Oh my.

I'm sure the twin means "moles" rather than "sockpuppets," but never mind.

2. Ummm... I don't know who you're addressing this to, because I'm pretty sure

everyone agrees there are sockpuppets on DU.

7. Plenty of poster over the years have insisted you're just paranoid and self-important...

...if you really believe anyone cares enough to "infiltrate" a place like DU. You don't have to care, Meemie...I just found it to be an interesting read and thought I'd share.

12. I have never seen a post that states there are no sockpuppets on DU.

I have seen people claim others are paid posters, zombies, etal, depending upon where one lies on the political spectrum. Ignore them and they go away.
 
This is not something that should be surprising to anybody who hangs out on the Internet.

14. Good for you. I'm happy for you.

I'll keep that in mind next time I read a post from an obvious sock puppet -- "ScreamingMeemie has never seen anyone say there are no sock puppets on DU." Well, that certainly clears that up! Nothing to see here, everybody. Meemie says move along!

And again with the stalkers bit.

DUmmies, when you put it out there and someone points and laughs about it, it's NOT, repeat NOT, stalking.

They don't get it, though.

They want so badly to be "victims" of other people, rather than victims of their own stupidity.

There's some things in life that don't change.  DUmp stupidity is one of those.

I read this somewhere else about two days ago.  IIRC, it's innuendo and mostly anonymous claims, at that.

Hey, Scat,

What thought scares you more:

People moling for money

or doing it for free for the sheer sadistic delight of watching you idiots get wrapped up in your own insanity?

They absolutely love the idea that there are paid moles...it implies that the DUmp is worth undermining because it's an important part of the Democrat Party. The reality that they're utterly insignificant, and the reason to mole is for the sheer amusement at the moonbattery, isn't what they like to imagine.

Just because there are moles and sock puppets on DU doesn't mean you aren't paranoid and self-important, Toast.
