Meltdown into Madness

[NanceGreggs]

There has been much discussion at DU over the past few months about how posters have gone crazy as a result of their dedication to one candidate or the other.

I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but I have compiled a list of things to watch for whereby we will all know that true insanity has set in …

kpete will post only articles from supermarket tabloids (e.g. ”PROOF Obama Is a Martian”, “Hillary Divorced Bill Years Ago – Present ‘Husband’ is a Look-Alike”, and will argue with anyone on her thread as to the veracity of her post.

Top Ten Conservative Idiots will drop off the Most Viewed list, and will eventually be abandoned due to outcries of unfairness towards John McCain.

As a result of the above, EarlG will be tombstoned.

WillPitt will out himself as a troll who has been on the Republican payroll for years.

H2O Man will start posting absolute gibberish that no one can understand.

Skinner will declare himself as a third party candidate for the presidency, and will run a DU Donation Drive in order to raise money for his campaign.

ALL present Clinton and Obama supporters will switch sides, and spend the next six months vehemently arguing that they never really supported the other candidate. Links to everyone’s previous statements will clog the internetz tubes.

CaliforniaPeggy will be kicked-off the website as a result of her consistent nastiness towards her fellow posters. (She will later re-emerge as PalCeg, which will fool no one.)

MadFloridian will admit that she’s never even been to Florida, no less lived there, and every post she’s made about activities in that state were completely fabricated.

Due to the foul language and personal threats contained in every post about politics, only threads posted in the Cooking & Baking Group will be considered for publication on the Greatest Page.

The Lounge will be completely free of copycat threads.

GD-P, whether classified as Primaries or Politics, will cease to exist, having been replaced with an "I HATE everyone who doesn’t support ________" forum.

The Home Page will be completely empty, because no one has anything to say – about anything, to anybody, ever again. So there.

The Mods will start responding to arguments by immediately TS’ing any poster who hits the Alert button.

Hundreds of individual Ignored lists will contain ‘ignored posters’ in numbers that actually surpass the number of registered DUers.

Several emoticons (e.g. :eyes: :puke: :crazy: :wtf: :boring: :spank: :grr:) will no longer be visible when posted, due to having faded from over-use.

Dozens of DUers will attempt to 'gaslight' others by changing their sig-line to Sig lines temporarily turned off due to high volume.

Due to technical difficulties, the entire DU Website will go down for three days – and people will continue trying to post on the Server Not Found page.

The Reply button will be replaced with an Oh, yeah, F&*k YOU!!! button.

Like I said, we’re not quite there … yet.

9. DU Is Having A Fund Raiser May I Donate In Your Name?

[NanceGreggs]

14. Thank you for the thought, Binka!

Could I ask you to search for a DUer who doesn't have a star, and donate in their name instead? There are many posters who can't afford a donation, but truly deserve a star.

I will still consider it to have been a donation in my honour - and it is an honour indeed!)

[Binka]

26. Nance I Was Talking To Sudopod He/She Has Their Star Now

36. But will DU rise again after being down for three days, and will we

start a new religion over it?

Will there be tithing?

Will DU be elibible for "Faith Based Funding"?

Do I have to go through that poisoning, beating, shooting, drowning in a frigid river thing again...it really sucked the first time?

[Spirochete]

Egad, that was funny!

[K Gardner]

[KSinTX]

45. For those of us who haven't been thru a past primary on DU

I think you give us a pretty nice map of the future. Sort of the political equivalent of Burma ---> Myanmar. I said the other night I was looking for your next snip of comedic genius and here it is. Thanks for that

Sign me,
Afraid to insert smiley here

[AtomicKitten]

46. The change would be welcome if only for entertainment purposes.

[KSinTX]

48. Didn't see me up there :)

I stalk the Cooking and Baking thread hoping Emeril will make a guest appearance.

[Kaleko]

50. Nance: "Like I said, we’re not quite there … yet."

Do you realize how many shrinks are frequenting this site and taking notes for further studies?

[foo_bar]

51. the admins respond by repealing DU rules

Highly inflammatory or divisive attacks that echo the tone or substance of our political opponents are not welcome here.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/forums/rules_detailed.html

Then to make matters worse, they give a billion second chances to folks who make Stormfront go "uh, no thanks."

</clearly marked satire in case there's any confusion>

[caseycoon]

52. So are you saying ...

we're still safe for awhile?
We arent all that close to meltdown?
:hide:
COOL! I trust you Nance! :hi:

:rofl:

[Perry Logan]

53. I thought we just sent the crazy people to the Lounge.

[Raven]

54. Finally, a little humor on this site and very good humor at that!

Nance, you are a breath of fresh air!

[H2O Man]

55. Nominated.

As the ear of the elk ceases to seek the heart of the cabbage, so shall the honk of the gander beckon the turtle from its shell.

[rosesaylavee]

59. ...

:rofl:

No that makes too much sense still!

[H2O Man]

60. It is said

of elk feathers as it is said of eyes in oak waters: to pass over the moon is to bring down a rain of egg.

[rosesaylavee]

76. Well on a hot day

that sure would make up a mess of scrambled eggs. :P

Thanks for brightening my morning, Nance!

[FlyingSquirrel]

58. Now there you go, giving people ideas....

"changing their sig-line to Sig lines temporarily turned off due to high volume." That's a pretty good one!

:D

[matt819]

61. You left off the most important

And Nance will mellow out and convert Nance rants to Nance muses, and her posts will be accompanied by pan flute music and the ever so slight aroma of chamomile tea.

[SoxFan]

62. DUzy! DUzy! DUzy!

[Seabiscuit]

63. Most even-handed rant from you in a long time.

[Kittycat]
