7. For the record
Last night Will Pitt repeatedly threatened another member with physical violence, including a death threat. After the moderators deleted those messages he sent the threats again to the member via private message, during which he challenged the member to report his behavior to the moderators, implying that he would not be held accountable for his actions.
We don't enjoy banning people, particularly people who have been here a long time. WilliamPitt left us absolutely no choice in this matter. This is entirely his own fault and responsibility.
Locking.
He was very mean to my mole not long after the Scott Brown election.
I never spoke to him again after that.
so, is it true that bobo the hobo is gone too?

On being somebody's Son.
Very difficult sometimes when you are a writer and you put yourself out there all the time. There is no better way to turn a discussion away from the main point than to derail it by bringing a relative into it.
There is no better way to enrage a son that to bring his/her mother/father into the discussion in a really hurtful way.
I don't know what the writer said to be banished from this site and I don't condone it but it seems to me that the poster who brought the writer's mother into it hit way below the belt.
We have to find a better way to converse here. Locking and tombstoning one side of this kind of discussion and not the other does not seem to further that. It now would seem that bringing a relative into a discussion and evoking a reaction will become the debate tactic of choice.
Here's a prime example of the ridiculous-ness of DU. You can't even discuss the tombstoning of people. They've become un-people.
Mom chimes in..

Damn, one of the original scumbags gone. I wish he was really laying in a grave though.
Really?
What is up with such nasty comments around here? I get not liking someone. Despising someone, but my goodness what an ugly thing to say.
After the shit he said about al-Qaida in Iraq taking our guys out so it makes more political hay for the Dems? F*ck that...
The homeless joke is so tacky. I understand the disdain for bobbolink, but damn.
If you read it, you would have noticed it was addressed to her and not the homeless sector.
**** her.
I admit that I never read much of his stuff, and I don't know what you are talking about. I will assume you really don't wish death on him, and you were just venting.
Ok, but I hate it for the real homeless people out there. Because that joke was tacky. I like tacky jokes mostly, but there are lines I won't cross.
I somehow missed her whole homeless act (I guess). She seems pretty adamant about it, but I don't see the real homeless people hanging out at DU, so I surely question it too. And she hangs there a lot. So, I do think IF she is homeless, she could spend that time looking for a better paying job (if she has a job) and NOT posting on DU.
Believe what you want, but when someone says they hope our guys get fragged because it is beneficial to the political party that they back, there is no going back from that.
She doesn't want a job. She wants unrestricted money, housing with all expenses paid and medical care. Not welfare or Government housing mind you. Just give her what she wants without answering to anyone or no accounting.

Ok. I really have no idea what you are talking about. I didn't read his comments or story on that. I rarely ever read what he posted. BUT, IMO it is not ok to wish death on someone. I have an 18 year old cousin being deployed to Afghanistan this summer, I would be extremely pissed and upset if someone wished death on him, but I will not wish it back. That is just me.My husband is going over as well this summer and I have spent my fair share of time in the sandbox. Trust me there are plenty of people over on the island that would jump and dance for joy if something happened to either one of them.

Exactly the DU idiots root for the enemy.
After so many years of rooting for the other team, where is the line of distinction between them and "the other team"?
I say that the DUmpMonkees are just illegal enemy combatants - by the Geneva Convention's definitions - that just haven't picked up a Kalashnikov yet (most of 'em, anyway). The only way to deal properly with illegal enemy combatants - according to the Geneva Convention rules - is with a 9mm/.45ACP enema to that sewer riding on top of their necks.

I dunno. But I DO know that the fastest way to make a liberal elitist a-hole have a conservative monment of clarity is, apparently, to insult his Mommy.
A conservative moment of clarity like this one:
Outstanding, Will! Best thing you ever hammered out of that keyboard.
For those of you who are new here, as well as for lurkers, the more you read what we write, the more you will understand that we (at least most) don't broadbrush people who we disagree with as evil. For instance, just because we think Bobolink is horrid (or an A+ mole), doesn't mean that we hate all people who need a handup. Bobo constantly states that it is society's responsibility to provide homeless people homes. She doesn't want to share, she most certainly does not want a shelter, and woe be it unto anyone who doesn't respond to her specifications with wholehearted agreement. She shared her life story in one thread, and went absolutely ape shit if anyone asked a question about her circumstances, stating they were private. She's had at least 2 places to live (that she discussed), but left because she had disagreements with the management. When someone suggested she get a roommate, that set her off because in her mind, she should be able to have the comforts of a nice home without having to share it with another person.
Bobo wants everything handed to her with no strings attached. She wants the government and society to provide for her, but providers should not ask questions or require anything back. She has plenty of time to post on DU, and judging from what she has said, she has time to work on homeless issues. She could do herself a big favor by merely adjusting her brillo-pad attitude, as well as finding a job typing, or some other employment that does not require strenuous activity. It's remarkable to me that there are people in this world who feel that just by breathing they are entitled to a good life with no work on their part. I believe Bobo knows without a doubt that the government doesn't give benefits without another citizen having to give something up. I don't think she cares. She has plenty of people over on DU that accept this philosophy and go to bat for her, no matter how horrible she is to other posters. I've never seen one person over there offer to give her with what she wants. K&Rs don't cut it. Her cheerleaders want someone else to provide it for her.
I totally understand what you're saying about Bobo, if she has the time to post on the DU all day I would hope she also has a window opened to something with employment opportunities, but odds are she doesn't. I have sympathy for legitimate cases out there of people who are busting their butts looking for a job and just need a little help, but I have no sympathy for chronic abusers of the system who think they're owed something.
BTW, where's Bobo's Hope that Obama promised her?
It got changed.
Either that, or she traded it for a tank of gas for her "home"....
Do you mean to tell us that you have no idea of the hate for our troops over there? My dear, I could have been turned into a puddle of goo by a jihadi and my family altered forever, and your crowd at the DUmp would have said that I was a mercenary, I deserved it, etc, and I would have been nothing more than a stepping stone for them to try and walk on to win elections; just one more in the celebrated body count.
Think they'll give your cousin a pass?
Personally, I don't wish death on Wee Willy Pisspants or the rest of the useless liberal democrat troop haters. My own thought is that I would love to get within an arm's reach of them to make our meeting a teachable moment: words have meaning and consequences.
There are some people over there that may have wished that, but there are also vets over there, and mothers and fathers of soldiers over there. I avoided many threads, and I only posted in a few forums.
TiT was NOT, repeat NOT, a "veteran". Nor are probably 75+ percent of those who claim it, and of those who were, most of them were likely shitbags to start, and the military was a better place the day they left/got booted out.
I don't know who TiT is. But yes there are real vets over there. And I know many mothers over there of troops.
RIF, noob. I didn't say there are NO vets there, but most of the ones who have that status were more likely than not shitheels back when they did serve (or more accurately, were drafted or joined to avoid being drafted.)
Find me a handful over there who joined AFTER DoD went to an all-volunteer force.
I don't know who TiT is. But yes there are real vets over there. And I know many mothers over there of troops.
RIF-Reading Is Fundamental. I see my age is showing here.
TomInTib - since tombstoned - he was a legend in his own mind. He claimed to rub elbows with the business and political elite - and had a stunning military career, where he fought for the United States, seemingly as a Ranger, a Seal, a Marine, and a pilot all at the same time.
The truth is Tom was a slightly less important figure, who sold overpriced curios and imported Asian goods from a small shop in Tiburon, Ca until the company closed that branch (http://opiahome.com)
He would wander around Tiburon, bathed in his self importance in a big straw hat and sandals, He sported a large white beard, and frankly, looked like he would be at home sipping Mojitos from the porch of a former plantation owner's mansion deep inside Georgia.
I don't know who TiT is. But yes there are real vets over there. And I know many mothers over there of troops.

And a large percentage of the mothers of soldiers tried to talk their kid out of enlisting. Told them they were stupid for fighting for this country.
They encouraged soldiers that were home on leave to go AWOL or go to Canada.
They hate anything associated with the military. It was twice as bad when President Bush was in office.
Anti military threads were a daily thing.
If you're a donating member, go look up some threads by Proud2Blib. She :drool: over the thought of Code Pink harassment of military personnel.
ACtually I quit donating when my star expired last November, but someone donated in my name, so I still have a star. I left DU, so I try to stay away. It was kinda hard with the Will Pitt banning though. I wasn't close with him, but I know many were, so it did engage my curiosity.
Proud2blib was always one of those I couldn't understand. Sometimes, I got what she was saying, but many times I was left dumbfounded. And in all honesty, y'all know more about DUers than I do. Y'all talk about some DUers I have never even heard of. There are some wack jobs over there that I do know about, but I have had a few mentioned to me here that I have never had any contact with whatsoever. TiT being one. I may have responded to him before, but I surely don't remember it.
I will accept that you just hung around the lounge and I have not lurked or moled there very much but outside of that DU is a haven for the absolutely off the cliff insane.
Not just by our opinion as a matter of political disagreement but a badge of honor they openly and proudly wear and proclaim.
Almost all are forever talking about what therapy,medication or issues surrounding some sort of mental issue they have.
It is really not pretty.
I read what you wrote. I read it fully. I just don't want to take away from those who are actual vets and would never wish harm on any troop.
I admit, as the mother of a Marine I'm hyper-sensitive to those threads but when Bush was president you could find at least one almost every day, Many of them started by or frequented by mike_c. That there is so much hatred in a group that pretends to be about "peace and justice" is unreal. There was a daily (almost joyous) account American military deaths. Now, not so much. Afghanistan is having it's bloodiest years yet (largely because of the ROE that says they can't shoot when civilians are around...wonder of wonders the Taliban & Al Qaeda figured that out and have their women and children running ammo and reloading) and it's barely mentioned over there. Wars are okay when fought by Democrats I guess.
Cindie
How sweet. :maddernhell: Willie the Pitts went batshit craaazy in defense of his mommie, on Mother's Day.:hyper:
Now, why didn't either of my kids think to post threats online against someone in my "defense" instead of sending flowers. :lmao:
Wars are never ok
but sometimes necessary, sparky.
keep that in mind as you are placing flowers in our guns...
Big DUFU on the way! ON THE WAY!!!
You obviously didn't get the context in which I wrote that, sparky.
Wars are never ok, and we should keep in mind all over there fighting. Doesn't matter what political backround they have, color, sex, whatever. All should be kept in our hearts and minds.
There are some people over there that may have wished that, but there are also vets over there, and mothers and fathers of soldiers over there. I avoided many threads, and I only posted in a few forums.

I think I'd tell people not to join while Obie the Won is in office.
Some? Some?!? How about a majority? I have never seen such a disgusting pit of filth as a DU grave dancing thread! Did you not look at anything over there to see who you were associating with? You are known by the company you keep...
I am a person whose friends are mainly republican.

Who made that, asdf? It's excellent!
Holy Cow, TXRadioGuy, regarding your post just above. I didn't know that shit....stunning. Execrable. Thanks for the specific info.
I thank you! I made that last night. :-)
My husband is going over as well this summer and I have spent my fair share of time in the sandbox. Trust me there are plenty of people over on the island that would jump and dance for joy if something happened to either one of them.

Very nicely done, ASDF! :cheersmate:
You do know that things are not as tidy as "democrat" or "republican", don't you?
Make sure when he goes that he signs up on the Soldiers Angels website. Someone will "Adopt" him for his deployment and send him babywipes and jerky and nice notes.I'm a Solder's Angel. :-) I think it's fun to shop for things for a man who's not your husband. Feels ever so slightly scandalous. :lmao:

Hey April thanks to your family for the sacrifices and the heartache to keep my fat civilian ass safe here. :-) Make sure when he goes that he signs up on the Soldiers Angels website. Someone will "Adopt" him for his deployment and send him babywipes and jerky and nice notes.They sent me some stuff when I was deployed. I am signing him up with these ladies http://www.thepinupangels.com/pinupangelshome.html :-)

Find me ONE that is happy their son joined or is about to join.

My very republican and conservative active duty Air Force uncle wasn't happy his son signed up for the Army. It scares him, and rightly so.
Twenty-twenty-twenty-four business hour a daaaaaay, I wanna be t'stoned. :-)
RIP Pitt.
Only by judgmental people.
Why yes I do. Contrary to what you may think, I am smart.

Ok. I really have no idea what you are talking about. I didn't read his comments or story on that. I rarely ever read what he posted. BUT, IMO it is not ok to wish death on someone. I have an 18 year old cousin being deployed to Afghanistan this summer, I would be extremely pissed and upset if someone wished death on him, but I will not wish it back. That is just me.
Sure seems to be a heck of a lot you don't know about the slime pit you say you have wallowed in since 2005! I for one, sure as hell know the class of clientele where I put down my roots!
What are you frikkin' deaf and DUmb? If not, you're certainly the most naive DUmmie to ever cross our path!

My very conservative and common sense minded mother was scared out of her mind that her only child joined the Navy. But, she was very proud that her son volunteered himself to defend our country.
This very conservative and common sense minded Navy retiree has a son who joined the Army. Scares me out of my mind that he might get hurt. But, I told him to pay close attention to his senior NCOs, give them everything he's got, and keep his wits about him at all times. I am very proud that he volunteered himself to defend our country.
"Happy" isn't a factor.
Wee Willie Pitt sleeps with the fishes!!! ...have there been any reports of large fish kills yet?

Gotta love that name and profile pic if that is wee willie. singingfeeling with a pic of dead ted kennedy.
I'm sure Willie and Dead Ted were drinking buddies. Or at least shared the same gutters when Dead Ted was particularly inebriated.

Fat Teddy wouldn't dare hang out with a lower social class idiot like the Pittster. Unless Wee Willie was buying the Johnnie Walker Blue.

Now that Wee Willie is banned, shouldn't TruthOut be on the list of sites that cannot be named?

Wee Willie Pitt sleeps with the fishes!!! ...have there been any reports of large fish kills yet?
Frank will be heartbroken when he learns of this.
Fish kills? Is California Peggy skinny dipping in the Gulf or something?
They sent me some stuff when I was deployed. I am signing him up with these ladies http://www.thepinupangels.com/pinupangelshome.html :-)
I read all 14 pages. I think I need a nap, and some mind bleech. (Thanks a lot, RadioGuy.)
Seriously, who threatens someone over the internet? I'm still curious as to what the homeless primitive said about Willie's mommy though.
Probably told him something like his mommy had a bigger dick then he did.
