BantheGOP is dead. The irascible little crumpet has finally been flung away like yesterday's news.
(http://s24.postimg.org/rwf2a0qh1/ban_banned.jpg)
In fact, it was my doing. As many of you suspected, rightly so, BantheGOP was a mole. The DOTY award winner notwithstanding, the end of the era is nigh.
Now, Ban wasn't a mole that was a "true" mole, in the sense that a true secret agent completely assimilates into the mix. Steve Dawes, for instance, would most probably be the ultimate mole if he were to suddenly bust a gut and say, "I love Reaganomics!" To be blunt, the time didn't exist for such an incursion, nor, frankly, a desire.
No, Ban was the ultimate paradigm to the great Rush's philosophy of "Illustrating absurdity by being absurd." And absurdity was the goal, and deservedly so. For the DUmp is nothing short of the Olympic Training Center for the Darwin Awards.
While a true mole has longevity and huge quantities of vote counts, Ban the GOP was frugal. With barely over a thousand posts, perhaps a week's worth in Steve Dawes' or Stinky the Clown's world, Ban made it known that absurdity was a contact sport. The fact remains that most of the responses to subject positions I posited as Ban was shock and awe and hatred; yet, in virtually every case I could have easily found a thread where worse positions on the subject were posted and minions responded to with great glee. So what was the difference?
I would like to think that the difference was not just in response to the usual rantings. I would like to think that the responses to my posts were FEAR. Abject fear as to what is waiting for them down this Socialist Utopia road they have embarked on. This one's very subtle, but to be blunt, DUmmies revel in wallowing in their own socialist masses. They love the company of others...but some have real fear. And Ban just came right out and addressed EXACTLY where they were going to end up, and I believe that is the difference.
In other words, in my absurdity, which was intended as such, I wanted to show how the end results of their actions would coalesce, starting from the absurd, in your face user name. For in reality, the end game for socialists IS to destroy the Republican Party, from whence the Tea Party and fundamentalist conservatives and libertarian-thinking individuals would be suppressed. BantheGOP's and GOPCongress' thoughts are exactly the same in that regard.
(I'm sure there were a lot of behind-the-scenes counter agitation also directed against Ban in the room by our other agent moles, but I digress.)
I admit, that I spent $5 a year for the privilege. Originally, it was $10, so I tallied up, and actually see I spent $20, and had one subscription bought for me in appreciation. Thank you, my dearest lovely DU "piggy"-kins... you know who you are! (I won't release that name, as it was a private donation and even in DUmpland I retain my confidentiality. Suffice to know she will have to deal with it once she lurks here.)
Finally, as "Dummy of the Year" I will come forward. In fact, when it was elected I was quite shocked, to be honest. (My own vote as GOP Congress voted for someone else.) I greatly appreciate the honor, and in fact was not in for the glory of the award, but the absurdity of the DUmpster. The fact that I was voted upon by people here who had NO IDEA that I was the mole, I do apologize for the ruse. Charles Hendrickson, to his credit, downplayed the win as such in his own column, which was appreciated as it allowed me to go on just a little bit longer.
In any case, the end of the era is hence. It's been a lot of fun, and now I can just be a reg here in CC with no stake in the DUmp. With the $5 year saved, I should save up for my retirement. But may the eulogies begin.
BanTheGOP is DEAD. Dead, I said. DEAD!

franksolich heartily endorses this message.
You did good, pal!
-
Well played dood!
-
OMG were you BantheGOP?
-
Did you get any DUmmy hate mail?
-
Wow. That was enthralling. I would love to hear more about the exploits of BAN. I would love to hear insider tricks of the trade as well.
My question for now is, how did you get caught ?

-
Will you try contacting the administrators to be reinstated just for s*its and giggles?
-
Wow! Nicely played, sir! :cheersmate:
-
....and I swallowed the bait, the hook, the sinker, the line, the rod and most of the boat. You were very believable.
:cheersmate:

I believe he should, just to see what happens.
<<am willing to send my own g-mail to my fellow alum Skins who, because of our old school tie, is likely to be sympathetic.
-
I was thinking on it, but it would be a bit more unlikely to get reinstated than a news station falling for wacky Asian names for pilots of crashed planes.
EDIT: Now that I've outed myself, it wouldn't do any good anyway.
-
Damn it you glorious bastage!
-
If that's the case, then I suggest in the future if anyone here has a mole that's nominated for DOTY, PM either frank or Ralph and let them know your mole has been nominated but you don't want to accept any votes. Either of those two can be trusted here to keep your secret, of that I'm confident. That way you retain your anonymity and we can avoid having moles in the top 20.

Yeah, but did you "Own it" ?

That is a good point. It was frankly a puzzling point to me because, to be blunt, I didn't want anyone to know. All I could do was try to downplay Ban's candidacy as someone who, because of a lack of quantity of posts, should not be considered.
To that end, I suggest a post count minimum to DOTY, with perhaps a special award to outrageous moles like Ban.
-
STUNNING!
:rotf: Ban even signed up here and hassled us with 2 posts.
Now I gotta go back and dig up my DOTY votes.
-
Cool. So you made fools of the gullible folks here who voted the mole DOTY.
They were warned and warned, repeatedly, but fools are hard to dissuade.
Way to go. Something to be proud of.
If it's true, you're a jerk.
But DUmmies lie, all the time, and that's what I think you are.

A bit uncalled for? (Shrugs) Never mind.
CC gets lurkers all the time. The point is that if they (the DU lurkers) suspected anyone it would have been me. To that end, my posts couldn't have obviously blazed that particular trail.
And let's be honest. Most everyone here has intelligence that surpasses >98% of DUmmieland. How in hell could I be one of THEM?
That's my only defense. If you are still pissed, fine, but "playing" is relative. Unlike DU, CC has nothing to hide as to our opinions. As I said I was surprised that Ban got DOTY, and in fact tried to vote against it, but couldn't reveal myself without giving credence to the lurkers.
-
It was uncalled for, GOBUCKS. Maybe you're taking the DOTY contest a little too seriously. What does it really matter? There's no money on the line.
GOPCongress, congrats on the mole run, and for keeping us entertained in a creepy way. I thought it was a nice touch that you signed up here, and that you wrote that letter to the editor that one time. Character development.
-
Well played, sir. Well played, indeed.
-
Well played !
I am particularly impressed with how BTG was spread about on several sites, creating a nice, easy-to-follow paper trail of legitimacy.
As I type this, I'm certain that the paper trail is on fire now, as every liberal site BTG was part of Locks, Bans, and deletes it all - but still, well done.
-
I gave up moling after my last 4 year old one was pizza'd a couple of months ago. I can read their shit and post it here, but I can no longer dive that deeply in the sewer pretending to be one of them. The strange thing was, that mole was a model moonbat in every category except guns. I guess I just left one too many of their big donors sputtering and frothing.

I know, Freeper.
Dandi, would you ever tell? Or do you have plans for it?
-
I knew BantheGOP was a mole, but I did not think he was a member here. This has to be one of the most successful DU mole I have seen. So, are there any hidden stuff at DU?
-
OK, now who's TheMastersNemesis? (looks around . . .) :-)
-
I know, Freeper.
Dandi, would you ever tell? Or do you have plans for it?
Oh it was just a minor character, sylvi, probably not noticed by anyone here because I kept such a low profile. Spent a lot of time in the Gungeon, smacking gun grabbers.

I confess, all my DU moles are the ones with names that contain the word rabbit, hare, and bunny.
I have no DU moles.

Okay, might as well - I'm not surprised you finally were TS'd, your posts tended to be way over the top by non-DUmp standards and almost every post you made there went to a jury but you weren't subtle enough for me to ever think you were the real thing.
And I suspected you were one and the same, and at first I thought it was only because both names contained "GOP" within them. At that point, I thought you were probably a more intelligent than usual paultard, then I searched around, and eliminated that notion ...
You DID make a couple of mistakes - for one thing, you promoted your DUmmy alt way too often, once calling him "brilliant". And a long time ago, you said something about visiting Louie Armstrong's house in LA and playing with his grandchildren. He had no children and hadn't lived in California since the 1930s.

Fair enough. As said, it wasn't a "mole" in the sense of trying to fully fit in the DU culture, so it were. I never did try to be subtle, but was an "in-your-face" poster to do exactly what I set out to do: "Illustrate absurdity by being absurd." Frankly, the point WAS to be as over-the-top without getting the ax. That was only my second jury "hide it", though; I"ve had several jury "leave it alones" as well.
Intelligence is relative, but I did have a modicum of fun, knowing that lurkers came here all the time so many of my posts were directed to them. And the Satchmo story was simply to deflect their bearings in case their MIRT team investigated this forum, along with a dozen or so other tales that have absolutely no basis in reality. Stories that sound like they fit the narrative are gobbled up like cheetos in DU anyway.

Now that's good stuff right there. That fits right into libs stolen valor and stolen memories mime they constantly use.

While I voted for the bald dwarf, still tore into some of ban's posts.
My moles never go that over the top so took you to be in vain of one of the more insane DUmmys before the great Hillary purge. A completely different technique than I use. Well played.
-
Wow. That was enthralling. I would love to hear more about the exploits of BAN. I would love to hear insider tricks of the trade as well.
My question for now is, how did you get caught ?
One of my typical over the top blathering about the need for whites to pay permanent reparations to blacks via the IRS. I had stated that, because of the hundreds of years of racist oppression, whites owed blacks forever. It was a bit strong, I admit, but I've done harsher. The reality is that racism can never go away until we get rid of democrats, as they need this permanent schism to exist. I identified the exact problem, except I blamed the GOP and not the progressives. In fact, we never WILL get rid of racism until we get rid of the socialists, as has been demonstrably shown in the Zimmerman case.
It got hidden in a 4-2 decision; while it was only my 2nd jury fail, it was probably enough to get them to look.

You know, I remember seeing that campfire (but forgot it was you) before it was hidden, but alas I was busy with something else, and didn't have a chance to bring it over here.
Damn, you were awesome.

If FREEPER calls somebody grouchy...
:panic:

H5! :bow:
Good job moling them and us too! I think you might have won the internet today.

In the middle of all of this last year, I wondered in "BantheGOP" was either GOPCongress or Freeper for some reason . . . Freeper said something Ban said almost word-for-word, but it was just that one thing.

This why I went through a phase of thinking you were a paulbot because those people would set up forums where they would pretend to be some other candidate's supporters and they ALL had the same mocking tone you had at the DUmp. It just amazed me when the DUmmies all seem to be oblivious to the fact that you were making fun of them.
But then, I figured you couldn't be a paultard because they never go solo and you didn't post nearly enough. I almost tried to out you here but then thought to leave it alone because that might have ended up benefitting nadin even if I was right.

What's done can't be undone. Sorry.
It does nothing to injure the sterling reputation of the Top DUmmies awards anyway.
In response to the question below yours, the #02 Top DUmmie of 2012 was a tie, between the cousin and the Taverner primitive.

Interesting what you can find when you google "BantheGOP" :-)

Totally fooled. At least I'm not like the DUmmies that think their MIRT team is the greatest thing since shoelaces.
-
Magnificent! ^Hi5! Well played indeed. You used the DU group-think/thought control against them.
What is more fun is we can sit back and have a good laugh about this. The DUmmies dare not say a word. They can't discuss being played for fools, or even lie claiming, "I knew it all along."
Hats off for even coming here as GOP and doing a perfect impression of a DUer drive by.

Kind of a shame the meta forum is shut down over there. :whatever:
It would be endless comedy about now.

:rotf:
I brought that one over here.
Actually when I read it, to me it was a typical "Here's a primitive finally saying what the left believes behind closed doors they can't dare say in public." I read too many other liberal blogs and pol sites where that type of thing is said regularly, but on Skin's island they tend to shy away and sanitize what they truly believe because they know they're being watched.

I am going to go on a bit of a rant here, so hold on and stop whining like little pussies.
As you may well know I have been ****ing with DU since I first found our old home in early 2005. I have had over time several moles hidden deep into the framework that is DU. I suspect there are a few you would know. I have found that in order to be successful at moling I had to take my gut reaction to anything and reverse it 180 degrees and let shit fly.
For example, in the Zimmerman trial when the young woman got up and made a complete mockery of our society, I felt like saying, "Holy ****! This is what 40 years of Liberal education and Black Welfare has caused!" instead I said, "She is just speaking her dialect, and if you don't get it you are racist!"
Now, the rant part; I am all for ****ing with the DUmp monkiez. In fact I often feel like the world would be ever so much better if they were to be 'wellstoned'. I often feel like I would be perfectly happy to assist int he firing squads should the totalitarian state they work so hard to create arives and they are the first up against the wall. However, Be creating a mole so over the top as Ban the GOP we are simply feeding into their own dilusion that all the 'crazies' are really right wing moles.
Now, whenever cali or nadin or any of the other misfits at the site for looniez and ****ing psychos say anything so over the top that it makes national mention they can say, "Oh, that was just an 'Agent Provotatoatiers!!!111!!!' So, I am torn by the announcement that Ban the GOP is, in deed, a VRWC TROLL. We should allow the DUmp t6o be it's own crazy self and not be leading them into darkness. They have that ability already. Allow them to shock the world with their nuttiness. Don't cause it.
Oh... and bitchslaps for everyone.
-
You bring up good points, Dutch, but let me expand on my original reasons for the degree of mole that was used.
First of all, the mole I used was never supposed to be a real "mole," in the sense where you couldn't tell a mole from someone like, say, Stinky the Clown. Someone who would literally have no reason to be considered as "radical" as Ban. In fact, it was supposed to represent the END RESULT of progressive policies. In fact, "progressive" is PRECISELY the word that describes these yahoos on DU, because they "progressively" accept socialist doctrine at incremental dosages.
There is an old saying: To boil a frog, you just can't throw it in boiling water. If you throw it in the scalding water, it will IMMEDIATLY jump away once it makes contact with the surface of the boiling water, with the result the frog is not boiled. So how to do it? You have to put it in mild water, tepid, so that the frog will accept and in some ways be comforted by the water. Then heat the water SLOWLY, occasionally pausing the heating process as the frog agitates a bit more. Once the frog settles down, apply the heat more and more. The frog will agitate every now and then, but never show enough resolve to get out of the water. As more heat is applied, the frog becomes "progressively" acclimated, until it is so weak, that you can turn the heat up at a greater rate, and boil the frog.
BantheGOP represents the "throw the boiling frog into the water" effect. In short, the issues posited by Ban were extreme, and stupid sounding, EVEN to the rank-and-file DU idiots. That was my intent, and my purpose. Now, MIRT and company are looking for these frog boilers all the time, but I had the advantage in that, as a libertarian-minded individual, I understand the end result of every progressive position, while the DU minions have very little clue, so I was able to repeatedly flirt with that edge time after time...over a thousand posts.
But I ALSO know that outsiders come and look at DU. Lurking, perhaps, but I'd like to think that these people may have seen some of Ban's posts. I do not use the feelings-oriented adjective "extreme," but rather, I use the objective adjective phrase "logically conclusive" in describing the result of progressive positions, and tailor the posts around Ban's rhetoric to effect that vision. In this way, I'd like to think that some people on the left who still had a modicum of intelligence could somehow connect the two, and hasten their decision to repel the left's progressive tenets. Of course, such an action can never be quantified or even reasonably estimated; it's more a "gut feeling" on my part based upon human nature in general.
As an example: The post that broke the camel's back, so it were, was about describing how whites should be perpetually in debt to blacks for the remainder of time, and should pay money all the time for this shame. While it was widely poo-poohed, and in fact got me banned, this yo-yo came out with what is now credible leftist propoganda:
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1W-UT1sr4E[/youtube]
This person's recommendations for whites to always "check their privilege" (in addition to telling everyone to constantly give money to black causes) is PRECISELY the reasons I gave in that last post! Now, I had posted before the Zimmerman verdict, and this rally had been conducted as a result of the verdict. In short, had I posted what I did AFTER this video (and of course would have referenced it in the post), the original post itself wouldn't have been judged as extreme.
Now, that's not Monday morning quarterbacking, per se, but had I not been banned, I would have included this video in the thread, or start a new thread if the topic were banned with this video. There were dozens of similar situations.
Anyway, I hope this more comprehensive analysis made things less muddy. Probably not, but what the heck, I'm old-school and think that digital identities are not worth the pixels they are written on.
-
I find it humorous, not so much for the outrageous BantheGOP OP's, but for the reaction he would evoke from the left, in particular all the people who would agree with him.
-
in particular all the people who would agree with him.
Yes indeed, let's not forget that. There were plenty of "+1 K&R!"s to go around. I can't believe that there are some people I respect who are getting all bent out of shape about this.
