18. It's all he's got. Empty noise like this, or trying to get other DUers to fight with each other.

Like this http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002178416

Jury: please review all the links provided (in my post and the one I'm replying to) before reaching a verdict.

23. Why do you care if he posts these from time

to time? Does it harm you in any way? Apparently, given the number of DU Recs these posts have, they are quite popular with some DUers. How is that a problem? Seriously, what is your objection?

[Bonobo]

43. Might I suggest that if you don't like this post

that you either do not click on it or put the poster on ignore.

Du affords one the ability to disregard posts that are unpalatable to you with a variety of tools.

I suggest that you avail yourself of them.

[MineralMan]

64. DU also affords me the option of replying to any post

I wish. I do avail myself of that option.

[Bonobo]

67. Apparently the same could be said of the poster you took issue with

And so we go round and round the mulberry bush and what can be said in the end?

Perhaps that it is not your place, nor mine, to question the motives of posters for their posts.

Why ask the sun why it shines or the rooster why it crows, my dear l'homme minérale?

It is for us to accept the post as it is, to ignore it or to respond to its content.

But to enquire as to the motives of the poster is to break the 3rd wall as it were, to peak behind the curtain, so to speak.

And alas, such is not for you nor I.

[MineralMan]

22. DU is full of duplicate posts. There's no rule that someone

can't post more than once, especially if the posts are at different times or in different forums.

Looking at the number of DU Recs this post has, it is apparently a popular one. Why does it bother you? Do you not like Obama? It that's the case, there's nothing preventing you from posting that and see how the number of K&Rs compare. Might be interesting, you know.

[Cali_Democrat]

25. I never said there was a rule against it

I also never said it bothered me and I never said I don't like Obama.

Anything else?

[MineralMan]

27. Nope. That's about it.

[Cali_Democrat]

28. It's funny how you tried to draw all those conclusions

after reading my post with one word and 3 links.

[MineralMan]

36. So, why did you bring it up, and

post links to the other three posts, made over three months? What does it matter? There's no requirement to read them, kick them, or recommend them. Do you have a reason for your post? Was there something you wished to accomplish with it? Why even make it?

[Cali_Democrat]

40. My first post in this thread really seems to have bothered you

That's just too bad. Suck it up.

[LoZoccolo]

55. K&R if you like Obama!

[Cali_Democrat]

58. Wassup LoZo!

[ZM90]

11. Other than his support of ACTA and TPPA which I don't agree with him on

I like him pretty well. I think he's the best we're going to get currently and he's miles better than any of the repuke candidates. He is a very likable person.

[Enrique]

[MadHound]

35. Well, the peace and quiet was nice while it lasted,

But you're back now. Oh well.

[MineralMan]

37. Why do you care? Seriously.

What is it to you if this OP posts a "K&R if you like Obama post?" Does it do you harm? Are you required to read it, and post in the thread? I guess I just don't understand why you bother to read the thread or post in it, if you don't find it important.

The OP has posted some of these before. And each time many people have recommended the thread and kicked it. To me, that means that they appreciate the post and want to register their agreement with it. How does that affect you, or the others who appear to be somehow offended by the very presence of the post and the poster? Are DUers who don't necessarily agree with you somehow less important than you are? I don't think so. Look at the list of people who recommended this thread. Who are they, other than DUers?

Does the opportunity to snark about a supportive post about Obama force you to leave the snarky post? I don't think it does. Why not just skip the post, hide the post, or ignore the poster?

Can you explain?

[Bonobo]

45. I am similarly puzzled about why YOU feel the need to insert your little nose here.

Does it bother you so much that someone posts something that sticks out and doesn't comport with your idea of what should be there?

Why are you so judgmental? It reminds me of the attitude of Puritans who suffer from the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere is having fun. Only in your case, it is the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere isn't following your code of conduct.

Why don't you just ignore it, or keep YOUR opinions to yourself?

It's a two-way street when you decide to stand in judgment and post your little comments. So I will throw your own advice back at you.

"Why not just skip the post, hide the post, or ignore the poster? "

[Robb]

46. No, *I'm* more ironic!!

[Bonobo]

47. No, it's a greater honor for me. nt

[LoZoccolo]

53. Maybe it's because he doesn't like to see the thread interrupted with personal attacks.

I can't speak for him, but he did K&R.

[Bonobo]

57. Like I said, ignore or don't click.

Not complicated is it? Especially when he dispenses that advice all the time.

[LoZoccolo]

60. There's really something different about being the one who disrupts something and

being the one who tries to make sense of it and tries to keep it from happening again.

[Bonobo]

62. "Keep it from happening again"...

These issues of control generally appear with authoritarian types.

[LoZoccolo]

69. What's heavy-handed about asking someone's reasons for doing it?

It seems that if they really felt it was right, they could dig in their heels if they want to

[Whisp]

70. and why are consistently an angry little muffin?

I would alert on this if I cared

[BumRushDaShow]

38. Was wondering where you had run off to

K&R

49. You have retired the mega format?

[LoZoccolo]

54. I didn't have time to put one together.

Maybe next week!

[joshcryer]

56. It's only one pic.

[Populist_Prole]

51. K&R. Comparitively so, but he gets my vote

[JDPriestly]

59. There are a lot of things that I wish he would do differently, but basically, I like him.

I would have liked to see a primary challenge from the progressive side if only to keep Obama on his toes. He has really ignored a lot of the concerns of some of us who were his hardest working supporters in 2008.

[PufPuf23]

61. I am a certain vote for POTUS Obama in 2012

but think he is an evil man.

[mia]

63. K & R!
