(24,544 posts)that 1SBM is banned poster HamdenRice. That was the point of the "I will not eat Ham n Rice" BS.
HamdenRice was a black poster banned from DU years ago. He has gone on to Daily Kos where, at least for a while there, his posts were some of the most highly recommended ones there. I don't know if he's still on Daily Kos because I don't read Kos and I haven't made an effort to keep up with Hamden.
But why would somebody doing fairly well on Kos come back to the kiddie pool that is DU? DU probably doesn't have 1/5 the name recognition or even the participation that Kos does and it's scraping the barrel in terms of quality of posts and posters, as the Greatest Page proves every fucking day. Even Jezebel, which is a fairly small and niche member of the Gawker Media family, has individual posts that REGULARLY get 2-3 times the number of recs than posts sitting proudly on the top of the Greatest Page at DU.
DU is small potatoes and grows more irrelevant by the day. Not only am I 100% sure that 1SBM is not Hamden Rice, I'd bet $5 that Hamden Rice isn't here even in zombie form and probably hasn't given DU another thought in years. He's like a lot of black posters that way.
