Where's nadin?

[Splashdown]

I've never seen her this quiet!

Is she just throwing in the towel for the DOTY this year?

[Chris_]

I guess she figures she's just going to coast for the last quarter.

We are making some changes to the moderating/jury system. (THIS IS IMPORTANT.)

after which new rules are explained

47. I am expecting to have even more posts alerted in an attempt to get them hidden. Yes, I can see how that will be abused. Mostly, it already has. It is to the point I expect THIS post to be alerted on.
 
Oh well, more folks will go to ignore.

As to the adds, thanks, some of us refuse to buy memberships any longer.

As to the changes in the jury system, that seems to be a change in the right direction, I will still refuse to alert or participate in it.

In the open.

That is what ignore is. Period.

85. Here is one way to look at it, and trust me, having been on the receiving end for over a decade I get it. We have cliques, like Junior High. And the bullies are just one of the cliques. They do post flamebait. I know that. But they have, imo, protection, like the principal gave to those bullies in HS long ago.
 
I met after my dad died one of the chief bullies. She does not understand why I prefer not to say hi. She was not just with the cool kids, but a chief bully. And we have a similar experience here.
 
So here you cannot fight back, like school. Ignore rarely works, like school, so just keep going.

So basically it was a multi-part GBCW posting?

Jeez, just leave, nads.  Nobody cared when you were there, nobody'll care when you leave.

Except us!!!

Has she done enough for a top spot on DOTY?????

[dane]

Perhaps she is concerned about the competition from Amber, the graduate of the 'Nadin School of Communication for Journos'.

There are some good stories there, complete with the word salad taught in that school for journos.

I love DU!
They have a historian than knows jack sh#t about history and someone with a communications degree that can't write her way out of a paper bag.

[GOBUCKS]

Nutcase nadin is pissed at Skimmer over the insulting note he posted that was aimed directly at her.

She's withholding her talent, letting him twist, twist slowly in the wind.

She was already in shock from the Amber tsunami, and the Skimmer affront was the straw that broke the camel's back.

She felt she had no option but to go nuclear - a strike against the DUmp until Skimmer is brought to his knees.

I'm rather enjoying it, the smack-down.

It's long past time her arrogrance was roped in.

Heh, heh, heh! If she thinks she's the same caliber as Skins, she still has a lot to learn about DUmbassLAnd.

Reading her posts are like listenin' to fingernails on a chalkboard. If I lived with her, I'd put it out of it's misery. A more abrasive human being I have never run across.

HI! NadaBrain!

We know you come here in order to boost yer ego!

[Ptarmigan]

Looks like DU has had it with Nadin. I am surprised she has not been banned.

[GOBUCKS]

After one hundred twenty-six thousand posts, lecturing the DUmmies on countless topics, guiding them through catastrophes worldwide, helping them survive natural disasters, and explaining every single thing that puzzles them, not one DUmmy has inquired about nadin's sudden disappearance.

Even they know she's full of shit! Big surprise! No one likes bein' talked down to, and NadaBrain can't help herself. Her bein' the smartest person in the room and all.

It's not bullying, to be called out for being stupid, stupid.

having been on the receiving end for over a decade , I get it

Evidently, not.

Even they know she's full of shit!

.....and a great source of mirth and merriment.

Uh, in Al's dictionary on DUmmies, that's spelled "stooooopid"! Must have 5 o's in order fer the DUmmies to look it up. Heh, heh!

Wasn't me who made that rule, BTW, it was Blue.

It sure is.

5 o's

Damn; I hadn't thought of that, but you're right.  Not one has.

How fickle friendships, on Skins's island.....

[USA4ME]

Skin's should give the primitives a reprieve if they bomb out on having 5 hidden posts in 90 days. I say $100 donation buys them up to 10 days earlier back on the island.

[Airwolf]

So it took her this long to figure out that no one likes her condescending post?

[Chris_]

I don't think she would ever admit to that.  In her world, it's always the bullies that cause the trouble.

[franksolich]

I doubt the cousin's figured it out even yet.

In fact, she probably thinks that by not posting, she's punishing, depriving, the primitives of something good and valuable--just like she thinks when she puts a primitive on the "iggy" list.

That, I could never figure out.  

[Duke Nukum]

To blatantly rip off South Park:

Nadin doesn't do what Nadin does for Nadin. Nadin does what Nadin does because Nadin is James Cameron!

Think about it: Have you ever seen Nadin and James Cameron at the same time on the same submarine?

The whole jury system at DU is a bad idea. A lot of craziness gets filtered out. Nadin is in meltdown mode.

[Condition1]

She is probably
1. finding a cure for cancer
2. writing a book on beauty tips
3. solving Fermat's last theorem
4. giving firearms instruction to Navy Seal Teams
5. working on her latest costume for Cosplay
6. Taking an advanced Klingon language course
7. Illustrating her calligraphy edition of The Communist Manifesto with water color portraits of Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, and the entire DNC

Pretty sure most primitives consider it a gift! Her "holier than thou" attitude is annoying as hell!
