Question for the Proglodytes; RE: cyber-stalking

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Your master, Skinner, has a decreed that you are not free to quote CC at length as we do here with your posts. "It gives them undue attention and promotion," you are told by your master. Presumably, this means he does not want to provide another avenue to promulgate our views.

Yet, whenever we post your burblings you howl like rhesus monkeys with electrodes strapped to your balls. You complain about stalking and you threaten legal action (heh).

How come what is promulgation for us is stalking for you?

[Skul]

By their definition, going to the zoo, and laughing at the monkeys on the island, is "stalking".
Going to the zoo every day, costs money.
Why do that, when all I need to do is visit the DUmp?

I never cared much for monkeys either.

Me either.  They throw poop.

So do DUmmies, but mostly at each other.

They want a fenced in sandbox with some controlling authority protecting them.

Since you asked a proglodyte....

It's only stalking, to me, when information is used outside of posting on here to make fun of DUers.  For example, if someone learned my address and phone number and sent me threatening letters or phone calls or texts.

Or, if you only make accounts to get up to 50 posts to PM and then message people mean things on DU. 

Other than that.... I think it's rather amusing that conservatives find us so amusing.  I do wish there was a forum where Libs and Conservatives could have rational, sane discussion.  But I'm sure both sides would think that impossible, for various different reasons.  (I've been a good houseguest at Redstate using the same name I use on DU).

I don't know, you could try it here?

You admit to being a DUmmie so that's half the battle, what have you got to lose?

It should be fairly easy, don't sabotage conservatives, don't lie about yourself and (if/when) you engage conservatives in conversation don't move the goalposts and build strawmen.

You should start an interesting thread and see if your ideas stand up.

DUmbasses don`t amuse me...you disgust me.
Your obsession with having every want and desire handed to you free of charge is taking this country to the place leftism always lands...economic collapse.

I wasn't sure if it was allowed, so I'd just been lurking, but I did respond to another post.  I'm Moriah.  I'm currently on MIRT but not active -- life intervened.

I'm not sure what you mean by "allowed".

Give it a shot, what's the worst that can happen MIRT person? Get the ban hammer?

Start a thread, be honest to yourself and us. Test your beliefs against a critical audience or go back to DU.

DU doesn't allow Conservatives, even admitted ones, to post.  RedState allows liberals to post if the admit they are liberal and are polite and respectful that it's a Conservative home.  If your rules are more like RedState's than DU, then cool, I'll be happy to post and see if you think I'm an okay contributor.

Unlike the DUmp you will not be banned from here by posting a liberal position.
You will be challenged on it so be prepared to defend it.

Like I said, be true to yourself, don't move the goalposts and don't build strawmen.

Summing up the island and why they don't find it all that funny:



Guess I would be embarrassed too if my political and social views could be portrayed in the above pic.

I don't find your kind amusing.
I find your kind disgusting.

[Ptarmigan]

Do they know stalking even is? If I recall, some DUmmies did that before. They like imagining being victims of something.  

[Tess Anderson]

Some of biggest bitchers about "cyber-stalking" and "cyber-bullying" are the ones that have been c/p from freerepublic for over ten years - Judy and Eva in particular. If my employee had done what Doug did, then went on a kooky message board and bragged about it, I'd want to know that.

CC is the only place I can put my insane ideas on and not get clobbered very often or sent a packing.

I appreciate the members as they do not boot me out the door as DU does with those that disagree with the ideas of others.

  Some where there has to be someone who understands what I am trying to say. Perhaps I do not state my ideas with equivalence and or what ever, but CC has  allowed me to post for what ever their own reasons and It has been great fun so far.

Now that's funny right there.  I don't care who you are.

That earned you an H5.  (We're still looking for that person, BTW. )

Surely you jest, madam.

Watching the primitives is funnier than watching those old black-and-white "Three Stooges" movies.

[Texacon]

What?  A forum that allows dissent?  Really?  Could there be such a utopia.

Get real chick. DU is not the standard. If you have something to say, say it. If we disagree with you we'll let you know but WE won't ban you.   DU has obviously clouded your judgement.

It is allowed. Where it breaks down, usually, is when the new-comer tries the typical tactics used at DU and doesn't argue in a rationable fashion.

for example:

DUmpmonkie: Bush lied us into war with tails of WMDs.
CC-er: There has been much evidence presented to show there were chemical WMDs, although no nuclear program, which ironically enough, seems to have been a Saddam propaganda attempt to get NATO not to attack him.
DU: No there isn't/
CC-er: links documents.
Other CC-er: I was there in Iraq in 2003 in the Army and we uncovered many many tons of chemicals used in WMDs near a rocket compound. See this documentation.
DU: You Lie!

and it rapidly goes down-hill and many CC-er poking and picking on the poor DU-er until he/she/it expoldes and gets banned.

BUT- Good luck!
