Help & Meta question: Is this the proper forum for whining and/or kvetching about Facebook?
Well, specifically, whining and kvetching about a Facebook page that uses Democratic Underground as it's name...

I guess we'll find out:

http://www.facebook.com/groups/2426871461/

I'm a bit offended that our good name has been used by a FB account populated, at least partly, by sad and bitter people who aren't even DU members.

Please let me know if this should have gone to the DU Lounge or not been posted at all.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The Facebook group in question has them posting under their real names...which strikes me as somewhat misguided...top thread there is "Most annoying DU'ers. Ready......GO!"

This after the feminazis set up their "who should we ban next" group off-site...$kammer needs to reign them in, they need to learn that his site is where they're supposed to play.

For people who are supposedly confident in their morality and sure of the righteousness of their cause they sure get upset when exposed outside the echo chamber.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

The comments go back and forth. :panic: :panic:
Some whine about FB, some whine about DU, some whine about the whining on DU. :lmao:

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Now, if they were members of the DUmp it would be a perfect fit.  Add in a heaping tablespoon of hate and ignoran...stupid and it could be a mirror site.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
