The thread is locked now, but Seneca made some interesting points at the bottom, especially the post about Pitt:

60. A popularity thread by any other name
Kind of goes against the egalitarian ethos of my progressive values.
Which is why I don't have a donor star - it reeks of Sneech-like elitism.

71. By all means, go right ahead
Some of the names being exalted here. Ugh.
Will Pitt? I was here in December 2002 (I posted more back then) when he posted one of the ugliest threads in DU history. Called out his then-fiancee (not his current wife) as a "narcissistic c*nt" (he DID NOT censor it), and complained in brutal terms how she was "crying narcissistic tears". Over what? Their wedding plans. The woman he supposedly loved, above all others, being vilified in the most degrading terminology possible. Now, I always caught a whiff of misogyny in his posts, but this was concrete evidence.
Naturally, there was a major flame war, and the thread was removed. But those of us who remember it, recall it was the day the Bloom Fell Off the Will Pitt Rose. Another meltdown like that by him was not seen again until the Rove indictment fiasco. Alcohol is not his friend.
There are others in this thread being celebrated I know some sick, verifiable shit about, but DU rules forbid me from calling them out. But I am happy knowing that more of us know the truth than not.

85. We've decided to lock the popularity contest threads.
They rarely end well and this one is spawning questionable copycats.

MISKIE!!!!!! I need to see that thread. Pretty please.

X list celebrities, maybe.
DullPig and The Pitt Stain are probably the closest.

That's a good find, Ballygrl! :lmao:

Geez, did that DU thread make anyone else besides me nauseous?? :puke: Hope Calpig didn't suffocate under all the bullcrap tossed her way . . . she must be the queen of screen-refresh to keep up with thanking her many 'fans'. (again :puke:)

Good grief! Can't think of anything else to say!

Who are those at DU that you consider celebrities?
A list of the world's most notorious murderers, pedophiles, sycophants, psychotics, losers, scumbag parasites, and burnt-out dopers will yield the same results.

6. Skinner and Elad are the obvious choices
California Peggy, of course. The usual front page suspects (and I mean that in a nice way): Kpete, MadFloridian, NancyGreggs, DavidSwanson, Stinky The Clown, William Pitt,

I did a search for it over there earlier today and couldn't find it.

Is it impossible to find if the DU deleted the thread?

You know, I'm pleased that the primitives and decent and civilized people agree upon something.
It's remarkable, the similarities in the list of those the primitives consider "celebrities," and the lists of the top primitives, or DUmmies, the past several years.
Almost an exact match.
