Some real DUmp love for Nads

[thundley4]

Those aren't any problems; my concern in that case was that you made a great comment, but it suffered from lack of proper formatting, and the reader might've dismissed it.

Nor is it too much of a problem to remind that links to Skins's island are important.

However.

However.

However.

In the case of my good friend and colleague, one of the finest persons one can ever hope to meet, I suspect thundley4 does what he does on purpose, to see if franksolich is doing his job.

The stupid time and date won't come over unless I do a separate cut and paste of them.  I highlight them with the posts I bring over, but they refuse to follow.    Most of the posts I bring over are from the current day since I lurk on page 1 of general discussions on the island.

No, no, no, sir, good friend and stalward pal.

That's not the problem.

How come when you post an original topic from Skins's island--and we're all very appreciative of all that you do--you NEVER copy the name and post-count of the primitive lighting the campfire?  You start the thread off with the primitive's original topic, but not with the primitive's name and post-count.

When you quote other primitives further on down, you do that, include the name and post-count.

Just the primitive originally lighting the campfire, you don't.

Seriously.  It's gone on a long time, and I let it go because I was mystified as to why it was happening.

On the scale of things, it's just a small matter, no sweat.

And by the way, my good friend thundley4 contributes a great deal to conservativecave, and I especially am appreciate of that.

It works for me if you copy from the bottom up instead of top down.

Some say....

That she knows exactly two facts about hurricanes and they are both wrong.
And she has an irrational fear of hair brushes.

All we know is she is called the Nads.

I gave April a hi5 for it

She got one from the Stig Dog, too.

I played around with copying posts and I think I have it figured out.

It worked, but I had to copy from the very bottom of the post box.

Not quite right, try this stig:

Yep!!

In the event I actually have a little time I may have to branch out to other primitives as well.

Well, the oblate spheroid finally showed up to defend herself.

108. Dont let them goad you into anything. That's their game.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 01:43 PM

99. Oh and one last thing

You think it's cool for supposed New Yorkers to go against standard civil defense advise and tell people that preparation is not necessary? You think those people were doing the right thing?

As to my credentials, I still have one of my Red Cross IDs...happens to be the Mexican Red Cross, unlike it's American counterpart, does have things like hospitals, ambulances trauma units, disaster services (like it's counterpart) and rescue services. Oh the list of other services is long, by the way.

But do tell me, how much does compassion buy you? How much do twenty dollars buy you? I guess encouraging people to donate to responding agencies so they can actually buy shit people need, like food, toothbrushes, toiletries, at times shelter, and the list goes on and in and on, is somewhat vile.

So out of respect to your city should I encourage people NOT to give money and NOT to prepare?

News flash. Sandy is the moment Americans realize ....global climate change is real and more disasters are in the future.

And yes, I love you too.

Oh and no skin off my nose if you put me on ignore. I will be brutally honest, I will consider it an honor. How about we mutually ignore each other?

102. Nadin, I'll respond to you fully if I have time, but the fact that you posted your "I won't have a star because I don't get to make the rules" post earlier today is laughable.

Why is it laughable?

I don't know if you are aware of this, but you are incredibly rude, caustic, dismissive, confrontational, and belittling in thread after thread, often where everyone else is calm before you drop in with such loveliness.

That's okay within the rules, but how you feel entitled to not receive the same back is what blows my mind.

You regularly practice the conduct that you decry as unfair when it is directed at you.

Our interaction on this board started with me defending you when I felt you were being unfairly chased from thread to thread. And that defense was not just a one off comment in a thread. I went well beyond that. You soon turned on me in a previously non-confrontational thread (this was long ago). That's okay. I think I know your ways now.

I believe this post to be acceptable under the guidelines of meta - as meta is the place where we should hash things like this out.

rhett o rick (22,826 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 03:14 PM

106. So you call it "hashing out"? Getting together with your buddies and ridiculing a DU poster?

What do you hope to accomplish by this thread? Are you hoping that Nadin leaves DU? What then, you high five with your buddies.

Maybe you can goad her into violating TOS and you can claim credit for her TS.

We Democrats have a lot of work to do and this type of disruption isnt helping our cause.

Union Scribe (3,452 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 03:53 PM

110. No. No no no.

People who constantly condescend to others and flaunt a laughable jumble of credentials while getting basic facts wrong do NOT get to claim bullying when others are hurt, offended, or just plain call bullshit on them. You have this entire situation reversed. The person you're so valiantly defending uses tragedies for self-serving anecdotes and lectures. They don't get to do that with impunity, nuh uh.

rhett o rick (22,826 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 04:09 PM

111. So your justifcation for the bullying is that she deserves it?

Look at this thread. Posters are using ridicule in groups. No matter what she has done, this is not the way.

If you have facts, present them. No excuse for bullying.

I am not defending any of her actions although I never have run into any that you describe.

IMO there are those here that relish running people out of DU or getting them TS'd.

jsmirman (4,017 posts)     Wed Nov 14, 2012, 04:57 AM

121. I want her to view the consequences of something like nasty finger pointing at a point in time where such behavior is counterproductive, insensitive, and simply untimely.

And those consequences are that people get upset by such posts, for reasons I've attempted to explain.

I think she turned this unnecessarily into something it need not have been - as I said, she could have made the same points without the self-congratulations and the belittling of others - in a topic that is very raw and close to home for many DUers.

103. What's the over/under on nadin's age? I'm betting at least 183.

anybody who's done as much as she claims has gotta be.

While attending college?

rhett o rick (22,826 posts)  Tue Nov 13, 2012, 03:19 PM
 
107. How sad that you need to join in the gang ridicule. Kind of like on the playground.

Hey, let's all pick on someone. Then we will feel like big guys.

ret5hd (9,822 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 04:57 PM

112. May I ask an honest question?

What, exactly, do you think my post referred to?

truly an honest question.

rhett o rick (22,826 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 05:35 PM

115. An honest reply. You used ridicule to indicate that you think Nadin has exaggerated her "claims".

I dont know if she does or doesnt. It really doesnt matter to me. I have never run into a post of hers where I thought she was exaggerating. If you do, it is very fair to point it out at the time. But this thread is an embarrassment.

We Democrats have a lot of work to do and we need to stop picking on each other and get to work.

[GOBUCKS]

The DUmmies are sensing a second DOTY for the crazy bald dwarf, and they hate her for earning such attention.

A howling swarm of DUmmies attacking a Top DUmmy are like a pack of hyenas surrounding a wounded buffalo.

The buffalo DUmbly swings its horns to and fro, and if the hyenaDUmmies aren't careful they'll be impaled.

In the long run, we know how the story ends, but maybe nutcase nadin will be an exception to the National Geographic channel rule.

[Ballygrl]

What she needs to realize is this, New Yorkers are different, it's not like living in the suburbs, people in NY don't stock up on food, in most cases they don't even have a car, so there's no way they can lug the stuff home, and apts. are small in NY, no way could they stock up on weeks of food.

No, Bally, what she needs to "realize" is some self control and humility.  Only then will she be able to actually see how much of a condescending ass she is.  Anything less than fixing the true internal problem is just a band aid.

Oh God yes.

The oblate spheroid actually thinks she's the brightest person who's ever existed, brighter even than God.

It's a very strong and tenacious illusion of hers.

Of course, the reality is, she's dumber than a rock.

Remember, if the oblate spheroid's anywhere in the Top Ten, the award is a Freudian description and analysis of her sexual fantasies.

She's opened her yap so much that even a layman can figure it out.

And because the oblate spheroid's smarter than all those who came before her, the collective lore of her people, a lapsed Jew, she's perhaps not aware that "humility is the beginning of wisdom."

Nadine is either really liked or hated at DU. I wonder if DU is factionalized.
