From the "closed" Facebook Group comes this little gem: (DU names used where possible)
Whoa_Nelly
Well. This explains a lot about certain people at DU
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/online-trolls-are-psychopaths-and-sadists-psychologists-claim-9134396.html
Online trolls are psychopaths and sadists, psychologists claim
independent.co.uk
Canadian researchers have confirmed what most people suspected all along: that internet trolls are archetypal Machiavellian sadists.
Let the :fuelfire: begin...

I don't have a degree in psychology and I could have said the same thing, and gotten paid for it!

Just had seen this article earlier and then saw your comment or post in sidebar so responded. Not going to go on the DU as I saw quickly not my cup of tea. Dealing with this situation esp in relation to the "guilters" haters of Amanda Knox. In that case i add misogyny to the list.

i gave up giving money to du. been a paid member since 2002 and the shit i read in gd is`t worth my money. there`s just a few people who have poisoned me with their personal hangups. i`ll still post in a few forums if i can avoid certain members. i have this page , many others on facebook ,and blogs that i read and post on.

On DU it's becoming common because of the lack of moderation (and the old mod system had some serious flaws but it still beat the pants off of the new system where random "juries" make even more random decisions on trolly behavior.)

The bad thing about DU is that sometimes even having an opinion that even mildly strays from the majority gets you flamed as if you campaigned for Mitt Romney and slept with Karl Rove both. Half the time I don't get the crap that does pass for news there. I post less and less. It certainly isn't the awesome place it was when I first got there back in 2002.

Right now they are on a white-night every other thread kick. I have no idea what that even means, and probably will be sorry if I ask or find out.

Good find, TxRadioGuy!

My guess it is some euphemism about men...Knight on a white horse maybe.

If they're blaming Pitt...then I'm guessing it has to do with this thread:

This is complicated. According to the fems on DU, a white-knight is a derogatory term used by anti-fem men for men that support the fems' point of view.
From what I can decipher, the anti-fem men don't really use that term, but it's implied, according to the fems.
Yeah, I know...... :panic:

They say that, but then when they get booted off they come crawling back again under a different user name.

white knight, mangina, beta, and omega are types of males commonly described in the manosphere. The other three are variants of betas.
A beta is a typcal nice guy. He listens to the girl talk about her day, bitch about her friends, complain about life, while being gentle and supportive, perhaps buying her things to show her he has money. All in an effort to get laid while ignoring that his behavior is ultimately undoing any real chance of that.
A white knight will defend the behavior of women, even if said behavior is indefensible, he may say it is in the spirit of equality, but it isn't honest. Some of Will Pitt's screeds paint him as a white knight.
Manginas are a lot like white knights except that instead of "valiantly defending the right of a woman to behave like a drunken sailor" they commiserate with women and talk about how unfair it is and how somebody needs to do something to make it so men can "feel women's pain".
An omega falls into two categories. Type 1 is a mess, He is utterly unable to hold a conversation with a normal woman. Type 2 is potentially dangerous, since he can't live within societal rules he may try to make his own rules and decide to take what he wants. Fortunately, omegas are a very small percent of the population.
I have been around the manosphere lately, maybe licking my wounds, maybe trying to learn some things. I have encountered those terms quite a bit lately.

Gee,.....and all it took was the 2 x 4 of LIbEral ProgreSsive Fundamentalism upside the head for 12 years for you to figure that out.
Take a cookie.

Thanks for explaining all that. What's happening to our lexicon? It's getting ridiculous.

Yeah. The confusion arises because 2/3 of them are too illiterate to know that 'Knight' is spelled with a 'K.'

lol @ white night.... guess that would be an evening in the middle of a circle of fruity primitives. Pitt stain would most likely have better success there.
