What was DU's most ridiculous flamewar?

[LostInAnomie]

Cornflake Chicken?

Olive Garden?

Laura Brannigan?

The Douchebag Thread?

There's got to be a few I'm missing.

[fishwax]

1. The moon bombing thread

that was pretty epic.

[LostInAnomie]

2. Oh shit! I forgot about that one.

That was a classic.

[Initech]

7. Like this?

[A HERETIC I AM]

13. This one ?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9124668


It bears mentioning that the DU'er at the center of the epic sub-thread: "Beherenow" passed away several months ago if I am not mistaken.

[stevenleser]

22. That thread encompasses the full spectrum of the bizarre. Not surprised many posters

who had their hair on fire about it are now either PPR'd or stopped posting of their own accord.

[progressoid]

122. OMG. That was epic off the chartness.

[chrisa]

21. An all-time classic for sure.

Some of the troll threads by RBTexLa, or whatever his name was, were pretty hilarious too. People here got so fired up.

[hifiguy]

54. That was truly

EPIC!

My personal favorite, though the chicken wars were pretty entertaining, too.

[Dr. Strange]

90. Yea, verily.

[TheKentuckian]

92. Nothing beats the great moon bombing!

[Odin2005]

115. That was hysterical. Literally.

[Marrah_G]

119. That was totally Epic

[Warren DeMontague]

120. Moon bombing was my personal favorite.

By the time we got to Dr. Richard Boylan, Star Person Incarnate Fran, and their "targeted telekinetic action to protect the Star Folks Extraterrestrial Lunar Colony" (IT WORKED!!!) we had crossed the line into pure comedy gold.

Classic.

[Renew Deal]

127. That was the first one that came to mind for me.

"We're going to destroy mother moon!"

[arcane1]

3. The one I remember most was more of a WTF thread: "I don't drink with you"

[LostInAnomie]

4. I don't remember that one.

What was it about?

[arcane1]

5. Someone went to a gathering of his wife's employers, and he refused drinks.

I have to find this...

[nirvana555]

6. The one I remember the most about is The Olive Garden thread. N/T

[sharp_stick]

29. Here it is (I don't drink with you!)

69. There it is! Good lord, my brain hurts again already

Thanks!

[betsuni]

96. Reading that thread was like a philosophy test,

I was supposed to figure out the OP's ideas of free will, libation determinism, the social contract between the party guest and the owner of the means of refreshments, etc. I don't drink with you, therefore I am ... . I'm getting a headache. I need a drink.

[treestar]

128. Just spent twenty minutes reading that thread

And laughing my ass off.

Never had seen it before. What a classic!

[Phentex]

44. Wasn't it the same poster who said he would not celebrate the holidays in any way?

I think they are related.

I give props for coming on DU and making such statements. As if people care!

[Throd]

68. He also was proud not to wear a seat belt when driving a car.

11. Oh man I remember

Bigmclargehuge and that thread. I miss bigmclargehuge, wonder what ever became of him?

[Sanity Claws]

12. How did I ever miss that thread?

I've been around since 2004 and don't remember that thread at all.

[kiva]

9. I believe kudzu had a good run.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Yes! I remember that one, wondered if anyone else did!

And then there was something about yaks...

[sakabatou]

50. It's going places

[denbot]

61. I killed that thread.. Actually CallMeWestly locked after my post.

And it wasn't a flame war

[swag]

89. Thank you!

[Sanity Claws]

14. Chinese Gardener

RadioLady described some guy as a Chinese gardener.

I'm not saying this was the worst flame war, just memorable. She also made the post that led to the Olive Garden flame war. Who knows what other flame wars we would have had, if she had not been tombstoned?

[fishwax]

28. asian woodcarver, I believe it was :)

Yeah, that was quite a thread. She had some other memorable ones as well. I seem to remember her starting a thread (or maybe it was just a subthread) criticizing Rachel Maddow for her plain appearance back when Rachel's show was still quite new.

[Sanity Claws]

37. Oh yes! It was woodcarver.

But you are sure it was Asian woodcarver, not Chinese?

[fishwax]

39. you might be right on that point

I guess I can't remember for sure, and was going mostly on memories of the responses and later jokes about it. 'Twas quite a while ago, I guess.

[Sanity Claws]

40. You were right!

I found the infamous thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7201635

[betsuni]

97. Thanks for the link, that was great.

Like reading something from the early 20th century. "Asian gentleman" "foreign lands" "The Cream Pony." Excellent. The first time I took my non-American husband (he is an Asian gentleman from a foreign land) to the States, my sister invited some friends over and he thanked her for a wonderful "race mix party." RACE MIX PAR-TAY, WHOO-HOO!

[BeanMusical]

99. Wow, that woman was... Special.

[LiberalLoner]

112. I actually googled the Cream Stallion. What came up on google was not a book.

[Hissyspit]

80. RadioLady's initial post about Olive Garden

was made in response to a post by me. I was the catalyst, on vacation in NYC, and I did not check back until about a day later, because I was out having fun. I was shocked at what had developed since I asked my initial question.

I would vote for the Olive Garden flame war.

[sharp_stick]

103. That was something else

It's fascinating to see just how fast a seemingly minor thing can amplify into outright craziness.

[Hissyspit]

106. It really was.

[Phentex]

15. Put your shopping cart back...

[valerief]

34. Which one?

http://election.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4232096

and then there's this gross-out one
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018583056

[Phentex]

41. No, this one. How many people would be booted off DU for this now?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2131622#2137081

[sharp_stick]

42. I remember that one now

I still have the M&M's flipping you off pic that I stole from the lead. I was pretty much brand new to DU in those days.

I miss the day's when you could outright tell someone to go fuck themselves in a post and not face recriminations. Now you have to think of a really unique way of telling someone what a useless douche they are without actually tripping the SOP.

I don't remember Midlodemocrat or several of the others but holy crap did that one go off the rails in a hurry.

[Phentex]

43. She was a mod!

and I think she was part of a later purge but I can't be sure about that.

[valerief]

74. Right. The humor has been sucked out of the place by RW disruptors using

church lady appropriateness as a shield.

[Art_from_Ark]

75. Oh my gosh!

Talk about knock-down, drag-out fights!

[Phentex]

16. Also, the Clique Wars...

every few months or so, someone would post about the Lounge Cliques. They would burn for a couple of days!

[LostInAnomie]

47. I remember the "Great Purge" but that was years ago.

A lot of long time, popular DUers got tombstoned in that mess. I wish I remembered more about the details but there were all kinds of accusations flying around.

This place was dripping with drama.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

70. These might bring back some memories

[LostInAnomie]

71. Geez, look at some of the names in those threads.

So many DU legends that don't post on here anymore.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

72. IK,R

Actually, if you go back to a lot of threads from o7 and 08, it is striking how many are gone.

[A HERETIC I AM]

17. Back when we had "unrec"...

There was a DU'er appreciation thread that got unrecc'd to the point that there were over 100 votes but it only showed like 6 positive.

Many of the participants went ballistic because people had the audacity to express a negative view of the thread being "great"

It was truly ridiculous

Just remembered...it was a "Hannah Bell" appreciation thread

[pipi_k]

18. Oh yeah...

the periodic (but persistent) unrec wars were always epic.

It always amazed me that some people would actually sit there and watch the rec/unrec tallies change, and then complain that unrecs were showing up almost immediately.

Like they're being !!!unrec stalked!!! for some reason

[A HERETIC I AM]

20. Ahhhh...the good old days!

Did you ever see my "Ode to Unrec"?

If you haven't, I'll have to dig it up.

I had a bit of fun with that Hannah Bell thread, and one DU'er in particular - famous for being, how shall I say...?.......perpetually underserved by humanity?......was the most vocal.

The appreciation thread got locked and she started another thread complaining about that fact, accusing the members who unrecc'd the thread as being "bullies" and somehow members of a secret society of unrecc'ers.

So...I couln't resist and started a thread calling for a meeting of the secret society!

Well...that got locked too. So I put up another thread just saying that I liked DU because drama was fun and funny at times.

The above mentioned famous DU'er took me to task on my own thread and I let her have it.

My post got scrubbed but I made my point.

I've got it all here under this stack of virtual papers, somewhere!

[pipi_k]

63. I don't recall

seeing your "Ode To Unrec", so yes, if it won't get you in trouble, I'd like to read it

[A HERETIC I AM]

64. Post #48

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=688184

[stevenleser]

24. Wasn't she the one who was shilling for North Korea?

I vaguely remember that being the reason she was tombstoned. Unless I am getting her mixed up with someone else.

[A HERETIC I AM]

25. i don't recall that.

The person I am speaking of was perpetually homeless, or so she would have us all beleive.

Apparently several DU'ers reached out to her in an attempt to help, only to be met with vitriol, for some strange reason. It seems to me she had some serious mental health issues but never seemed to avail herself of any kind of free assistance. I tried to be kind to her when I interacted with her, but her participation in the thread(s) I am speaking of just pushed me over the edge. It was clear she wasn't playing with a full deck, so to speak.

Anyway.....I'm sorry she had/has difficulties, but I have little sympathy for people who prefer to complain about their lot in life instead of accepting or seeking readily available assistance.

[fishwax]

30. was it bobbolink?

[A HERETIC I AM]

31. Yes. n/t

[Texasgal]

87. Interesting anecdote on Bobbolink.

I offered her up my family's hunting cabin out near Bastrop... about 40 miles east of Austin. No one was using it and I felt terrible about her having to spend another cold winter in Colorado.

It's a one room cabin with a small kitchen and bathroom on 2 acres. I told her that she could stay there but would need to cover her own expenses as far as gas and electricity. She agreed. She even had her sponsor call me about the place. I told her I could help her for a few months until she got settled and found a job. I agreed to buy her groceries and cover the electricity until she could get settled.

She had me take pictures and send them to her. Things seemed to be going okay until she started bitching about not having wi-fi or carpet and also not having central air and heat. ( there are window units) I explained to her that this was a temporary place until she got re-settled into a new place and that my cabin wasn't perfect but it was better than living in her car on the streets!

After all of that she trashed me and stalked me VIA PM and DU. I even sent her a 75.00 gift certificate on the advice of her sponsor at Wal Mart and she bitched about that she would NEVER go to wally world. I finally gave up and put her on ignore. I have no idea what ever happened to her.

[A HERETIC I AM]

93. i've heard several stories like that about her.

Again, I have compassion for people down on their luck, but some people are just......well...



whackadoodle.

[stevenleser]

35. Yep, I just checked, there are multiple examples

unfortunately, most were in Meta or in some other forum that no longer exists. The abstracts come up in a DU search but you can't click on the links. Here is one that works. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3400952

[A HERETIC I AM]

49. Yes, I remember that now.

I admit I never participated in any of those threads though.

She was ......a different sort.

[BronxBoy]

73. She was the DU "authority"

On being poor. At first I thought she added a unique perspective but then she just seemed to be shrill and angry

[hifiguy]

57. You are correct, sir.

NK was touted as being something like paradise on earth. Which got her PPR'd.

[valerief]

32. Wow, I don't even know what a Hannah bell is. nt

[LostInAnomie]

46. Man, I miss unrec.

Nothing was better than watching some of DU's special snowflakes/delicate geniuses freak out whenever people would unrec the "masterpieces" they bestowed upon DU.

DU used to have so many more tools to keep the loonies in line.

[A HERETIC I AM]

48. LOL....

DU used to have so many more tools to keep the loonies in line.

Yeah....tools.....Ahhh, what the hell...

My "Ode to Unrec:


Oh unrec, you message board feature sublime,
Have you simply appeared ahead of your time?
Why is it you gather such silly attention?
When all you want is a little affection.

At times your usage makes some come unglued
when your result is simply nonsense subdued.
Even though your application is most voluntary
the contempt for you is oddly quite scary

It's as if in your absence, a thread that's not hot
still warranted a greatest page-ward swat.
Some will insist the jury's still out
But the job you've done is nothing but stout.

Eliminating crap and gratuitous clutter.
Place self serving bullshit in a well deserved gutter.
"I WON'T POST! I WON'T POST! I WON'T POST NO MORE!
IT'S YOU UNRECCERS MAKING LIFE SUCH A CHORE!"

Suggesting all threads of obscure import
deserve to be making the greatest page sort
is like saying a toddlers crude block construction
earns inclusion in Architecture Today's production


Oh unrec, oh unrec, you feature supreme
make it easy to see if a thread holds esteem
by a majority of our fine message board
instead of just five that are easily scored.

[LostInAnomie]

51. Beautiful.

We should start a petition to bring unrec back. I'm sure it would get locked immediately, but it would be nice to see what the reaction would be.

[A HERETIC I AM]

52. Every poll ever done on DU.....

found the overwhelming majority liked the feature. Every single one I saw ranked it in the 75% approval range.

I think Skinner et al just got sick and tired of the whining from the incredibly vocal minority.

[LostInAnomie]

53. Pretty much the opposite of "Nuclear Ignore" then.

Can you imagine how dead DU would be if that thing was still around?

That was the worst idea ever had on here.

[seaglass]

109. I LOVED Nuclear Ignore. I can't remember exactly what it was but I remember one poster

having a shit ton of DUers on Nuclear Ignore and it was hilarious.

Was it the ability to ignore people and they couldn't post in your threads and the lists of who was ignored was visible? Something like that I think.

[LostInAnomie]

110. Pretty much.

It was the ability to not only ignore but also block people from the threads you started, but with an added twist. The mods really used to enforce the "don't carry over arguments from other threads" policy. So, you would have certain DUers post something to start a flame war, ban anyone that posted in opposition to them, then alert on any thread started in rebuttal (because it was carrying over an argument). It got insane in GD very quickly.

I remember one poster (I think it was the one that started the douchebag thread) had an ignore list hundreds of DUers long.

[Dr. Strange]

91. Ha, that makes me smile.

Smile like a North Korean, it does.

[riderinthestorm]

19. CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!!

Not a flame war, but ridiculous (and hilarious)

[murielm99]

94. That is one of my favorites.

Did he mention why we were calling, or was he too incensed to include a reason?

[riderinthestorm]

98. Not that I recall which is why it was so hilarious. A hit and run OP

All's I can say is there are some genius DUers who provided many many funny responses.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

23. Walt Star's = Tombstone Me Now, Skinner ... not a flamewar but, epic nonetheless.

thought it deserved a mention.

Carry On.

[hifiguy]

58. That still makes me laugh

and I do look it up every once in a while.

[LynneSin]

104. That was 'RIGHT FUCKING NOW'

38. woo! i posted 4 times in that thread

and i even got to post my big asparagus picture along with the classic du tombstone pic!

[Brother Buzz]

66. LOL, I missed that one thinking it really had something to do with casting asparagus

[LeftinOH]

27. What was the Laura Brannigan one about?

I've read that it was a "thing".. but never knew what it was about. Except that probably it was absurd.

[sharp_stick]

36. That was a long time ago

but I think this may have been the beginning.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1611248

[BlueJazz]

78. I think I started that one by calling her a no-talent hack....right after she died.

People still don't understand why I said that. (I wouldn't say it now about a performer who was liked on DU but that was then...)


Edit..liked not like

[Kali]

67. The chicken one was hysterical.

During the aftermath, posts were being deleted and threads were locked anytime anyone mentioned the word "chicken" LOL

I had a few posts deleted during the aftermath.

[Texasgal]

77. The aftermath was funny!

The actual thread after all these years reminds me of how mean spirited people could be in the lounge.

[sharp_stick]

84. The aftermath was funny

but there were some true assholes in that thread that I doubt many people miss.

[Beaverhausen]

85. OH my god!!! The level of nastiness in that thread is stunning

thanks for posting it!

But yes, it was the sheer number of threads in the weeks and months afterwards that were locked and/or deleted for the word
'chicken' that got me interested. I finally know the reason!

[Texasgal]

88. Yeah.. it was hateful

The second poster in the nasty was a sock I found out later. The sock was someone I really adored here on DU. I was sad when I found that out many years later. She is no longer here.

Oh, and Spiderwoman butt. That was memorable.

105. Vegetarians/Peta vs. meat eaters

Those are always fun.

107. There have been some brilliantly classic ones as mentioned already.

Considering how much the "All Serious All the Time" denizens of GD absolutely hate us Loungarians, I'd say it's about time we shook them up with some absurd hair-on-fire topic

[LanternWaste]

108. Showing a receipt at the door is an indicator of a fascist nation.

Showing a receipt at the door is an indicator of a fascist nation. That one was so full of half-witted passion as to be almost fun.

[LostInAnomie]

111. Oh my God! I forgot about that one.

Wasn't it about someone being asked to show a receipt at Circuit City and they had an "anti-authoritarian" rage explosion?

I tried looking for the link but I couldn't find it.

edit: Still looking. Some of the joke thread titles mocking it are hilarious.

[Recursion]

134. IIRC the OP himself was cool at the Circuit City

He was carrying a large TV and didn't want to put it down and reach into his pocket, and just got irritated at the security guy for not knowing the law. Some of the responses, though, were truly amazing...

118. Bomb The Moon.

I also enjoyed all the finger-pointing after the Balloon Boy hoax.
