I left DU nearly 3 years ago and it took me 3 days to remember why.
A lot of the same juvenile behavior, being accused of being a "hater" if you don't agree or support some Democratic political figure, having an OP where people are told to "shut the **** up" when it's not liked what they said.

But for me the line came today when it is not only acceptable to make fun of the mentally ill and then to be told to "lighten up" when you complain about such treatment being belittling and disrespectful to them, but such behavior is condoned. What next, making fun of those skinny AIDs people or how some disabled don't walk so well? How this is anything but sad I don't understand and neither do I understand the smug attitude about it.

I've scrubbed the site of all of my recent posts. If there were a way I could simply delete my membership I'd do that as well.

But now I remember why I left, now I remember. Unless Alzheimer's creeps in (how about a good humorous thread about Alzheimer's while we're at it?) I won't forget next time.

skimmer does not allow those on his island to leave. You're forever part of DUmmydom.

and it is the same folks. Yup.

Happy to see you, but I understand why you would want to leave. As to the Alzheimers thread. there was one in the morning on breaking research that might actually play a critical role in early diagnosis.

Happy holidays.

We worked hard to get that closed and you want to bring it back?

5. Merry Christmas, or other holiday, or nothing, and remember, you are always welcomed here.

I personally and publicly told you to lighten up and it's because you are asking way too much of a public discussion board to adhere to every single person's sensibility, regardless of how legitimate it may be.

I hope you understand, I'm trying to help, you have to adjust your expectations to the environment unless you plan to be disappointed, because disappointment is all you will find if you expect people to adhere to your expectations.

In love, sincerely, NYC_SKP.

Their purpose is to thoroughly hijack, pollute and therefore eliminate public spaces where real discussion and organization can occur. Occupy is disbanded with clubs and pepper spray. Dissent and organization online are disrupted with surveillance and propaganda.

It is no accident that propaganda brigades post new threads on discussion boards far out of proportion to their presence in the community, and that they nearly *always* demand the last word in any interchange.

The goal is to disrupt the important public space for liberal thought, discussion, and organization that these boards offer, to drive people away, and to keep the participants busy instead batting off the corporate lies, insults, and talking points.

States that build surveillance machines also build propaganda machines:

The government figured out sockpuppet managment but not "persona management."

I wonder if Bela Pelosi helped him on that?

The DUmmies biggest problem is that they are all thin skinned and vindictive.  They must call out even the smallest slight real or imagined and seek vengeance in the form of tombstoning the offender.

They often can't back up their argument, never really, so they seek to silence their opponents.

64. Well, not if you have been targetted

regardless, these days I limit my posting at DU for really stupid shit. For serious shit, I post on my blog, where I have trashed the posts, and IP banned, the same brigade that has made DU what it is, not what it was.
 
For the record, I miss the lively discussion, but this place is no longer a welcoming place for that.

I had to read that twice.  Yes, she actually said that.  The first thing I've even remotely agreed with, and likely the last.

Yup. She believes that at one time she posted something that wasn't really stupid shit.

Ok, which one of you guys has been bullying nads at her blog?

..and turn right around, as if in mid-sentence, and scream about dissent not being tolerated. 

Listen, lurking idiots, a debate requires opposing points of view.  I realize that is a rather advanced concept for the Romper Room, but there it is.  You decry the death of Democracy, yet squelch Democratically-voiced opposition.  Is it any wonder we think you are fooking stoopid?  You squat in your cesspool bubble and post "proofs"    and facts    that all reference your own bubble!

And the moles sit back and laugh their asses off.

Her boycott of the DUmp is depriving us of this kind of substantial news:

And she considers this breaking news?  This sort of thing happens in almost every city every day.

Yeah, but Nads doesn't report in every city every day.

Hey retard! You do you know that "propaganda" comes from the same root as "propagate," right?

Wait a minute, what am I saying?

You support public schools, so of course you don't.

Hey DUmbass, if you want to leave just do what your fellow DUmbass (drug boy Tavs) did and threaten Skinner & company.
