schadenfreude. And not just on a DU level, on a national level as well as the well known antics of a group of people here and the rest of the Internet seem to have completely blown up in their faces. And God knows they were warned. Over and over and over again.
So to bravenak, one of my favorite posters. And to Revolutionary Generation, one of my favorite PE tracks (I posted it here on DU not too long ago for somebody else). And to karma. Sweet, sweet karma.

(24,544 posts)We know that certain folks, nerves still raw and eyes still red from bawling over their candidate's rapidly imploding campaign, will have the ITCHIEST of alert fingers today and probably will for the next few days.
People used to have entire threads dedicated to grave dancing but now that most of the graves are being dug from one side, it's suddenly verboten and in "bad taste" to do something that this site has done since its inception. Fuck that.

(99,710 posts)If I want to communicate a thought to one of my friends here I use the PM function. It is what is.

(8,709 posts)Oh, I hate being tempted to go there but off I go! Thanks, Number23!

(8,709 posts)that he was on AA group's banned list. That should have been a no-brainer for me.
I know that I'm sore about not liking any of the Dem candidates but to actually post that was asking for it. He went wild, ran amok and lost whatever this election season did to his mind. Poor fing.
Number23
(24,544 posts)Seriously.
How he managed to still be able to post on this web site or, even more bewilderingly, why anyone here listened to a single word he said after he said that is one of the greatest DU Mysteries of All Time.
Kind of Blue
(8,709 posts)to people yet.
That just gave me the chills and feel like crying that he was tolerated for so long. Once again, AA group leads the way.
Fuck outta here, almost 8 years too late.

(11,243 posts)so I went to my hidden posters list and found that account on the FIRST TRY Figured it would be one of them, but apparently my radar is impeccable.

(89,252 posts)including the chicken and watermelon thread he posted. they loved that shit .
and the truth is that the person was nothing more than a shit stirring attention seeking troll who didn't give a shit about Sanders or Warren other than to use them to attack other democrats.
Number23
(24,544 posts)These people knew EXACTLY what that person was doing. And they knew exactly what they were doing running to K&R every boring, divisive, deliberately shit stirring post of his.
and the truth is that the person was nothing more than a shit stirring attention seeking troll who didn't give a shit about Sanders or Warren other than to use them to attack other democrats.
You fucking nailed it.
And now the mourners are moaning about leaving DU. Considering DU's numbers have been in the shitter for years because of these people and the untold number of DUers who have said that they wouldn't even consider recommending DU to any of their friends because of how unhinged so many of the posters here are, do they think that they will be missed?
I'd love to see a dramatic reduction in the Perpetually Petulant, anarchist "left" and an increase in actual Democrats here. I might actually start donating again.

(31,849 posts)I have been in, at least, 6 sub-threads in which he denied posting that!

(24,544 posts)A reduction in the amount of anti-Democratic anarchist left posters and an increase in actual Democrats would only be a good thing for this place.

(297,323 posts)Thank you, DSB, for your honor to Bravenak. For being censored and off DU because a certain element doesn't like her.
Kind of Blue
(8,709 posts)ANOTHER time-out. They will not let Bravenak even get her half-measure but there's no stopping her.
"If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?" Sojourner Truth's Ain't I A Woman.
We Love You, Bravenak Thank You!

(8,709 posts)proven correct time and time again no matter how nicely or fiercely she presents it, it doesn't matter.
I guess the truth just doesn't set some people free. Constantly dragging them kicking and screaming to even their own freedom inescapably tied to ours.

(10,893 posts)Bravenak more than she needs DU, to put it bluntly. This place is lucky to have posters like her who always tell it like it is regarding issues facing minority communities, and the things that politicians and their supporters need to say and do to address our concerns. She is a superb writer and is strong for being willing to linger around for this long after all the coward alert-stalking she put up with.
