(7,804 posts)"Hillary Sparklechops and the Magic Pantsuit" in the style of Beatrix Potter but I think that might have gone a little too far even for me.

(65,616 posts)Why alert stalk when you can go for the throat right off the bat? How are the troops doing in GD-P? They got a long ways to go, I hope they are drinking gatoraide and getting enough sleep!
The GD-P keyboard warrior losses are staggering...they keep wondering back into GD, lost and disoriented.

(7,804 posts)I've left them to it for a bit, what with RL things to sort. I think they're doing OK.
The Others are strutting, of course, and enjoying themselves immensely. They remind me of myself when I used to think pissing heterosexuals off was a good way of getting them to accept my sexual orientation. Watching them peacocking around and daring others to speak ill of them is actually making me strangely nostalgic and wistful in memory of those times... Ahhhhh, I'm turning into an old queen.
Anyway, I was astoundingly rude there recently to the extent that I actually shocked myself and thought: "hmf. I don't HAVE to do this..." and went off to Discussionist to have conversations with conservatives who do peculiarly human things like stick to the subject and take an interest in what you say and concede points. It's a bit surreal...
I'm in the middle of a chat with a guy there who thinks gay people are gay because of parental abuse or doting mothers. He's trying very hard to be polite. It's rather sweet... I'm stuck because I can't think of a similarly polite way of telling him he's making it up even though he's convinced he knows that these things are causes even though he also acknowledges he hasn't the faintest idea how erotic energy might be mapped according to such processes. And I really, really want to be polite to him!!!
It's so much more difficult when you have to explain things. Much easier to just megaphone and stamp and make noise. So much more rewarding in the short term and so unsatisfying in the long term.
I'm think I'm getting too old for this site...

(65,616 posts)I racked up the hides fast, I just cannot help but fuck with the Reaganites on DI. It is my problem, I will be the first to admit to it. They just line themselves up like bowling pins over there.
I hear ya my friend, everyone wants to yell but nobody wants to listen. I stay out of GD-P, I've seen some of the warrior names in there and they can all smash me in a sub-thread. I leave the war up to the pros and hang in GD mostly.
You know...you are never too old to hang out in GD or LBN or the Lounge. IMO.
I don't know what to tell you...you are trying to be nice to a troglodyte backed into a corner, careful they get the most vicious when backed into a corner!
If my account is still active...look for Tex to make a comment or three.

Oh well!

(7,804 posts)This is me, ok? :
They're either paid or bored. Probably more likely they're bored as I can't for the life of me see how anyone could justify paying them. They're the worst advocates for a candidate I've ever seen.
I've seen better advocacy for Jim fucking Murphy during the GE in the UK.
This is just a flat out screaming fuck-up from beginning to end. It's as if the Universe itself keeps providing them with opportunities to confront themselves and learn wholesome, human behaviour and they stamp and stomp and stick their fingers in their ears like fucking three year olds and screech about how unfair it is and carry on with the same bug-fuck baby thinking and crappy behaviour to prove they were right the first time.
It's exactly the same petulant self-absorption that Republicans indulged in to the end of their fucking tongues just after 9/11.
It's exactly the same.
from this, post #351:

This is basically the rudest thing I've ever said on the site, possibly the rudest thing I've EVER said ON THE INTERNET, and it gets a 1-6 LEAVE??? I was half-expecting to be banned.
It's like I don't exist!

(68,918 posts)That would earn a hide from me.
You did not personally attack a DUer, and this is still primary season. It's all good.
sibelian
(7,804 posts)I didn't even mean Hillary supporters, there are plenty of nice ones, just That Crowd, you know who I mean.
Anyway, better steer clear of any further Talk of That Sort here. GD has been remarkably placid of late, and I think it's largely because the wrestlers have set up camp in the Place of Pain.

No matter how heated the board gets YOU NEVER GET HIDDEN. ARRRRG. It's like you KNOW.

(30,481 posts)Overall the jury system more often than not lets things stand. Of the posts I have had hidden, I only take issue with one. I say take issue but I never actually brought it up here. I simply don't see an issue and just about every hide I have seen has been worthy of that hide. When a post claiming POC are suffering from Stockholm for supporting a progressive stands, the problem isn't with too many posts being hidden.

I've bought a rubber ball and everything, so I can do the Steve McQueen Great Escape thing.
Sigh. I'm so un-macho.
