1. And I see a Granite Chiclet on the horizon...
it's coming fast, and probably cannot be intercepted.

3. OK....
I added a bit of fuel. I really didn't understand the "about to get banned" post, though. Maybe I'm just not in GD often enough. Not that it's bad not to be there....

4. Does the phrase "agent provocateur" mean anything to you?
Spend a bit more time in GD and it will.

That's the place where those who live under the bridge come out into the sunlight to reveal themselves, if you know what I mean and I bet you will if you think about it for a bit.

12. I prefer the phrase...
Innocent until proven guilty.

I don't like to jump to conclusions. If I have a question I'll ask it and not just assume that a person has cruel intent. When I first came to this board I posted a question that got me asked the same questions.

Years later I'm still here, still a "damn liberal", and still have questions that some might not like with and opinions that others won't agree with.

Posting a question or giving your opinion doesn't make you a right winger, a bad person, or a non-liberal. Sometimes a question is just a question.

26. But in this case, I do not believe it's "just a question."
Too glib, in too many ways.

Probably asking "do I have to include them in the plan, Dad?" :banghead:

11. They just can't help themselves. They saw us being too happy here,
and couldn't contain their jealousy.

Because we are a group of good and worthwhile people, and they are a group of bitter, argumentative, self-centered bigots.

So they have to try to stir us up for some bizarre need for validaton that they have.

I pity them, and pray that some day they they'll get over their jealous anger.

6. *Whips out official check list*
Let's see...

(Help me fill this out!)

Cites "Bizarre Behavior" without a solid reference. *CHECK*
Has a very low number of posts. *CHECK*
Started a thread with the intent of knocking a person the RW
has deemed a "Liberal Icon" (See also, Michael Moore, Hillary Clinton,
and The Marx Brothers) *CHECK*
Has a disabled profile. *CHECK*

Have I missed any?

18. I've done that now and again, and it's funny how many
posts come up that consist of "That's amazing" and "You're right" and "How true" subjects, and many other formulaic bodyless posts.

Dang, Christmas night, and I can still use a word like "formulaic."

Not bad, huh? Tell me you're proud of me.

43. Interesting...
So, if we aren't *all* not only atheists, but, Anti-Christs we deserve to lose.

(To paraphrase)

I'm not sure the definition of "Secular" makes it an Inclusive or Exclusive force.
I'd have to look it up.

That's the problem with the Right Wing Noise Machine... Their lies, distortions,
and icon take-overs are rarely direct. More often they are misdirections.

14. I think this is why number of posts shouldn't be readily available
anyone who shows some criticism is discriminated against...perhaps its a confused person looking for answers, trying to find their way to the democratic side....banning them, or saying they have no valid points due to their low post count won't do anything but push them the other way. or maybe its a democrat thats new and doesn't know how things work around here, still no reason to get all pissy...just answer their questions as completely as possible and stop turning their comments into a big issue.

16. Yeah, but, calling out Cindy Sheehan on Christmas Day is poor taste.
Edited on Sun Dec-25-05 10:26 PM by Prag
This person could do their democratic groping on any other day.

Sort of like plowing down a row of crosses, eh?

I can never remember!

Never-the-less, some sort of test is required.

Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that this day

19. Nah. I have enough of that going on here....in-laws who only
drink on Xmas. Oh, and on New Year's. And Thanksgiving. And Halloween, St. Pat's Day, Feast of the Immaculet Conception, Ground Hog Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Saturday, Sunday, Friday night, Thursday night, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday night, weddings, wakes and funerals.

I already hosed off the lanai. Xmas in hell.

31. No, Catholic. Want to hear bout a stereotype? My grandfather on
that side was an Irish Boston cop who drank himself to death.

Perfect stereotype, or what?

53. Locking.
Those of you posting links to locked threads and posts by people who may or may not be trolls - and who did not alert on said threads or posts:

Report to me for the appropriate punishment...


























Seriously.

"Do not publicly accuse another member of this message board of being a disruptor, conservative, Republican, FReeper, or troll, or do not otherwise imply they are not welcome on Democratic Underground. If you think someone is a disruptor, click the "Alert" link below their post to let the moderators know."

"Do not talk negatively about an individual in a thread where they are not participating. Do not post messages with the purpose of "calling out" another member or picking a fight with another member."


Them's the rules, my friends!

;)
