10. I wonder what would happen if we all started calling out . . .
hate.
What I have in mind is, every time we see a post or reply that is pure hate, or snark, or sarcasm, or an ad hominem "attack the messenger" -- basically, anything that is diversionary from the substance of the discussion . . .
If it's debatable, I wouldn't do it. But there are actually a lot of replies, if not posts, that really seem to be pretty much pure hate. And my thought is to reply to them, simply, with the word, hate.
I may try demo'ing this. I think it needs to be applied only in instances that are pretty unequivocally hateful. And they may wise up and start pulling there punches, in which case I might abandon the tactic.
So I was walking along, minding my own business, when I got knocked over. I jump up, and based upon the smell, I expect to see that I've been ran over by a manure truck, but it's snot. Snot is all smiles as he/she/it drives the Hate Train that is known as the DU Hypocritical Projection Express.
Unfortunately for snot, snot is too stupid too realize that he/she/it is actually piloting the Hate Train that is known as the DU Hypocritical Projection Express. Snot is actually so naive as to think that he/she/it is actually at the controls of the Love Train also known as the DU Help, Love, and Tolerance Express. Snot and his/her/its passengers do not realize that the DU Help, Love, and Tolerance Express does not even exist because they are all "looking through a glass darkly". Nor do they find it one bit ironic that their main source of happiness in life is attempting to run people over with the Hate Train that is known as the DU Hypocritical Projection Express.
Stupid DUmmies, but I repeat myself.
Their hypocrisy and delusion has forced me to go back into the FlippyDoo Show archives and pull a clip that I've pulled at least once before. I would think that anyone who reads it would come to the conclusion that if you were to silence the hate on DU you would be left with a website with no posts.

FlippyDoo: Okay, I guess my first question is how do you DU members view the Democrat Party?
Rockholm:
The term "Democrat Party" is really pissing me off. linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Oookay. Just for the sake of being diplomatic, how do you view the DemocratIC Party?
Count Olaf:
The Democratic Party has traditionally been the party of love. linky-dinkJackpine Radical:
The Dems are the party of love. linky-dinkFlippyDoo: The party of love? I guess that was some love that good ole Rockholm was displaying earlier, but that doesn't matter. If you say the dems are the party of love who am I to say that you're wrong. I've got an idea though. Let's play a game. I'll say a word and you say whatever pops into your head. Let's start with: Bush.
lacuna:
I admit it. I hate George W. Bush. linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Christians.
noahmijo:
I hate Christians even though I am a believer of the teachings of Christ. linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Thanksgiving.
CrispyQ:
Of all the holidays I hate Thanksgiving the most. linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Family.
cain_7777:
I hate my freeper brother-n-law! linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Christmas.
Vinca:
I definitely hate Christmas. linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Wow. That is indeed a bunch of love. So any other opinions on the DemocratIC Party?
AmericanLiberal:
the Democrats are the party of compassion linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Compassion? Hmm. Let's play that word game again. The first is Jerry Falwell.
Gold Metal Flake:
I'll stop dancing on Fallwell's grave long enough to piss on it. linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Ronald Reagan.
mopaul:
I'm glad he's dead and I don't care how many times I'm scolded or chastised for it. linky-dinkanotherdrew:
I've still got to get my dancing done at reagan's grave, linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Robert Novak.
Robb:
I'd like to dance on Novak's grave now. linky-dinkFlippyDoo. Whew. Let's go to something different. What do you guys think of our military?
Undertheocran:
All of them are babykillers, The whole army needs to be desolved linky-dinkFlippyDoo: Darn. Umm. Moving on to something else again. What about America? Give me you opinion of America.
bhunt70:
I hate America at this moment. linky-dinkTom Yossarian Joad:
America, the land of stupid mother****ers. linky-dinkFlippyDoo: For ****'s face!!!! What is wrong with you people!!! No. I'm sorry. I've got to calm down. Got to watch the language…Okay. I'm sorry about that. Tom mentioned something about America and stupidity. A poll was posted several years back asking DUers their IQs. Out of 82 votes 78 people claimed to have IQs of 120 or above. And 37 people claimed to have an IQ of 140 or above.
linky-dink to the poll That's a lot of smart people.
