I know this poster rubbed some people the wrong way.


Myself included. I also know she has a lot of support around these parts. While I never lost an argument to said individual  , they did often post links to great information. I'm always appreciative of that and give thanks where it is due. Nadine has also composed some solid articles at her new outlet.

For her supporters and those who support independent journalism:

At her new outlet? That sounds about right.

I miss nadin

This "thing" is a lot less fun without characters like that.

Is this an attempt to rehabilitate nads' DU reputation as preparation for her to return? An attempt to drum up some supportive noises to persuade her she has some following on DU?

I realized just this AM that I hadn't seen any RolexRandy posts brought over here in quite a while. Is he in self-imposed (or involuntary) exile on JPR? On vay-cay? Slacking in his DOTY efforts?

Rubbed?! Those she didn't file with a rasp she sanded with 40-grit sand paper!

Here's her GBCW post at JackpineRadicals, the OP has been deleted so the context of her reply is pretty much impossible to determine:

nadin replied to the topic A observation and warning in the forum General Discussion Thursday, Aug 11, 2016, 10:14pm PDT

I am talking of psychological operations.

And I am not even talking of DU as that other site. That other site is long gone… but I suspect some of the same people, and they know who know who they are, did the same there as they are doing here. Or at least similar psychological warfare operators. They did good there too. if you are part of the establishment. 18 months, and that site devolved. and went away. This is actually happening faster.

But hey, if you don’t want to heed the warnings, by all means, don’t.  Several of us have tried to tell you.  I am not going to stop you from doing whatever. I’m not going to play those games either. But it explains to me now, with full clarity, how movements fail in the US. That… is the big picture.

And yes I am trying to make a difference. I am telling you EXACTLY how a site was sabotaged, becuase the same is happening here. What you do with that information is up to you, not me.

I got a citizen initiative (chuckle) to read, submitted by that corporate citizen called the San Diego Chargers. It is only 119 pages long… ah morning light reading I suppose. Now seriously, it is up to you folks to do what you wish with that information. It is up to me to do what I was told by a few of you, exist stage left. becuase I am really not wanted by a few of you. And I no longer stay where I am not wanted. Not being dramatic, just being factual.

Good night.

Oh and this is not a GBCW post, nobody is committing suicide, none is dying. It is just what it is. I am still going to be around on the web, just not here. If you all wise up to what is happening and act on it. I might, and that is really a big qualifier, MIGHT consider coming back, I do enjoy talking policy. And I would love to at the very least slow down that Nimitz Class Carrier, and I am using that analogy, becuase that is one of the largest vessels on the oceans today. I think there is a cruise ship that is bigger in mass, but not faster.

gNads wants to slow down a Nimitz class carrier? Why?

33. Yeah, I'm not sure if she actually left but she was warning about all the hatred on the site and
 
that it might lead to their demise. That did not go over very well with many of them.

[franksolich]

Oh dear goodness me.

10. The word 'intentionally' belongs in that subject line.

11. I've never figured out why Nadine rubs some people the wrong way.
 
I know damned well why I do.

in response to NCTraveler's original post seeking sympathy for cousin nadin 

16. Sorry, but no. Usually I agree with what you post, NC, but this is a no.
 
I wouldn't sully my browser by clicking on that link.

That poster goes out of her way to make herself part of the story and goes to bizarre lengths to do so. She plays victim far too often to be credible. The way she made herself part of the story after the first BLM activists confronted Sanders by comparing her questioning from a bureaucrat to AA's being shot in the street by cops was just downright freakish. No thanks. That is not "reporting."

I'm only contributing this because she has blamed people here for harassing her (once again the victim) at that link, and I wouldn't give her the hits. Interestingly, she lambasts this website for enforcing standards, but IP bans anyone who posts something she doesn't like at that above "blog". No thanks.

My oh my.

I hope she never posts here again.

32. I wouldn't miss her either. The one discussion I tried to have with her
 
she immediately flew off the handle and started using profanities.

She also made no coherent sense. 

[franksolich]

Goodness gracious.

She was just about the nastiest poster I ever had occasion to run into.

19. NO! No no no no no no no. Let sleeping beanballs lie.
 
This is asking for trouble. 

betsuni (3,481 posts)    Thu Aug 18, 2016, 09:26 AM

27. Yes, trouble. She gives proofreaders a sick headache and threatens people. Absurd.

[franksolich]

Oh, the humanity.....

The bridges have been burned as far as I am concerned.

23. Some of our good DU writers should help proof read for the site-

"Those adds are not raking the money in. I suspect some people think that. They works like Google Adds. They pay out a few cents every time people click on them. We will not see any on that until there are $100 collected."

26. I told her I was willing to connect her with an editor.
 
I really was trying to be helpful as it's clearly necessary. Her message back calling me a bully was wrought with grammatical errors. It was just one more occasion where she made me smile.

[franksolich]

Gasp!

randome (31,955 posts)    Thu Aug 18, 2016, 09:12 AM

24. Every single post of hers was about her.
 
But liberally sprinkled with words like "we" and "us" as if to imply she was at the vanguard of some immense team when it was just her writing a blog. The whining about being bullied when she was the one doing the bullying was always too much.

Her conviction that Clinton's statements about her emails were exactly like Watergate was the ultimate in self-serving delusion.

If she somehow learns to communicate more effectively online without the prickliness and self-promotion, I would not mind at all. But I don't think she could do that.

Self-congratulatory hobby blog says what?

She's a horrorshow and I do not miss her.

37. It was always helpful to get "up to the moment" reports ...
 
on traffic jams in San Diego.

When I live in the Tampa Bay area.

I never commeted on that because I didn't want to be regarded as a "bully". 

[franksolich]

One wonders if this is the same cousin nadin the rest of us have come to know and love.

40. Nope.

[SVPete]

Is it just me? Or is there a severe lack of nads-love over there on DU?

[FlippyDoo]

It's worst. Suffice it to say DU is pining for the fords without nadin. Rubics cube has been crossed. If climactic change or a stray windmill blade doesn't wipe us out I don't know what we'll do. Or Fukushima's radioactive stuff from of there in Japan. Yep. And that other thing. Thankfully I've got a boot full of peanut butter.

Now I'm going to read the entire set of Encyclopedia Britannica. Oh, light evening reading I suppose.

[fatboy]

But exactly how many DUers are allowed to take their good rig, put on a carbon-fiber helmet with a Kevlar lining and don a Kevlar vest with carbon-fiber buckles and assist the sheriff while he serves an arrest warrant, even get to slap on the cuffs and read their rights to some low life evangelical/conservative scum homophobe?

Yea, I didn't thinks so.

[DUmpsterDiver]

DU lost 99% of its IQ when Nadin left.

[BamaMoose]

I know she'll be back because she needs the attention, but if not I'll truly miss her posts because they were always so entertaining.  Between the spelling, grammar, malaprops and outright ignorance, every post of hers made me laugh.  Watching her completely misrepresent a situation and then go to the mat defending her screwed up view of the world was a joy to behold.

Nadin, I know you are reading this, please don't go away.  The DUmp isn't as interesting without you.  The world needs more clowns to laugh at.

Maybe next she will be a rocket scientist!

Well now,that is all just some kind of damned disrespectful to the only one at the DUmp who ever tried to educate the riff raff there.
