow Hillary supporters do as you are in what Obama supporters do.

[rodeodance]

78. i do not know about the pm. i was only referring to some of the terrible

comments she got.

i am upset. didn't mean to pile on you alone. sorry.

[LittleClarkie]

83. Understandable

This place is a shithole during primary season. Welcome to Thunderdome.

That's why I stay away most days.

But if I added to the mess, I'm sorry as well.

[rodeodance]

100. thanks cheezhead.

[BuyingThyme]

36. I'll bet $10 you're reading this right now.

[rucky]

42. He's not going to respond...

so you need to post your account number if you wanna collect.

heh.

[grantcart]

49. I'll take that - he's too busy setting up his new account

[Armstead]

53. Largetree

[BuyingThyme]

54. S/he'll be back.

I hope.

Without having people to bump heads with, there's really little incentive to hang out here.

I don't have any specific recollections of bumping heads with this poster, but I know it's happened at least a few times. S/he won't be able to stay away.

[grantcart]

80. they are especially useful when you have a great thread that hasn't caught on and they keep

coming back arguing something completely idiotic and kicking your thread every two minutes.

[dionysus]

57. ROFL

[cbayer]

37. I am so, so sorry for what happened to you today.

It was shameful.

[rodeodance]

44. what happened. can you say?--I am really upset--I just read this post

[Saturday]

50. I didn't see it either. I'd like to know too. nt

[redqueen]

56. Here ya go.

[cbayer]

60. He posted an entirely postive piece about a Clinton campaign stop

And was viciously attacked. It was ugly and uncalled for.

He deleted the text, left the pix up.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5041733

[rodeodance]

67. I just got a pm from her--my gawd. This place is so cruel. She has posted

many many positive threads of Hillary on the trail. There is absolutely no reason for people to poop on this. It is selfish. Dammm

[LittleClarkie]

58. Positive thread turned to crap, flames ensued, OP posted a thread about the thread

and since it was a call out and a thread about a flame war, it was locked.

Thus followed "Bye"

I've had positive threads go to shit too, but I'm still here.

When this place gets to be too much, you just need to split for a while. Never been much on GBCW threads, myself.

[redqueen]

59. See post 60. (nt)

[Not the Only One]

40. Later, Gator.

huh?

[rodeodance]

41. OMG. no no no

[dionysus]

46. CYA!!! and what does he get for playing...

[grantcart]

47. promises promises

[Alexander]

48. Good riddance.

[Barack_America]

51. Now THAT is an exit I respect.

No "goodbye cruel world, here are the 10 reasons you're losing me"...followed by twenty subsequent "no really, I must" posts milking the "please don't go" sentiment.

Simply..."I'm out". And that's it.

Well played.

[AlCzervik]

52. "I'm leaving du" 77,000 hits, i love that search box.

[Adelante]

63. Oh, look at that!

Thanks :)

[AlCzervik]

64. huh right? Freaking awesome.

[Saturday]

55. You Obama supporters are really kind people.

NOT. How ugly the replies have been to this.

[SoonerPride]

61. I said "bye " on the other "goodbye" thread.

How many times does someone need to say Adios?

[Saturday]

66. You don't need to be cruel. What thread? nt

[SoonerPride]

73. There was already another bigtee says bye thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5042278

[book_worm]

65. Just take a time out and come back

It's tough for both camps.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

69. no no no bigtree I will miss you....sigh

but I understand completely

:hi:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Armstead]

70. As one of the offending responders I'll say this

Perhaps it was not good taste to muddy up what was intended to be a positive informative thread.

However, the Clinton campaign has been stirring up to pot so much with divisive and negative talk about Obama that it is really difficult for some of us to exercise our better judgement.

In light of the attempts to marginalize Obama as out of the mainstream of white America, a thread entitled "I'm One of You" was bound to get criticized.

[BuyingThyme]

71. Kinda like the Chimp or the Dick hanging a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown.

I've enjoyed your posts, and as far as I've seen, you've always been respectful. Some people here are idiots.

110. that must be why his post got deleted, too much wisdom.

[theredpen]

111. It's all part of a vast anti-wisdom conspiracy

[whatchamacallit]

84. Sorry to see you go bigtree

We may not agree on much, but I appreciate that most of your posts were positive attempts to build up and celebrate your candidate, unlike many on both sides who mostly just wanna rip somebody a new hole (yes, I'm one of those). Anyway, good luck to you.

[babylonsister]

85. Don't go, bigtree.

We've had our differences, but please consider returning after these bloody primaries are over with.
:hug:

[mmonk]

86. Ah geez, I step away from here and you pull a me.

Stay bigtree. You know I'm serious.

[InsultComicDog]

87. I don't know why you say goodbye I say Hello

Hello Hello...

[usrbs]

88. I'm so sorry. You'll be missed. Come back soon.

I looked forward to your posts, and this side needs all the help it can get.

[NJSecularist]

90. Please reconsider

:sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[Perry Logan]

91. It may mean he's put us all on ignore.

If this is true, he is still here, but he can't see any of us. To Bigtree, there is no one at DU but him--like an episode of "The Twilight Zone."

[tammywammy]

92. Bye

[NDambi]

93. Buh bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sellitman]

94. Sorry to see you go.

I have left for weeks and weeks. I hope you can return too.

DU Vacation is needed even when it isn't Primary Time.

[Occam Bandage]

96. You are the weakest link.

[rodeodance]

101. hit while she is down. typical

97. What we LOSE.....diminishes Us...forever...........

106. Must be getting hot in here, what with having such a shitty candidate to support and all. Bye.

[BootinUp]

108. bigtree

please stop in occasionally, I presume the atmosphere will be better about a month after Hillary is declared the nominee. I will miss your posts.

[bonito]

109. Hang around, the worst is everybody puts you on ignore

It can be blissful, just kidding,:freak: :shrug:
