God I'd love to be MIRT on June 17th

1. You're drooling viciously, I'll bet (wink)

[msongs]

2. first thing they need to do is jack up the bus and extricate elizabeth warren nt

[sheshe2]

3. You survived....

1-6 leave.

[trumad]

5. Seriously ?

That's why the alert rules are changing.

[NYC Liberal]

7. I served on a jury just yesterday for an alerter who

didn't like that a racist thread was being called out as racist. (It was 0-7 to leave, luckily.)

The alert rule changes cannot come soon enough.

[brer cat]

18. I was on that jury also.

I agree that the rules need to change asap. I think a lot of alerts have more to do with who the posters supports politically than what was actually posted.

[LannyDeVaney]

19. I'm alerting your post because it reflects poorly on keyboard cats.

Enough is enough. Move your hands and let that cat write his masterpiece.

[brer cat]

23. He writes really bad poetry.

Everything rhymes with ow.

[sheshe2]

22. Lol~

Yup!

[yallerdawg]

4. There will be no purge.

"Many will be disappointed."

Or...

[missingthebigdog]

9. Maybe it won't be called a purge. . . .

But with some of the posts I'm seeing, and the clarity the new rules provide, there will at least be a mass involuntary migration elsewhere event.

[procon]

14. That's funny... you made me laugh, thanks! nt

[wryter2000]

11. I believe Skinner

No people are going to be purged. But their vomit will be cleaned up. I believe they'll crawl back under their Nader rocks on their own.

[Walk away]

6. The members of the "Imminent Indictment Crew" (the I.I.C.) are my personal favorites!

They are just so sure that Hillary will be dragged away in handcuffs unless....Obama gets her out of it! I really get a kick out of them. I'm going to have to check in at their off site soap box to get a laugh.

[drray23]

8. they might need to hire extra help.nt.

[BobbyDrake]

21. Well, I know (more than) a few Revolution Messaging employees whose schedules just opened up. LOL

Oh wait, that's the whole reason for the MIRT team in the first place!

Never mind.

[WhiteTara]

10. I'll be glad when GD P goes away

I'm tired of the multiple postings about the same article as though repeating it often enough will somehow give their OPs traction.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Right? how much fun would that be?

[TwilightZone]

13. Some of these people have already completely lost it.

I can't imagine what it's going to be like the 15th-17th or so.

[Agnosticsherbet]

15. I have worked hard to remain positive

But today it's like the cess pits of hell vomited on GD-P and elsewhere.

It is happening on Facebook, to.

It as if a team of professionals were trying to stop any semblance of unity.

[TwilightZone]

17. I find myself hoping desperately that they're just trolls.

The alternative is disturbing. The level of intentional ignorance displayed today *has* to be fake.

It has to be. I'm going to keep telling myself that. lol

[workinclasszero]

34. Only one orange racist entity benefits from this HS shoveled daily on DU

So I have to assume the baggers are behind all this anti Hillary hysteria.

[Fla Dem]

16. Many hard core BS fans have already packed up and left for the JPR bereavement forum.

The ones still here and are bitter because they think the primaries were stolen, will have a hard time participating civilly and will eventually earned their sought after ban. But a majority of the Bernie supporters will move on and support our nominee.

I understand why they supported him, what I never understood was the nastiness and hate spewed for the last year.

[BlueMTexpat]

32. Same here.

I could well understand their enthusiasm - at least until recent weeks - and was generally delighted that he was in the primary so that Dems could draw some attention away from the GOPer freak show. I also like his speaking out so strongly about economic equality.

What I didn't appreciate as much was how income inequality was the single TP that practically excluded any other issues/dialogues. Even then, I could see how appealing he was to young people.

But I could never understand why some felt that they had to continue repeating GOPer TPs against Hillary.

20. they will have to take shifts--won't be getting much sleep.

[TeamPooka]

24. MIRT only deals with new malicious intruders, new sign ups that come in the stir up trouble.

Users that have been here for a long time and/or more than 50 posts are an issue for Admins to deal with.
I've done MIRT duty several times and it's a mental, emotional drain because you see how many complete asshats in the world are trying to screw with us here.
Let's give a shout out to our current MIRT group.
They do a great job and don't get enough praise or thanks

[TwilightZone]

27. Agreed on the shout-out.

I do not envy them.

[BlueMTexpat]

33. Thanks to you and the

other MIRTers!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. MIRT wont do the clean up of long time Du'ers. that's usually an admin thing.

[hrmjustin]

26. I am enjoying hosting now. It is keeping me out of the forums.

[NurseJackie]

28. The GBCW posts and intentional flame outs have been fun to watch.

Good riddance!

[sarae]

29. I just wandered into GDP

just to see if it has improved...and IT HASN'T.

I read post after post, to the point where I was angry enough to start responding. But then I thought why bother? It won't help, and I'll just put myself in a bad mood.

I came back here and just wanted to say I LOVE IT HERE. Thanks, everyone, for providing a comfortable, safe and SANE place!

[athena]

30. It was not a waste of time.

I appreciated your posts in GDP.

I agree, though, that it makes one's blood boil. It's really not worth the effort to post there.

[sarae]

31. Thank you! :)

I enjoyed your posts, too. It's very encouraging to see like minds.
