Not for liberals.  They like rules.  LOTS of rules.  Especially those rules they get to make up and follow if they want to.  OR BREAK WHEN THEY DON'T, WITHOUT ANY SORT OF CONSEQUENCES.

I read most of that........what a chore......what a bore......but it did remind me of one thing. When we do we make our "NOT MY PRESIDENT" and "WE'RE SORRY WORLD" signs and post them on the internet?

What a bunch of children at DU. The rules list is longer than the health care bill.
Compare that to the rules here and places like TOS.
Then again they are libs and libs love rules.

You know, that's one of the biggest differences between liberals and conservatives. Liberals think that there should be law telling you what you can do whereas conservative believe that laws spell out what is illegal. If it's not against the law, it's OK to do.

Holy crap. I've managed to run two versions a board for over two years with only 7 short rules.

Of course, the only people to run afoul of those rules were either Obots or Jew haters. Go figure. :whatever:

Wow. If enforced, that's going to do away with 90% of what passes for "discussion" in their General Discussion forum.

Skinner, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Skinner, do you think they'll like this song?
Skinner, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Skinner, should I build the wall?
Skinner, should I run for President?
Skinner, should I trust the government?
Skinner, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry
Skinner's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Skinner's gonna put all of his fears into you
Skinner's gonna keep you right here under his wing
He won't let you fly, but he might let you sing
Skinner will keep Baby cozy and warm
Oooo Babe
Oooo Babe
Ooo Babe, of course Skinner's gonna help build the wall

That about sums it up.

Democratic Underground Administrator Posts Absurdly Detailed Rules to Micromanage Dissent
Quote
The leftwing blogosphere has a big problem: dissent. Last week we saw Keith Olbermann leaving the Daily Kos because he was attacked there for mildly criticizing Barack Obama. And this week, the administrator of the Democratic Underground, David Allen aka Skinner,  was forced to deal with a recent wave of purges (tombstoning). One reason  was due to simple liberal crackup temper tantrums among the DUers as happened when their most prominent member, William Rivers Pitt of Karl Rove indictment hoax fame, was tombstoned last month for threatening physical violence upon a fellow DUer who turned out to be a homeless woman. More serious is the current wave of dissent from DUers who are expressing dissatification with Obama's poor performance as president.

In order to stifle more dissent, Allen has set forth an absurdly detailed and lengthy set of rules for posting at the Democratic Underground. The result is pure comedy gold. So enjoy this small sampling from the buffet table of Allen's obsessive micromanagement down to the smallest laughable detail:

Hmmm... The Free Republic had TONS of dissent over Bush's support for shamnesty and attempting to appoint Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court yet NOT ONE new rule was developed on how to deal with that situation. OTOH, Skinner will soon post, in excruciating but hilarious detail a multitude of redundant rules on how to write about The One.

Ouch.

- Calling someone a liar, or calling a post a lie.
- Calling someone a conservative, disruptor, or similar.

I predict Hannahbell has a shelf life of 3.7 seconds under these new rules.

Inappropriate source
- Websites with a focus on disrupting Democratic Underground and/or smearing DU members.
- Websites with bigoted content (Holocaust skepticism, Jewish conspiracies, and the like).
- Note: Linking to right-wing websites is usually permitted, provided the intent is to expose their agenda rather than agree with it.

When doing so, please keep in mind that most of our members come to this website in order to get a break from the constant attacks in the media against our candidates and our values.

 :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I'll give Skinner credit, he does really believe that. Wonder what color the sky is where he lives.
