Has the "Numbness" set in, yet with many "Legacy DU'ers?"

[KoKo]

Does anyone know what I mean about this? :shrug:

[kstewart33]

1. Uh, no. nt

[SoCalDem]

3. Pinch me..it's real? numbness... yes

as well as numbness from the virtual poundings from the plethora of net-nannies & "manners" arbiters who sniff out every thread that even remotely tries to inject a little levity...

[TahitiNut]

4. So many hall-monitors, so little time.

:silly:

[SoCalDem]

7. Here's hoping that they find something new to focus on,

or tire of cyber-hyperbolic attacks:)

[QueenOfCalifornia]

56. You are so much

smarter and better than this shit.

It sometimes just isn't the right thing to do - to pick apart someone who, without any doing of their own, is thrust into the spot light like Bristol Palin and her infant.

That teen mother is fucked up and that is not something to make a mockery of. It is not the progressive, kind thing to do.

It is not the DU I like to see.

And I have always liked your posts... this is just over the top.

[KoKo]

11. Nailed it..

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. LOL!!!

Thread Nannies

[cliffordu]

31. ROFL. Nice!!

[DainBramaged]

68. Ain't that the truth

Ooohhh bad words, mean spirt, you can't call that person a dick, they are sensitive, bad Dain bad. :wtf:

[RoyGBiv]

9. I'll second that ...

I want a "lighten up, Francis" smiley.

Just Kidding. :pals:

[SoCalDem]

64. add a litle salt

:rofl:

[DainBramaged]

69. My ignore list is growing again

I thought after the election, it would be unnecessary, but there are SO MANY sensitivity trainers around here it's growing like crazy.

[SoCalDem]

71. I was about to announce an amnesty & let them all out of the cellar

but then I got lazy and left them there..

I only ever put ONE person in ignore before..The loopy canadian girl who always said "vis a vis"..and never made sense in the 4000 threads a night she started..and then I felt guilty and took her off..

I wonder what ever happened to her:)

anyway.. the primaries were so vicious, and ridiculousm I finally had to start ignoring.. and then of course someone went to "that other place" and signed up as SoCalDem, and now google brings up a bunch of absolute SHIT that I would never agree with in a million years..:grr:

I wish I had thought to go there and sign up & then get banned so no one could use my name ...

[JitterbugPerfume]

112. oh! I remember her!

she was nutty as a fruitcake

[SoCalDem]

73. Here's a laugh for a late night.. (an old sig pic I used for a while)

[KoKo]

88. Just don't post that Jesus/Easterbunny thingy....

That in "these times" could cost 'ya. :D

[SoCalDem]

101. I have some REALLLLLLY bad ones now..

They would figure out where I live, and chant bible verses all night long if I ever posted them...

[KoKo]

105. lol's....I'm sure...I've seen some ones in past

that even caused my own liberal hairs to curl worse than they do... :eyes: But, always look for them...even if some are OTT for me. :D

[Renew Deal]

84. I'm happy to be off of it.

Sorry I was mean to you during the primary wars. :pals:

[eleny]

2. I can imagine

Being a 2003 member with my own brand of numbness setting in since the election.

All I can say is that this is really different. But you know they'll be clawing at the gates from day one.

[WCGreen]

8. I have been cutting back my time as of late...

the mood of the place has changed, it's almost like we can't handle winning an election or realize that more people are in the voting mix than all of us seasoned political mavens...

[KoKo]

12. It's hard to wade through it., many days...some days...not worth it...

it seems...

[KoKo]

99. It's the Perspective of many of us that gets into Controversy......maybe...

Just throwing it out there. As part of my '08 Resolution, I'm throwing out my files of Bush/Cheney and the rest's VIOLATIONS of CONSTITUTION because NO ONE will EVER be HELD..ACCOUTABLE. McCorporate Media will love Bush Pardons for their CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

Forgive the Full Caps...Lot's of Angst.

[alphafemale]

5. Legacy DU'ers?

Is that what we are? :rofl:

I don't know if you'd call it numbness but I do keep pinching myself to be sure I'm not dreaming.

That bleak, rainy, dreadful day eight years ago, when I got a glimpse of a banner and logged into a new website seems like a very long time past. We've gone through a lot together.

I am pretty low on post count, considering my "Legacy" status. But this place is dear to me. It's been a Touchstone at many times. During those days when * had a 90% approval rating and it was physically dangerous to speak otherwise this place helped keep my sanity.

On editing, the squabbling doesn't really bother me so much. It's happened here over various issues before, and it will happen again, but this is still a great place with the best minds and hearts on ALL the internets.

[SoCalDem]

13. I saw one of the admin guys on Cspan..in June talking about DU

went straight to the computer I signed up.. June 2001..

ahhh "Legacy".. the kind & gentle way of saying OLD !!

[TahitiNut]

16. "Old"? "OLD"??

Don't say "old" around old people. :dunce: (Now, where'd I leave my teeth?) :silly:

[SoCalDem]

17. the cat's batting them around in the living room

:)

[KoKo]

29. yeah...sometimes I feel like a "fur ball" if not a "cat bat" which comes on me at times, too.

:D

[KoKo]

20. No...that word, "Legacy"........

with that word, "LEGACY." Sounds alot better than..OLD...given that many here were not "old" in '01...even if our hair has gone WHITE in FRIGHT after the years of BUSH! :D

Anyway...Legacy is Good...IMHO

[KoKo]

90. NO..not OLD.....WISE! n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

113. that is when I signed up too!

DU sure has beeen through some stuff since then but it has been mostly good.

[KoKo]

14. Yes...

:D....War Horses who've been through it all...surviving...but "numb" for some of us...

Bleak Day of Stolen Election 2000...what a Ruckus that started...! Good Times ...but, not sure where we are going, these days...

[illuminaughty]

74. Another low count,, no count poster here.

But, I found this place through "Take Back the Media" and Symbolman. Used to force friends that came over to lurk and read the witty dialogue on here.

Now it's just my schizophrenic self saying, "Don't click on that shit", "Yeah, go ahead, click on it. Say goodbye to another four hours of your life", "Step away from the computer", "But, this thread swears it will provide some humor and insight"....:spank: (self spanking is fun!)

[SoCalDem]

76. Everyone here once had ONE post to their name

and all ideas are welcome.. by "most" of us at least :rofl:
(The ones of us who do not make lists and check it daily for the "naughty")
:hi:

[Robb]

86. Not me, I bribed elad to start out with 1,000 posts

As you can see, over the years it has greatly helped me assume the gravitas I so deserve. :D

[KoKo]

91. lol's... "Naughty but Nice" didn't ever go well, here..but then

"stuff" morphed over the years as the techies and the technology got better as we moved along. The "language morphed," too.

[alfredo]

6. I'm numb but it is from the Rye I'm drinking. Here since 01 2002

[OffWithTheirHeads]

10. numb? No but I have made judicious use of ignore to try to

filter out the shit disturbers who have flocked here to disrupt rational discussion.

[KoKo]

15. Summer Vacation, Holidays...down times and "basement kids?"

:shrug: They get more vocal, though....in their "vacations." But, many are feeling the effect of BushWorld..and are out of work. More downtime to do mischief...

[spanone]

18. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo....

[scarletwoman]

21. I haven't had time to get numb, there's always fresh outrages to get outraged about. (member #6679)

I certainly don't post as much as I did in the "old days", but I'm still here just about every damn day for the past 7+ years. Which is probably too bad -- I might have written The Great American Novel by now if I hadn't frittered away my time and energy arguing on the internets.

*sigh*

sw

(edited to improve my sentence structure -- I still care about that kind of stuff)

[KoKo]

27. lol's ...there's definitely a "Great American Novel" out there in one of us....

maybe a collaboration? Folks with same experience...getting it all together for a "best seller?"

[jazzjunkysue]

43. Scarlet!!!!!

From one old broad to another.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!!

[Dukkha]

22. not until 01/20/09

The shit head actually still thinks people care about what he thinks. So he'll be an unpleasant nuisance until that day when he's escorted out like a slobbering drunk ruining a party, and has a cab hailed for him to take his ass to Crawford at long last.

[KoKo]

23. Manyof trhe "Legacy" were born during times that gave them "spirit for change"

and they had to "grow into it" but they did...it was important...it will be with them (us) till we leave the earth... The "spirit" has been corrupted, thwarted and misguided...many times along the way...but it's there. It's just kinda "numb," right now...for some.

[MazeRat7]

24. Don't qualify as "legacy" and the jury is still out on "numbness".... n/t

[Redneck Socialist]

25. Only here since '03, so I suppose that I don't qualify at "legacy"

But it's pretty clear that DU isn't going to work so well without Gee Dub to focus our rage on.

:(

[KoKo]

28. '03 is legacy enough...

Maybe we are just in that "transition time." ???? Sort of dead space?

[leftofthedial]

26. I thought it was just poor circulation

[mitchtv]

32. I saw a five year old post today

many are now gone= fond memories

92. Issues we fought for then were expressed so differently...it's interesting to read that post. n/t

[hyphenate]

33. June 2001 here

Just the other day I was thinking and came to the realization that I've lost over 8 years of my life to this regime. I wonder what it would have been like to live those years without the shit of the maladministration. How much of my life would have been different, and then I realize it's actually been 14 years, not just 8: when congress went red for the last 6 years of Bill Clinton's terms, and very little in the way of progressive was passed, Clinton was impeached over one lie, and we had Newt, Coulter, and all the rest of those bastards crying for blood. Then 8 full years with the chimp, and now, we have just two years to prove ourselves until the next elections, when if we don't do what needs to be done, the reds will dominate again.

We should have impeached. We should have gave them back what they gave us in endless frustration, complete paralysis of our financial system, impeachment, and justice. It's hard not to feel angry or vengeance seeking, and even harder to believe that they're going to be conciliatory, because they won't be. I'll believe it when I see it. There is one good thing to come out of all this: many people in the country aren't the naive masses anymore--some people gained knowledge and won't be as lax to learn the truth and the facts anymore. Gone is the innocence we all started with, and gone is the idea that our elected officials really give a damn about what their constituents want, because they're going to do what they god-damned want to do, regardless.

[Octafish]

34. No. Not until they're all in jail.

Yes. The traffic has me feeling a bit more numb these days.



Shell-shocked at all the, eh, new-fangled logic.

I changed my handle from Oblomov to Octafish
when the crazy warmonkey invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003.
It was more than one of those old-DU new-DU before-and-after things.



It was me -- I just wasn't the same person anymore.

[KoKo]

93. It's the Overwhelming CORRUPTION and No One Held Accountable..that..

leads to the "Numbness." I never thought as an idealistic "War Baby" I'd ever see this kind of corruption and no matter how hard we tried..no one ever "really" listened. They gave "lip service" ...but they never heard us as if we were all on different pages of a book written for America's DOWNFALL... That's what makes me the most "numb, cold" and wondering.

[Octafish]

122. The truth's on our side, KoKo01!

So's history. Have you seen Russ Baker's new book, Family of Secrets - The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces that Put It in the White House, and what Their Influence Means for America.

Our good friends at BuzzFlash have a good review:

http://www.buzzflash.com/store/reviews/1421

Here's hoping for Truth in 2009. A Happy New Year to You and Yours, KoKo01!

[Lex]

35. What are "Legacy DU'ers"? I had to get in on my own credentials.

You mean I could've gotten out of the placement exam?

[Missy Vixen]

36. I've been here since 2001

I'm tired. Frankly, I'm losing interest.

Mostly, I get tired of the perfection of those who sit behind a keyboard, don't interact with the real world, and tell the rest of us how to live. :mad:

Julie

[Stephanie]

37. You said it

Most of the "legacy" folks are long gone, and for good reason. The nannies and the hall monitors and the plain imposters here must be proud of themselves. They've silenced the strongest voices at DU, or driven them away in disgust. Speaking of which, where is TomInTib these days?

[Shardik]

39. I've seen him a few times this week here and there. n/t

[Stephanie]

40. Search him. n/t

[Shardik]

41. Here's one I remember from the 25th

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4716967

[Stephanie]

42. Click his profile. n/t

[Shardik]

46. Aw shit.

I liked Tom. Do you know what happened?

[Stephanie]

47. No idea

But I know why I haven't been around, so I can guess.

[hfojvt]

75. near as I can tell, it was this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=124&topic_id=229029#229041

[Shardik]

80. Holy shit.

I imagine it was because of that. That really surprises me that he would have said that. There's opinionated and then there's WAY over the top.

His post was deleted but another quoted him downstream in the thread. Damn.

[Canuckistanian]

94. Wow. Just wow.

I know he liked to drink a little, then post stupid things, but...... that's unbelievable.

[stevedeshazer]

49. Aw, crap.

That's really a bummer.

:(

[Stephanie]

51. yeah

i don't understand what's happening here.

[Ichingcarpenter]

53. That one I don't get either

I will e mail him tomorrow.

[tammywammy]

81. I'm pretty sure this thread is why he was banned

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=124&topic_id=229029#229041

[merh]

54. holy shit

when did that happen and why

was it the same ones that have caused other "legacy" members to leave?

[TahitiNut]

55. Damn.

I liked him ... like a crazy cousin in the attic.

[hlthe2b]

79. LOL... isn't that the truth... Maybe he'll appeal...

[QueenOfCalifornia]

57. That guy

is here all the time.

It is scary.

[Missy Vixen]

60. Stephanie, I really like TominTib. He's cool.

Even if I sometimes disagree, he's a nice guy, and a pleasure to talk with.

I didn't check your profile before writing, but if you're Stephanie from NY, you rawk, and you have for a long time now.

Truthfully, I have to admit that I've been a "nanny" more than once, usually when people are just plain beating up on the kid of some Republican. If the kid chooses to make themselves the story, fine. If they're over 18, fine. When they're little (like Rick Santorum's little girl,) it makes me sick to read some of the crap. We wouldn't stand for it if it was written about Malia or Sasha Obama; why do we think a defenseless kid should get a world of crap because of who their parents are?

I really don't have an opinion about the subject du jour, other than the fact I'm completely disgusted that the young woman in question will probably most likely not get a high school diploma, let alone a college education, because she's now a pawn for her mother's ambition. IMHO, YMMV.

I think those who have been here for awhile eventually hit the wall. In my case, I just got sick and tired of writing, faxing, e-mailing, calling and meeting with my representatives, only to discover they don't give a shit what we all think on any subject. Be sure and contribute to their campaigns, though! I think the last straw for me was FISA.

I hope the New Year is wonderful for you and yours.
Julie

[jazzjunkysue]

45. And the spelling gestapo. I could really live without them.

They add so much to the discussion......NOT.

[KoKo]

95. Lot's of us "legacy" can't spell worth shit...but we get angry with others who make mistakes...

:D (I'm being ironic) It's not a word that went past "legacy," though...:-(

[hlthe2b]

78. Ditto....

These humorless folks would have tried to convince the editors of the Onion to pack it in...

I'm hoping it is a cycle and that the best of DU will survive the coming devastating (yet cleansing) Tsunami.

[Skittles]

38. nope, and I have been on DU since 2001

I'm a fighter

[Lex]

44. damn skippy

:thumbsup:

[Beausoir]

48. This is true about you.

You are one of a dwindling few good things about this website.

I've been here since 2002 and I'm not leaving either. Not until they kick me out.

[Skittles]

50. I fight the trolls, the homophobes, the worshipers

I calls 'em like I sees 'em :D

[kentuck]

52. Skittles has been here forever...

:-)

[chimpymustgo]

58. Lurked since spring 01. Joined 02. Skittles, luv ya. Don't come around as much anymore.

And don't post as much - though I did jump into some Gaza and Blago threads today.

I'm mostly around in the middle of the night! :D

65. lol

:rofl:

[Terran]

109. Me neither (and me too, since 8/01)

There's a lot of foolishness at DU, but there are also so many great people and so much genuine passion. People come and go (I've done that myself, after I lost a job because of DU), but it doesn't mean they're not still out there.

66. An 02 grandpa here, nice to see so many familiar names here ...

I rarely post anymore but I just did and managed to get on someones ignore list.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4741477&mesg_id=4741477

Ha HA!

I've never put anyone on ignore, what's the point of coming to a forum?

Any you old timers put anyone on ignore?

[Missy Vixen]

67. I do

It's the only way I can stay here. ;-)

Julie

[Bushknew]

70. LOL, I can't say that I haven't been tempted to put some people on ignore!

[SoCalDem]

72. Here's one I used to use for a sig pic.. (primary season)

[Bushknew]

83. Ah, if only they threw shoes or GW & Saddam had a danceoff to settle

their differences.

[KoKo]

96. I resisted until AFTER this past ELECTION....can you believe......

I still have doubts about "Ignore" function. I miss reading their screeds but, I felt that after Obama won...I didn't need any more "stress" because I wanted to have a few moments of happiness to savor it all before it fell apart in the Media...so ...it's not an easy choice, or maybe even the "best choice" to put folks on "Ignore." But, there are so many "evil do'ers"...sometimes it's the ONLY CHOICE, for sanity for some of us.

[SoCalDem]

100. If you want to read what they say, just click printer version

they all show up there :evilgrin:

[KoKo]

103. PM me about this...

thanks...!

[alphafemale]

77. Who needs a button to "Ignore" someone?

We never used to have Magic Buttons to remove people that irritated us. We had to Ignore them the "traditional" way. :hi:

[tnlefty]

87. Rarely and I think I've had a total of three and all but one

has gotten TS'd rather quickly. :hi:

I think that I may be on quite a few ignore lists though.

[TahitiNut]

82. I can't allow myself to become "numb" since that'd make me a "numbnut" ...

... and that'd be just wrong, somehow. :dunce:

[LanternWaste]

85. I don't know when I joined...

I don't know when I joined... sometime in 2001 I think (but I wish I could find out which month).

I just feel like I'm just going through the motion these days-- a cycle that stared when (IMHO) DU hit two specific deep troughs-- Andy's hospitalization and some of the reactions I read; and the Bev Harris debacle.

I was kind of hoping Obama would bring it back to another peak, but it hasn't happened yet.

But I'm in for the long haul.

[w8liftinglady]

89. I don't think so.Many of us are still activists

[KoKo]

97. We aren't really able to DO...that ACTIVISM...right now, though..

"numbness" over our "Activism" taking a hiatus for Reid/Pelosi and THIS ELECTION... Just saying.

[Uzybone]

102. Funny that I see posts in other threads about how this place is moving to the right

They could not be more wrong. This place is definitely moving towards the left, but in someways that I do not like. Lots of people here now are intolerant of other people views to the point they don't even care to convince them to see things the right way. Back in 2001, you could actually discuss a controversial issue on this site without it breaking down into a flame war. I felt that most people on here were on the same team. Nowadays not so much.

I was reading some old posts from 02 and 03 and people actually made OPs supporting Arnold over the dems, asking if being gay was a choice and saying Howard Dean was a blight upon the democratic party. Topics like that would get you flamed to hell nowadays. But back then people actually disagreed and explained why the disagreed without calling folks homophobes, bigots and trolls.

[KoKo]

104. What you are saying is that...there was "reasonable discussion" and not "attacks outta' the box?"

To disagree with you...I find DU moving towards the "hard right" and you see it moving towards the "left" but you can understand, I'm not trashing you for your opinion.

Maybe we can "move beyond?"

BTW...if you know anything about Howard Dean..he was a SAVIOR for Dem Party and not a "blight upon it" which is what you say in your post.

Cheers & Peace!

[Uzybone]

106. You misunderstand me completely

This is what I posted in my previous post:

" I was reading some old posts from 02 and 03 and people actually made OPs supporting Arnold over the dems, asking if being gay was a choice and saying Howard Dean was a blight upon the democratic party."


I said those posts were saying those things...Not that I agreed with them. I agree with you about Dean, he has been great.

Look back at some posts from 2002, there were many less than liberal ideas being discussed back then. Gay marriage was a topic that was 50/50 on this board. I disagreed with most of them.

And yeah, there was reasonable discussion, now its a contest to see who can be more outraged.

Cheers and Peace back at ya!

[NashVegas]

116. There Were Plenty of Conservative Dems Back Then, Yes

But the difference between then and now is then, they would passionately defend their opinions. Now, it's all via drive-by.

After Joe Lieberman's crap, this became a very unfriendly place for Blue Dogs.

As for the flames you'd get for nuking Dean this past year ... for one thing, people who backed him in 2004 simply aren't going to put up with any shit now, because he's more or less been proven himself. And his 2004 detractors don't have as much reason to give any, since (above) and because he's currently not a threat to anyone's powerbase. If Dean does anything that scares them in the future, they'll be back.

[Joanne98]

121. Oh course she's moving to the right. What to you think she's doing this for.

It has hit me some time ago... I used to post quite often in the "old" DU, but not anymore. And prior to Oct. 2003, I never had an ignore list... sad to say I add on to it nearly every day... most of them eventually get banned any how.

115. If That's Part of Shock, Then Yeah

But I started feeling it back in December or January (last year), so I'm kind of used to it. There were people I disagreed with who were civil, and there were people who weren't. Not much I can do about it.

117. I'm definitely numb right now

I don't know if the reasons are the same as yours. Mine are named Bud and Andre.

118. Legacy DUers, love it!

I used to think DUers were nuts, and then in '04, I realized I was inside the Planters canister, too!

I also used to be intimidated on here, especially with people who had that illustrious "1000+" posts by their user name! HAHA... Then I realized that meant squat.

Oh those were the days.

Thank you for this thread, good stuff on it! :)
:party:
