Hair on Fire Bingo

28. There is a problem at DU that we no longer have 'mods' as we did at DU2. This stuff would not have

been tolerated there, and the site is in a free-for-all due to the massive number of trolls.

There has always been a DU troll infestation, I'm reading in GD it's the same group that has been trolling since Obama was elected that set up the climate to invite more trolls. They bring DU up in internet searches as anti-Obama and anti-Democrat and thus they rush into DU in droves.

They didn't want Obama as the candidate in 2008 and now quite openly in GD, use the same language. They say they are 'not going to get over' the scandal du jour. They are not dumb, don't want Democrats to win, anyway.

The owners of DU decided that some features like Meta were destroying the unity of the site, and closed it down; they also are in possession of a vast amount of numerical data on posts. I have read ATA threads indicating that this influences their stance on letting the juries decide.

And Skinner has commented on the games being played. These games are commonly used in internet forums as cointel. Yes, many are paid.

But we can't know who it is and one of the great things, both a strength and a weakness, is the open minded of Democrats. We are most definitely not the totalitarians and authoritarians that the GOP and Paul supporters are.

They are purists, truly. That is who it appears we are dealing with. For those who take offense at the word Paulbot, I suggest a glance at the TOS.

Let's try not to fight among ourselves.
