Seems to have been a quiet little purge lately. Lots of snickering, no-name mentions. Oddly enough it happened while the boggers were (http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/cough.gif) 'away'.

Thank you, mods. Things are a little less trolly 'round heah.
I'd like to start a new style of grave dancing at DU, where we don't actually name who's been voted off the island -- rather just focus on the fine work done by the mods of keeping the kitchen spotless.
It's probably more classy; plus, the recently betombstoned don't get to see their name in lights.
So, again: thanks, mods.

16. Yes, many who are gone were valued a lot. This is a shame.

They are silently gone, many of them. All their work of years disappeared. Lately without anyone noticing.

39. Yes, Nance, Jeff, and many others treated with hostility here when they post...
because they support President Obama...so much so that they rarely do post anymore. They, and many others like them, made DU what it is. Or were you thinking of someone else?
But little-balls berni remains.

32. It's Skinner's website and he gets to make the rules.
Violate them and get banned. It's that simple.
You don't like his rules, go elsewhere.
This genius doesn't quite understand the concept...

197. In reality, "free" speech only applies to a public forum. The owner of this "membership only," private site has the right to refuse service to those not wearing shoes, or anyone else who does not follow his rules. DU has a much more liberal policy, and shows more tolerance, than many on-line discussion forums.

Is oldelmtree a place where banned DU'ers go?

oldelmtree appears to be where the kmer rouge DUmmies drag their victims to give them the plastic bag. They reanimate over night, and begin posting.

They've only purged two of my moles in the last six months, and none of my deep cover ones.
I am afraid they purge more of the faithful than infiltrators...

boggers were 'away'.
Alpha Mare, you placed a smiley between were and away. What in the world is he doing? I can't figure it out.

Quote from: Hayduke on Today at 07:09:48 AM
his "fierce urgency of now" from the election has turned into the chorus from MC Hammer's "Pray"
All of this "we" need to "do" something...who does he think is going to DO anything? He didnt introduce any plan to help the Gulf, stop BP's deluge, or change our energy plan.
He was great at campaigning and it seems that it is all he knows how to do. Is he going to "speach-ify" the oil off the beaches?
I think he gave George W. Bush a call last night and said, man you were right. This is hard work.
DUmmys eating their own is a wonderful sight to see.
Told ya so moron DUmmys...

So I can sign up at DU as TxRadioguy and post freely?

First there was the gay purge, now we have the "Silent Purge".
What's next?
The "Furry Purge"?
Do I need to sell my mole's cat costume with the "back door" bottoms? :-)

161. Yes, it is true.
We've also banned about a half dozen other people in th last few days. I am confident they all know why they were banned, and were not surprised when it happened.
Locking.
It's like damn genocide I tell ya! :bwah:

9. He is a decent guy
Edited on Fri Jun-18-10 01:48 AM by grantcart
Unfortunately Jake is a very active participant in another website that has several ongoing forums, which he participates in, that offer an ongoing commentary on DU.
Their basic premise is that we are gutless idiots who pander to Obama.
They also make daily criticisms about the management of DU and the rules here.
Mr. Allentown found their company more enticing than ours.
I guess they're talking about the site that was linked here the other day.

42. Two Points, Ma'am
First, the rules contain a few clauses which boil down to 'at the pleasure of the proprietors', and that is that. If the man says 'go home,' it ios his living room.
Second, people are not, and have not been, banned for posting on other sites. There have doubtless been occasions, however, when what people have said on other sites has made it clear to the moderators and the administrators that they come to D.U. to cause trouble, start fights, and generally make problems and raise disturbances. If you reflect on it a moment, you may see the sense of it. A person who was posting, say, on Free Republic as well as here, and over there was talking about how he baited some members of this site, I expect you would agree should go. The thing can be done from the left as well as the right, however, and from the point of view of enforcement, there is not much difference.

87. Free Republic?
I've never been to Free Republic. They aren't my party so I have no interest in them. And the accusation that people come to cause trouble and start fights is untrue. I can't go into it in any more detail because I would be deleted even if I was careful to not make it a personal attack even while being under personal attack myself (which happens often) and that, in essence, is exactly why people start looking around for other options.
By the way, do you realize that in cutting off the left, the democratic party moves further toward the right? The left kept the democratic party honest and true to ideals.

39. Another LGBTer bites the dust.
Toasterlad, too.
There are so few of us here now. The LGBT presence on DU has been almost entirely gutted. It'd be a terrible thing if Republicans behaved this way.
This thread has turned out to be a hoot!

Don't confuse the two issues. You were all gutless idiots long before you started pandering to Dear Leader.

Bread and Circuses people thats all DU is and ever will be. Oh and a cash cow for Skimmers vacations.

As far as I'm concerned, that's one of the best things about screwing with them!
