Why I will never participate in Discussionist
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024976501 <--- Link to DU thread
This thread, right here:
http://www.discussionist.com/10156634#post3 <--- Link to DU Jr. thread.
If they can get away with using pejoratives against the Democratic Party with no repercussions, there can be no civil discussion with them. Thus there is no point in even attempting it.
Wait... what?

3. Yes. But we have our own uncivil retorts to fling back.
I think the point is to stop using all of those terms here if we're going to make it work.
Active juries for a while though...
The whole hub-bub is about saying "Democrat Party".

Resolved: the term "Democrat Party" is uncivil and offensive

3. I'm glad you brought this up. As a fairly longtime DUer, what was/is the point of that site?
Maybe I didn't read the intro materials but I don't need to see, hear, read abuse. I come here for safety and learning and support.
wait for it...

6. The point is for Skinner to hopefully make some money
why do you think he started DU?

15. Years ago I made the decision to call them ReTHUGs until
they stop the 'Democrat ' insult.
You can't really make this shit up, folks. I am just suprised they haven't found a way to make saying Democrat Party racist.

What a bunch of wimps! They're over there saying all sorts of ChimpyMcCokeSpoon stuff but if we say Obumbler they start crying and slamming the alert button.
And then they walk away and say we can't be civil and they're winning the debate.
They're nuts and that's the way I address them.

I come here for safety and learning and support.
And that's the summary of their existence (minus the learning because DU offers nothing worth learning except how stupid they are).
If the Discussionist site were to ever even out 50/50 instead of 99/1 the way it is now, the primitives would run for the hills.

Taking offense at "democrat party" is a very recent development that seems to be a side effect of the Bush Derangement Syndrome.
My earliest recollection of grownups talking about politics would be during the Eisenhower administration.
These were lifelong Roosevelt democrats, and they invariably referred to the "democrat party".
To say "democratic party" would have been considered an awkward affectation, and that was the case clear up until the crazies took over the democrat party after 9/11.
Anyway, it's nice that the sissyboy moonbats take offense. It makes them look weird and funny.
-
Ha Ha! I can't believe they're all butthurt over "democrat party." I use it every chance I get.
Oddly enough, being called a Rethug or a Repuke or a TeapubliKKKan does not make my head explode.

Whenever given a chance they always prove themselves to be lunatics and infants.

Strange.
Republicans are members of the Republican Party. The Republican Party is made up of Republicans.
Following the above, Democrats are members of the Democrat Party, and the Democratic Party would be made up of Democratics.
Of course, considering the fact that DUmmies are pathological liars AND considering the fact that there is nothing about them that is democratic, it is understandable that they insist on being referred to as the Democratic Party. Regardless, the DUmmies are sure to put the "ICK" in any party.
Maybe we just need to start referring to them as the DemonRatTicks again.

You know, some days ago there began accusations on Discussionist that the Discussionististas are "obsessed" with Skins's island.
But if one surveys the topics on Skins's island, it looks to me that the primitives are more obsessed with Discussionist, than the Discussionististas with Skins's island.

Good Lord, what kind of pathetic loser seeks safety from any website?
And of all the thousands of websites on the Big Wide Internet, why would someone choose the DUmp for support or learning?
I know, I know: To ask the question is to answer it.

I believe the purpose of peddling the new forum to primitives is so Skins & Co. can iron out the bugs before they start selling the software.

It's apparently what Skimmer's half-witted flunkies were working on when they were supposed to be setting up the Dead DUmmy forum.

Given that the DUmp is just a bunch of old,white,filthy hippies can one blame him for trying something to keep the vacation fund alive.

No, not at all. I laugh, all the harder, when I see it. Especially when you jumble up the letter sizing: rEtHUGlIKKKaN!!!!11111eLeBinTy!!!! See?
Cracks me up every time.

Fact-challenged retards, who curl up in a ball and rock back and forth moaning, when their faulty worldview is exposed for the lie that it is.

That's what I was going to say. I don't call them Democrats, or Democratics. I call them what they are: Communists.
(BTW, For what it's worth, my spellchecker doesn't like "Democratic", either. :lmao:)

BTW I was just listening to the news and it wasn't FOX and they were talking about the voting last night. They all referenced the candidates as Democrat or Republican. What's the damn problem?? :rant:

28. It feels like a conflict of interest to me...
Especially with the upcoming elections. It changes how I feel about the owners of DU. It's hard to believe that they've decided to provide a place for cavers and freepers to bash democrats, women, gays and minorities while spewing republican claptrap. Ugh.
Prove it DUmbass. Show me a genuinely bigoted post. Of course, we reserve the right to bash democrats wherever we are.

43. I support his decision...
...to start another website and make all the money he can.
What I don't agree with is his apparent decision to distance himself from Democrats. I think he should embrace DU and the brand equity it offers, and brand Discussionist as an offshoot of DU. The open discussion platform is a good one. The welcome mat for trolls is a little disturbing.
Look at the marketing soooooper genius. He's all hurt that Skinner doesn't have a purity test at the DU Jr.

46. Oh my god! They called it the the "Democrat party"!
That is the most offensive thing I've ever heard! Thankfully, the DU is here for people who want to have a civil discussion about "repukes" (because, of course, name calling is civil as long as people we don't like are being called names)

48. This is a Democatic board. "repukes" is allowed here.
:lmao: :mental: Do they even read what they write?
Frank mentioned mid-year DOTY considerations. This MohRokTah has caught my attention of late. Pure insanity.

Through an accident of English grammar, "Republican" is both a noun and an adjective, while "Democratic" is simply an adjective, and "Democrat" is its counterpart noun. The distinction is completely lost on the DemonRats at DU, of course, since they are functionally illiterate.

"Brand equity" :rotf:

124. What a bunch
of thin-skinned, hypocritical crybabies. We don't use it as a pejorative. We use it because you get all butthurt over it. And then spend valuable time and energy discussing it.
And then, you people think you're all cute and witty when you say Rethug, Teapukelicans, etc. It's really humor for eight year olds.

I love it when Rush refers to them as the democrat party. Must make their heads assplode.

Of course they wouldn't know what he says unless they listen to him faithfully :-)

I liked it when the dummies started calling people "republics". They tried and tried and tried to offend the republicans and, as usual, they fell flat on their face. Blew some dummies minds when folks of the GOP party started referring to themselves as republics.
Biggest bunch of whiney asses I ever seen in my life.
