Some of our members are being aggressively tracked by members of other sites.
I'm sure you're aware of this.
These idiots are coming in here and reading our people's posts in places (forums and groups) where they are vulnerable.
One of these groups is the Mental Health Support Group.
I'd really like to see that group available only to our registered, logged-in membership.
Somehow, we need to stop the harassment, and I think this would be a great thing to do.
I hope you agree.

1. I am aware of it, and it is disgusting.
Those people are utterly shameless.
Unfortunately, I don't think hiding the Mental Health Group -- or any other sensitive group -- is really the solution here. If we were to require a sign-in in order to view the Mental Health Group, we would be sending the message that the group is "safe" and that messages posted there were private. But the reality is that it would not be safe, and the messages posted there would not be protected. Anyone who wanted to read the posts could simply create an account and then read them.
As harsh as this sounds, I think it is more responsible for the DU administrators to always be completely honest about the risks of posting here: This is a public website, and anything anyone posts here is public, and can be read by anyone who wants to read it. The only way to keep your messages completely private is to not post them.
More sound advice from the ringmaster. Unfortunately (for them not us) Cal Piggy and Nads will never learn.

The only people who would have legal claim against us would be the cable service providers complaining we're unfairly getting all this entertainment for free.
One thing I've noticed about Calpig is that she's uncannily the very first DUmmie to respond to a bouncy.
That whole site is one big attic.

You appear to have an interesting take on history, not surprising, considering the level of ignorance on display within this thread, so for your assignment for class, I task you with researching just which political party it was/is that "ahh" owns the flag in question?
Not that I support either of the two parties, I don't, rather because the vast majority of you intellects are completely erroneous in your conclusions, which couldn't be further from the reality...The party of hate, the one that you drones are mindlessly parroting, is the democratic party, they are the ones that created the KKK, and opposed every effort at liberating black folk from the yolk of democratic party enforced apartheid, and slavery....
The hatred & intolerance on display within this thread, speaks volumes, most of the respondents to this particular topic, have clearly chosen the right & proper political party in which to give loyalty. Remember, all you have to do is look at the true historical record, and then open your eyes to the horror you've cozened up too, then stop with the revolting stupidity as to just who it is that really owns that flag....

CaliforniaPeggy (106,288 posts)For starters...You need to stop the stupid poetry. We've laughed at that many times.

That whole site is one bigattic.
One of these groups is the Mental Health Support Group.
Skins also knows how many ad hits he would lose if access were restricted to almost any part of the island.
Just think about it, Calpig- not only did he turn you down, but he's making money off of you dipshits, too!
The CalPig is batting zero.
First the Dead DUmmy forum, and now the restricted nuthatch.
She doesn't carry much weight with her dear Skimmer.
This whole stupid brouhuahua reminds me of a peril I face daily, because I can't hear.
The primitives are very much like people who go into a public restroom and plant themselves on the commode without locking the door. Every public restroom I've ever used has had a lock, and an operable one (if it doesn't, I just hold it in until later, when I find one that does).
So I come up to a restroom door, and because it's unlocked, and because I can't hear someone from the other side shouting, "Hey, don't come in," I charge in there.....only to be immediately stopped in my tracks by the ridiculous spectacle of someone sitting on the throne, looking at me in shock and embarrassment.
I mumble "sorry," and back out.
And the guy sitting there thinks I'm the jerk for having walked in on him.
Yeah, right; who's the one not using the lock?
This happens all the time, and for some perverse reason, it's my fault.
I also don't get this "aggressively tracked" reference.

Sorry Coach, but I just don't use a public shit hole that often! Hell, I'd rather be constipated than use a public restroom! Ya just don't know who was there before ya. Mighta been a DUmmie!

Good one, sir; awesome.
Now time for miskie to weigh in with his submission.
....yes-hippies who hang out in expensive Manhattan Beach bistros and Marina del Rey brasseries. They read their shitty poetry and essays that still hurl insults at Bush. They drive their Priuses and cluck over whether some Farmer's Market is worth a drive to Pasadena.
I also don't get this "aggressively tracked" reference. If we were on foot following them around in order to slit their throat, or something more aggressive than that, I could see the concern. But just making reference to and commenting on the things they say? Not aggressive at all, and certainly not tracking. If that's aggressively tracking, then the same could be said in reference to the primitives and the comments towards Republicans/conservatives they make that could, and has, incited violent actions to be directed towards those they oppose.
I'd love to hear the poetry the CalPig read at her recent Erotica Night.
She would have posted it at the DUmp, were it not for some pricks who aggressively track her.
I've been saying this for 12 years, since we first started making fun of DUh on Conservative Underground.
1. If you don't like what we have to say, don't read it.
2. Start your own forum and make fun of us. Rather than sputter in indignation over someone goofing on me, I'd find it rather amusing.
3. Grow up. If completely anonymous strangers on an Internet message board making fun of you bothers you that much then you have a very low opinion of yourself.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why a FReepers FUnnies or Best/Worst of CU has never appeared on Skins's island. It seems a reasonable thing to expect, but it's never happened.
I suspect it's because primitives have no sense of humor; they're the sort of grey sour dour prissy people we imagine the Puritans of old New England had been.
I seem to remember a site trying that once. Possibly Old Elm Tree. It didn't last for long.There was the DUmp's Top Ten Conservative whatevers that one of those booger-eating morons used to write. It was the most contrived, unfunny, forced tripe DU had to offer. Just awful, no humor, no wit... only dry, spiteful hate masked as comedy.
But there’s been about a couple dozen instances the eight years I’ve lived here, when I’ve gotten up early, say circa 4:30 or 5:00, and am making coffee in the kitchen or standing on the back porch admiring the scenery of the Sandhills while having a “wake-up†cigarette when, as if out of thin air, some stranger’s walked in on me.

Its easy to make fun of liberal thought and it's underlying insanity.
It is much more difficult to make fun of common sense/conservative thought.
This translates politically as well. A conservative merely needs to tell the truth about a liberal, and it is called dirty politics.
---YET, a liberal will always resort to lies when it comes to either his opponent or his true intentions once in office. Truth and liberalism/socialism simply have no appeal for an educated audience.

....I am not to wild about that idea,because the primary care doctor already told me I am pre diabetic. The Abilify ad says it can cause blood sugar increases and a whole lot more bad side effects....

Really? I read that and I got to say it kind of gave me chicken skin while reading it. I'm out in the country too and when some stranger comes a knockin' I've got a Billy(old wooden baseball bat with nails driven into the barrel so if I clock somebody with it, I have to press my boot onto their skull so as to extract the spikey end out of their cranium) that I keep next to the door for just an occasion. That is if the stranger is not friendly. haven't had occasion to use it yet, but there have been time when I was reaching for it while determining the situation. You have strange people wander onto your property regularly, Frank?
Coming from you, this is laughable.
You know what's shameless, David? Hosting a forum for a bunch of anti-capitalistic malcontents, then shamelessly begging for donations and selling ad space on the same forum, to the point where it actually allows you to quit your day job and support yourself and the other two miscreants in your little gang of idiots.
If hypocrisy was a country, you'd be the Grand Vizier.

Drama queens never fail to amaze me with how far they will go to get attention. If we here actually wanted to do someone harm then I'm certain that one would find a way.
We here on CC are not like that but plenty of DU members are. Just ask TRG about what real harrasment is like when people call your chain of command and spread lies about you. Unfortunately some of it came from some claiming to be conservative and supporters of Ron Paul.
So for future reference DUmpmonkies you may want to spend time looking in a mirror to find your answers about who is causing you grief.
I remember the Clown Posse. What a crazy bunch! :mental: There were many victims.
Wasn't there also some love triangle going on there, too?
Yes, there was. Not going to say much of it. O-)
Bird sex was involved. Don't ask anymore.
My memory is vague because I sometimes go away for long stretches of time. Not to manage my actual LIFE, mind you, but to go on the road to stalk DUmmies. Because they're so INTERESTING, you see.
Bird sex was involved. Don't ask anymore.
And wabbits, too.

One of them was working in the Registrars office at West Point. That's how they got so much info on me and were able to contact my chain of command via military email.
Let's not forget mike_c tried to do the same thing...and failed just as miserably.
That's terrible. Are they still around? Who was TRG?
A lot of us here were not around at that time.

Then there was Democratic Warrior. BigJer was their fearless leader. I think skimmer shut em down because they TS'd ex DU mod that was a mole. He spilled all of the inside dirt about cliques, about who could or could not get banned, who could say anything that they wanted, etc...
True.

As for Liberal Underground, They had a poster that went by liberalGuy (liberaldude?). I would have booked him a flight on wellstone's plane if he would have wallduded himself. I know that he was a DU outcast.
DW is still there...trust me. :-)
Thanks.
I noticed that Red Neck Girl made an appearance.
I was correct. It was LiberalGuy. FN idiot.
LiberalGuy is nuts. I remember many DUmmies hated him. :mental:
When I met up with a couple gals from here in person a while back, one of them mentioned that Liberal Guy was stalking her for a while. :mental:
Do you have any video/sound/light monitors?
The reason (for me) that some of their posts are so interesting is how they will medicate anything and everything rather than simply trying to fix it.
An example is this http://www.democraticunderground.com/11514473 where the DUmmy says he/she is 'pre diabetic' and discusses how a drug for her/his depression/anxiety/GBLT/PTSD (or whatever alphabet combo is popular with them today) raises blood sugar, but does not mention exercise and/or diet adjustment to counteract that 'pre diabetes'Some conditions can be reversed by changing what one does and/or eats. It isn't always necessary to jump right onto the medication bandwagon.
That would require actual effort though.
