the DUmpster discombobulates a primitive

Oh my.

Not intentionally, of course; we're nice people.

Something to consider...

A while back I made a mistake...an Internet mistake.

You see I made an OP in GD talking about a disappointment associated with my line of work. And in that OP I shared some generic info about where I am and what I do - no specifics, mind you. I think that OP got 4 maybe 6 replies...I'm not widely followed on DU (or anywhere else for that matter) so it faded back into the depths of DU and I never really looked back.

Until one day I was notified about a post on my place of employments Facebook Page saying nasty things about me and how I supposedly feel about my customers...I was shocked! I went immediately to check it out and there was included in the post a link to my DU post!

I did a quick internet search to see where this was coming from...and on the 3rd page of the google search off my name and other info included in the posting came a link to the Conservative Cave. I had no Idea that there is place where people just watch DU and complain.

My CC thread had 70+ replies to it and 1,000's of views! Most of it was about how stupid I was, and the process of figuring out who I am, and then it got nasty...The set out with the sole purpose of getting me fired! The sent copies of my OP to my boss, board of directors, people I do business with, the Artist in question, his agent, etc...I was freaking right the **** out! They were high fiving each other and reminiscing about all the other times they got people fired from their jobs - they called it wallduding based on a DUer they got fired during the W years.

I had ****ed up...I expressed a personal opinion about my public job and gave just enough info for them to piece it together. And one Cave dweller had it right...I was bragging about my job and my place, etc...the funny thing is no one on DU was impressed and and it could've cost me my job.

How did it turn out? I still have my job. I immediately spoke to everyone of importance involved with my job. I told I know what I did was stupid and vowed to not share my politics in regards to my job ever again. They were taken aback that I was so upfront and honest with them instead trying to hide or run - I brought to their attention because at that point they had heard nothing about it.

My point in sharing this is...you are being watched by people who wish you harm. They want you to suffer and don't care about your family. So be careful what you say and the amount of info you give...

<<doesn't wish any primitive any harm; simply quotes primitives  in their own words.

Anyway.

Apparently the primitive's whining about this:

Jorno67, ignorant of the singer's political beliefs, books Ray Stevens
 
Maybe he's in the wrong line of work in the wrong town:

Well This just ruined my day!!!!

So like I've said before I'm the GM for a 1500 seat theatre in Central Illinois. This a very conservative community to the extent that it would hurt ticket sales if people knew for sure that me and my boss were as liberal as we are. We know such acts like Ted Nugent would sell out here very quickly but have pledged never to book him. We are starting up our 3rd season next month with an act that I remember enjoying as kid - Ray Stevens. You remember "The Streak", right? Well it seems funny man has turned into a serious right wing teabagging Asshole!

As I checked it out - he's got a lot of anti Obama stuff out the past few years.

This makes me want to puke!

Too bad for the primitive; all that was done was quoting the primitive's own words.

Oh.  That guy.

...the funny thing is no one on DU was impressed

I wish them harm.

[franksolich]

I wish them harm.

Well, but I wouldn't be particularly disappointed--if I even noticed it--if a primitive were pancaked by a semi-truck in some blue city.

The primitives don't ever seem to understand.

There's free speech in America.

Which is great; it's good to have that.

But on the other hand, there are consequences to things one says, and so one should weigh the possible consequences before shooting off one's mouth.

^^that's the part the primitives don't get.

<<always acutely aware there's consequences to what says, and tries to prepare for them.

Well DUmmie, now you know, and you know what the funny thing about it is?

We ain't the only ones right.

When you insist on saying stupid things some folkes pay attention.

[franksolich]

We ain't the only ones right.

When you insist on saying stupid things some folks pay attention.

Oh my yes.

There's lots and lots of people and other message-boards watching the primitives, mostly for light entertainment and diversion.

We're just one of them.  I wish I could say we're one of the larger ones of them, but I can't.

[BadCat]

Hey moonbat...guess what?


We're not done with you yet.

In fact, they're famous for it. There are other sites that are just as bad. Sometimes, a cease and desist letter from an attorney can do some good. It has for me, in the past. People will go and dig out stuff you wrote, even if you wrote it many years ago, take it out of context, and hound you with it, sometimes for a very long time. It seems endemic to the Internet.  

[Mr Mannn]

Hey Journo! Don't trash talk people you work with, or the place you work at and you'll be fine.
It's a sign of maturity to RESPECT the people/business you work for.

But take this revelation as a sign.
You need to get together with Cali and open up a restaurant: The Earwig Cafe.

Here, the mineral oil primitive's referring to OldElmTree, the refuge for anti-0bama primitives.

He should ask Steve Dawes how well that works.

It did work in his case, though, because the elmers were disseminating all sorts of false information about him.

In the cases of the big guy and this loud-mouthed primitive, all that was done was quoting the primitive's own words.

Whooopppeeee-shit.

Living around a lot of democrats, the above quote is very relevant for me and describes THEM to a "T".

I know you'll read this, jorno.

There was an important lesson to be learned. Did you learn it? You have no one to blame but yourself.

Now, spread the wealth. Tell your fellow DUmmies what you learned.

It's reading comprehension will be blinded by it's false sense of outrage and perpetual victimhood.

[hillneck]

Hey DUmbasses, the lesson here is "Truth is light and it will show you the path to happiness".  Then again since most of you are little cockroaches I understand why you scatter when the light is turned on.

Thanks.

Once again for those in the cheap seats - if you post your life on the internet to a group of strangers, and go so far as to post information that would be damaging to your employer and/or career then guess what misfits?  this is going to happen.

1) Stop being so damn needy for attention from strangers.   



2) the 1,000 views that thread received? 90% of it were from the island, so rejoice that CC put you on the map.   No need to thank us.  We are givers that way.

Well DUmmie, now you know, and you know what the funny thing about it is?

Actually, we don't look at DU and complain.  We look at it and mock.
