Message to: A very small number of people -- you know who you are.
Cut the crap.
I have instructed the moderators to lock any thread from The Usual Suspects that tries to continue your annoying interpersonal squabble. Please try to find something positive to contribute to this community, or else please go away.
To the people reading this who have no idea what I'm talking about or who I'm talking to: Don't worry, I'm not talking to you.
To those of you who need to whine: I'm leaving this thread open so you can do it in here.

5. I will start.
I, knowingly, walked into a lounge hate-fest.
I had messages deleted because they called out the disappearing of OP's.
Sometimes I want to participate in the Lounge, but I don't know if I am stepping into some sort of clique war.
That is all.

8. Wait one minute, Mr. Allen
You let DUers like Bluebear and Depakid make vicious personal assaults on people day after day after day.
You never do a damn thing about their crap.
But some of us are upset that a longtime poster who has performed real acts of kindness is leaving DU, and you decide that it is an Admin-level crisis, and decide to tell us to shut up?
That, sir, is the height of hypocrisy.
If you had a feud with Lefty, so be it. Most of the people who have paid your freight for the last decade did not.

73. She needs to go back posting on the freeper site....
where she bashes innocent DU members that have never done a thing to her but be nice. Imagine starting friendships with CC people so she can bash DU.
She's trash alright.

111. Not true
But if course my personal experiences mean nothing right? You know everything Mr. All knowing? You need to stop discounting other peoples personal experiences based on your personal beliefs. It's not a way to win friends. Just accept the fact that there is stuff going on here that you don't know. And no, o won't explain because it's not appropriate to air it in this forum. But tell me do you think posting peoples real names here without permission is at all ethical? Cause in my world it's not.

33. Oh give it a rest
That's not homophobic.
Spend a little time around American males over the age of 12 and you will hear that term used constantly. It has no more to do with homosexuality than "mother****er" has to do with incest. It's a term of rage and anger, not of anti-gay sentiment.
Tossing accusations of homophobia around every time someone says something that annoys you is cheap,childish, and counterproductive.

299. Your post is an excellent example of blatant, unearned heterosexual male privilege.
You easily dismissed the experience of a lesbian poster, while later laying out your credentials as some firewall towards any further criticism. That's totally hypocritical and arrogant and reminds me of some DFA members here in Jersey who continue to forget their hetero privilege.
:rotf: Shut up, fag.

328. she was giving an opinion to skinner
I don't know anything about ghostkicking threads. But I feel like I know xema a little bit, and what maddie did was ****ed. And I liked her! now I may be treading on a lot of hidden shit here, as I don't have a clue what the issue was, but as I keep saying - I have to go by what I see and read with my own eyes. If I have been mislead then I will have to deal with it, but for now I will stand up for xemasab in this. You can't attack everyone who has an opinion. The thread is attracting attention way beyond the small group it was addressed to, can't blame people for chiming in. Can't even blame them for not liking the people we like.
Now bullying and lying and rude, cruel shit is another matter. Those people deserve retort. I have not seen that from Xema.

354. We'll agree to disagree about LFP
but (and this is my personal opinion, so forgive me my soapbox here) DU is not about the Lounge.
Most of the people here have other forums that they spend time in, and they may wander between the Lounge and other places on the site. Some people may wander away from the big forums for months before returning to the fray, or they may be rare visitors to the Lounge.
Some of the people who I disagree with in the political forums I am friendly with in the Lounge. On the flip side, some of the most brilliant political minds on DU are some of the people who are most likely to get really, really drunk and spam the Lounge with garbage and abuse.
Searching for threads that LFP posted in in the last month, there were 376 threads in the big forums and only one of them was in GD. The thread he started in GD was about a friend of his who was considering quitting his job.
I missed all of the other threads since I've had him on ignore for about a year, and reading through them I note that I didn't miss much. Virtually of his posts are too short and too random to be funny. Which just makes them annoying. I have always gotten the sense that he just opens a big bottle of godknowswhat and posts random shit that comes into his mind. And if his raison d'etre is to be drunk and annoying, I don't see why skinner should allow him to do it here.
Maybe I'm being unfair to the guy, but I put the dude on ignore because virtually everything he posted was crude and a waste of time. YMMV.

9. You TSd the wrong person, Skinner.
And you should know that.
People get angry and you know he didn't mean that. We've written you & the mods several times about these ****ers and what's going on and you haven't done a thing. So it comes to this.
What a ****ing shame.
Just exerpts, but this bonfire is going to need some extra alarms......

169. Oh, they deleted the evidence after it was brought to light here in the lounge
so I don't have it all. But, here's some of it. Too bad I don't have everything they wrote about Skinner. But, it doesn't matter. They can say any damn thing they want to including on another freeper site and he doesn't care.
<snip>
Come and listen to a story about a hag named
A rich snotty narwhal, wanting in her bed
Then one day she was plottin a booty call
...but even WCGreen wouldn't share his balls
Balls that is, old droopy tired balls.
Well the first thing you know a poet extraordinaire
DUers said " we love you and you really care"
Said "the lounge is the place you oughta be"
So she spammed the lounge with her scary poetry.
Lounge, that is. psychos, manics and basement dwellers.
Well now its time to say her pants are really too big.
And they could fit in there so she could sin.
She's passive aggressive and lacking in sympathy
Unless of course it's your money that is missing
Passive aggressive that is. Creepy, Narwhally.
Y'all get it and are no longer hearing 'my dear'.

I never saw that poem before it was posted there at DU. I just noticed that it was to the tune of Beverly Hillbillies.

81. A conservative site that has an entire forum dedicated to trashing DU and it's members. They take great pleasure in finding out and posting real identities and personal info. These people trash DU folks, and give up things they might have found out while under the guise of being a friend. Maybe this has something to do with the different cliques; maybe there's a "mission" to split DU.

160. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Let people know exactly who they're defending and why other people revile them. If we're going to have a war (and it seems inevitable), let it at-least be a well-informed one.
Two unrelated posts I thought went well together.

They said they're leaving the thread opened but it's locked.

It was left open for a while. I think Skinner said he'd lock it some time today, and he did. However, it was a free-for-all for a while.

It's just Lounge drama, that had become Facebook drama, that has spilled back into the Lounge to become Lounge drama. Many tombstones were handed out. Some people were on a forced ignore for a while. As Emerson, Lake, and Palmer once sang..."Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends...."
If all the trolls and moles were gone tomorrow, the terminally-unhappy residents of the DUmp would still be at each others throats.

You're right. It is easy to find. But even here you can't post pics from DU. Someone posted people's real names without their consent, and that was wrong. But that person is an evil cow chasing bitch. So, no surprise really.

The good news is CalPeg isn't pregnant according to a post in the lounge, she just has a little bug.

Not really. I mean, people post their full legal names on Facebook/MySpace/Twitter. What is so wrong with someone posting another person's name on an forum? It's already public information.
If I said, "OMG Susan Johnson is such a ****ing bitch" on this forum, is it really that big of a deal? If people didn't want their "Private" information all over the internet, they should disconnect the internet and sell their computers. Or at least post under an alias and not use social networking sites. That's just my two cents.

I think you are wrong on this one. People on FB who post their names have options of privacy. Those privacy settings are there for a reason. We'll just have to disagree.

Right, but someone would have to know what to go looking for. I have no idea what your name could possibly be, but if someone posted your name and called you out, then there I have it. I will not magically guess your name even if it is on FB. I'd have to be given some kind of clue.

Agreed.
But if Jane & Mary were in an argument on Facebook & post on the same forum, but Jane says Mary's full name on the forum, Mary really can't get too upset considering her name is plastered all over Facebook. If that makes sense. I guess it all depends on the administrator of the forum.
It's NOT okay for someone to post on a forum with the person's full name, address, phone number, place of employment, etc though.
Trust me, I do not hunt down people on a message board. If they put out some small details, it is quite easy to find them with a click of a mouse. There are too many e-stalkers, why add more to this world? lol

No, I know you don't. I will say these 2 people are not friends on FB. In fact the one who posted the other's name doesn't have a FB account.

I could look at the background information, but it's too late, and I'm far too tried. I will indeed check it out later. I just have to know one thing?

The boys and girls at the DUmp are PMSing.......usually comes 3 days before the flood.....21+3=24....24+7=31.....then again in 28 days....ah shoot! I was hoping they would all be in full force PMS mode again during election night.

One of these days when I have some time EC...I will start a thread and recount just exactly what people who don't like me from the interwebz posting my real name has done to me and my family and how it almost affected my career. I used to think like you did.
Now there is a whole online data back up of posts I've made here...at CU and FR along with personal data because someone took exception to something I said one time online and they sent all their little buddies out to get me.

So, I read most of this thread -- Its a keeper !
However, I think it has purpose beyond 'venting' --
They are ratting each other out to the DU Gestapo. Now Skins & Co. know better where to look for the troublemakers.

Ouch! That's a knotted up piece of rope to the balls right there.
Yup, much more of this an Skinner will slam the lid down on those licking out of the toilet bowl. He must be getting visits from the men in black on a regular basis now. (Subpoena those records folk for that libel / defamation suit which could indeed have Mr. Allen in an orange jumpsuit if he makes one wrong turn) :evillaugh: :fuelfire: :evillaugh:
With just this thread under my belt it is hard to know exactly what goes on in all the links posted and I don't plan on making a paper trail to DU from CC. Talk about setting up a mole trap!!
What I will comment on is the ability to find out real ID's. There is no such thing as an anonymous post if someone is determined enough or vindictive enough to spend the time and resources necessary.
Both you and Sparky are excellent examples of that.

Response to Original message
568. Okay, here's the last word. Please read.
I'm glad that everyone got the chance to experience this pointless junior-high-school melodrama first-hand, in real time. But that's the end. No more. We are no longer hosting this crap.
It would be really easy to ban all of the participants in this drama right now,(I'd really love to see that. Forum would be more of a wasteland than it already is) and I know for a fact that there are plenty of people who would like us to do just that. But I said you could have this thread to blow off steam, and I'm not going to ban anyone for what they have said here.
Instead, here's what we're going to do. We have already made it crystal clear that we want this garbage to end. You know where we stand. So this is your chance. Decide for yourself whether you want to be productive members of this community, or not. Starting NOW, anyone who keeps this feud going is going to get banned. It's not a purge. But it can be, if you want. Go tell all your friends. At this point, I don't care who started it, or what "side" you're on, or any of that.
Now, I know what is going to happen next. Someone is going to try to test me. Don't do it! I'm super cereal!11!11111 You're going to post something that looks innocent on the surface, but is actually a dig at the people you don't like. Or else you're going to post something vile on another website about DUers you don't like, spread it around so everyone knows about it, and then show up on DU and pretend you're totally innocent. Or maybe you'll convince one of your friends to do it, because you know the moderators and I are sick of your bullcrap. Perhaps you'll just skip all that and start a new thread to complain about my decision.
The object of this behavior is to either piss off the people you don't like, or to get a reaction from the moderators so you can pretend you're being oppressed. Or both. When you get busted, you'll tell all your friends "all I did was {whatever}" and they'll tell you what a poor innocent victim you are.
If you are thinking of doing something like this, I have a message for you: Go for it. I would really appreciate the opportunity to make an example of somebody. Because I have pseudo balls, dammit!!
Even if it takes six months or a year for someone to dip their toe in again, and start stirring the pot, I'm not going to tolerate it.
You know who you are. Knock it off.
To everyone else, I apologize that I allowed this situation to flare up again.
Now, I'm locking this thread.

DU Admin
PS: We have long had tools such as Hide Thread and Ignore, which people may or may not choose to use. If you are someone who has been involved in this situation and you decide you would like some additional assistance extricating yourself from it, I am willing to help you out by placing you on a mutual forced ignore with anyone you request. All you have to do is send me a private message.

101. What a contribution to the thread CP.
:lmao:
Part of the ruckus over there was about Lefty Flinging Poop asking, literally, to be TS'd. Why would anybody have to ask to be banned? Why not just stop showing up? I don't understand.
Here's a pretty good poem that somebody over there wrote and posted:
Deep inside the mustache
...Under Wilford Brimley's nose
Lives a burping little troll
Nine left fingers and three toes
He brags of his IQ
Which is 42-point-6
And he likes to pop his cork
To Yeti porno pics
He gets to spam Teh Lounge
With endless worthless shit
And the mod we named Teh GOAT
Is a sex-hating hypocrite
David Allen doesn't care
He prefers sickos to TEH GAY!!!11
But stupidly he wonders
Why donations have gone away
Disorders, he has many
And fake friends he has a few
Not counting the dozen in his head
Where he soaks in his own spew
If you ever wonder why
DU became the DUmp
It all comes down to Lefty
Finger-Popping his own crump

:rotf:
Hahaha. There's most likely many reasons DU became The DUmp/Dumor Land. Probably reasons I haven't been around long enough to know.
-
Even if it takes six months or a year for someone to dip their toe in again, and start stirring the pot, I'm not going to tolerate it.
This is rich coming from the guy who continues to tolerate the shit that Will Pitt spews.
Anyone who followed that drama knows that being banned from the DUmp isn't permanent as long as you contribute to $kimmers vacation fund.

If Skinner were smart he would start a Fight Club. Hell, you have to have someplace to burn off some steam sometimes. I think he would keep more posters and he's losing.

I thought that when she came over to CU.
I said "this chick is WAAAY to sane to hang out there"

lol! It was spork or fork, actually!! :tongue:
And I don't remember when I joined here, but I got fed up with DU. I haven't been here very long.
Ah, yes.
One of my more colourful thread titles.

This one was a DUzy. For real though. That Shell Beau is something else. ;)
Let me add that this is one big childish mess. Really. But yeah, Skinner was pissed. Or is.
Hell SOL, I thought they were talkin' 'bout you!!!!
wink, wink

One of these days when I have some time EC...I will start a thread and recount just exactly what people who don't like me from the interwebz posting my real name has done to me and my family and how it almost affected my career. I used to think like you did.
Now there is a whole online data back up of posts I've made here...at CU and FR along with personal data because someone took exception to something I said one time online and they sent all their little buddies out to get me.
That was truly some evil shit right there.

This one really stuck out!

214. Oh, really?
Hey, I've been involved in the DLC. I make no apologies for that. That's how I met Janet Napolitano, who helped me pass a new law protecting victims of domestic violence in New Hampshire.
Misogynistic? Please ask the governmental affairs staff at the NH Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence and the Greater Manchester YWCA about my work on domestic violence policy. Ask the office of victim/witness services, who I helped keep afloat by changing their funding mechanism.
Homophobic? Ask my mentor and best friend from the House, who was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the country. Ask him about my work to save the state hate crimes law from a right-wing attack. Ask him about the op/ed I wrote supporting gay marriage, which surprised people given the fact that I am a socially moderate Catholic.
Abusive? Really? Because I fought back against people who smear good Democrats with rumor-mongering and whisper campaigns?
Whatever. Think what you want.
Cheers.
Self appointed important, anyone?
And this one.........

81. I don't know who is in what clique...
or who likes/dislikes whom. I do know that Lefty was really nice to me when I first joined (as were a couple other people) it's hard being the new kid on the block, he helped make it easier. I'm sorry to see him go.
I can tell there are tensions here in the lounge and other areas, I just don't know all the details. Don't know that I want to either, I finished high school many moons ago.
That being said, I do think it's really sad that he's gone now and there are people that post on this site, that also post on a conservative site that has an entire forum dedicated to trashing DU and it's members. They take great pleasure in finding out and posting real identities and personal info. These people trash DU folks, and give up things they might have found out while under the guise of being a friend. Maybe this has something to do with the different cliques; maybe there's a "mission" to split DU. I don't know. It's just bizarre to me.
Anyway, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Thanks for the opportunity Skinner.
Anyone who spends time here knows the bolded is absolute Bull Shit!!!!!!!!!!
and for cripes sake, can ya fault us for makin' fun of monkeys slingin' poo?????????

Typing something into Google and having all their social networking sites come up isn't my problem. Maybe they should go riot outside of Google headquarters.

Thought I'd post this for our lurkers who can't find their ass with both hands! hehe!

the forced ignores are still intact and will be forever, I think. :shrug:
They are kind of useless at this point because everyone knows that you can hit the printer-friendly icon and read the whole page. Also, one can open another browser and read DU without logging in and see threads that the forced ignores have started. So really the only thing it forces is a non-direct response between the two "forced ignore groups" I think this action may have actually escalated all of this, which was not the intended purpose of the mods and admin when they enacted it but...it is the result anyway.
After all, anything to poke the hornets nest!!!!!!!!

I find this hilarious comin' from the most smartest people in the world!.........
