How much of the turmoil around groups, hosts and DU etiquette is caused by disruptors?

I was never a DU2 mod nor do I have any special insights into what our Admins must tolerate to keep DU thriving, but our new "self-regulated" DU seems to have a lot more problems getting along than DU2.

I wonder how much of that is not honest and earnest concern over DU but attempts to undermine our effectiveness. I'm sure there are members who are alerting out of genuine concern, but it feels like the infiltrators are trying to muck up the works. I have no data to support this.

10. There are a number of organized trolling efforts. n/t

Learn the difference between troll and mole - frank has patiently explained this to you several times.

18. There is a certain ragefulness...

...that the right-winger style projects that is pretty easy to pick-up. Liberals don't generally personally excoriate their peers in blistering terms of personal outrage. The right-wing trolls here are also generally male, and so when you combine those two things it becomes pretty obvious who's not on our side.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sooooooooooooo little self-awareness. Liberalism's strongest defining feature is the refusal to have a calm consideration of facts, but rather to attack the integrity/ethics/moral/appearance &c. of any person having the slightest disagreement with liberalism.

11. I have no facts

No link, and no way of knowing but I'd guess the site does get disrupted by conservative freaks who especially dislike feminism. Even the word sets them off, let alone a whole group.

Someone got shown the door. Someone who was right in the cohost line up, probably in the off site meetings, and pm'ing everyone in the leadership.

Well you're right about one thing - you genuinely do have no facts.

I think what you're actually experiencing is that your brand of feminism is so utterly extreme that even the crypto-(and not so crypto-)Marxists of the DUmp find it out of line.

It's like having a debate with a 9 year old.

Could it be that all the little factions under the big tent of liberalism wants to push their own agenda and screw what everyone else thinks ?  No, surely not, it must be disruptors.

Yeah, right, there's no spitefulness and squibble-squabbling and petty acts of vengeance among "real" DUers. They're a model of propriety and decorum when left to themselves. Just like OWSers would be completely peaceful were it not for agents provocateur.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

DUmbasses, we don't have to instigate anything. All we have to do is sit back and watch. You're like a bunch of monkeys ****ing a football in every endeavor you undertake. It's one of the things that makes you entertaining.

 Or make fun of their names, much as first graders do.  Don't forget that old standby.

:rotf: :lmao:  Are they all going to let him get away with that?  Every thread they have turns into a hairpulling shriekfest.  All of them have each other on ignore.  They're constantly trying to get each other in trouble with Teacher.

Yep, they rarely do anything but run around in circles like their hair is on fire and no one will put it out! The place comes close to burning down every day because a new one gets the angst of the others damn near every day!

DUchebags alert on trolls and get their posts deleted rather than debate to prove the DUmb POV is right. To me that's an awfully big mark that their ideas are all about failure.

What the primitives should know is that the moles are the ones throwing gas on the giant flames of hatred inherent in a regressive's mind and thoughts.

To top it off, they then actually celebrate the deletion or TSing, sometimes starting a separate thread to do so. Which is pretty much tantamount to celebrating their own ignorance.

I bring this over for GOBUCKS, to show what an interesting use of an apostrophe the DUmmie made.

3. As a former moderator, much of what we see here, in H&M

would have been seen either via alert or PM on DU2. I don't think it's disruptive per se',
