Is there a "movement" underway to undermine Progressive Websites?
Cross posting by folks who are Freeps/CU'ers/ and Libertarians who have lurked and found out how to infiltrate?

Or, is this just alot of "disinformation" to distract, disrupt and just, in general, make many "newbies" afraid? IOW's, is all this "crossposting" or "supposed crossposting" just another "Psyops Campaign to make all of us suspicious of each other, one another so that we will be "very afraid" of even our fellow "Progressives?"

Seems to me there's some "Evil" afoot. And, I don't mean what Chimp refers to as his "Evil," but the kind of stuff that would disillusion and turn off many "mainstream" posters to Progressive Sites.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about, here? Shouldn't we be very speculative and questioning about folks posting names to sites so that we all go over there and try to find out what some other site is saying about us? And, all those posts about how one can get on DU and disrupt by becoming "lounge folk" and then moving on into the Forums after one has made "friends" there and gotten a higher post count?

Something smells to me about this...does it to you? :shrug:

5. Yeah...what's crossposting?
Whatever you're saying might be true. I just have to figure out what you're saying first. But it could definitely be whatever you think it is, maybe. Or not.

2. Paranoia or potential prosecution?
Edited on Mon Apr-12-04 06:54 PM by HypnoToad
Possibly.

Possibly not.

I refuse to be jerked around by them, whether their attacks are genuine or contrived to be perceived.

Incidentially, causing a DOS is illegal. These creeps can be tracked down and prosecuted.

3. Nader supporters could very well be freepers
that know they can come in here and disrupt in the name of Nader and not get banned. I see Nader disrupters as no different than a Bush supporter disruptor.

4. maybe they'll learn something over here
Usually what I've seen is their main goal is to disrupt. Used to happen on AOL message boards and chat rooms all the time. I find the thread at CU on how to be a mole here amusing and really sad.

6. I'm locking.
Nobody is infiltrating DU. People are just trying to make us paranoid. Please don't let them succeed.
