Good Gawd A'Mighty! Freeper Trolls and CU'ers have been making fun
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 09:46 PM by KoKo01
of me on their websites! FOR SHAME!

A DU post of mine from my heart and in angst has been posted not only in those two infamous sites, but in Conservative Blogs on the Net.

It was my post about "Leaving America" when Dan Rather caved on the AWOL
story.

Disgusting...

(Found this out when some person claimed the "Gummit" was "pinging" their website last night on their "Firewall" and a poster on the thread said we DU'ers might be surprised if we did a "Google" on our DU nicknames.}

Well...I did...and there are folks using my posts all over the Internet.

I'm thinking about "copywriting" every damn thing I post here, if these "freeptard hacks" want to use my posts to get viewers to their sites...

:puke:

1. No need to
It is already a copyright violation -- unless they're just posting a fraction of each post.

5. You're kidding! I was up until 2a.m. last night reading stuff that I
was creeped out about with MY name on posts. Heard more crap about who was a "troll" and whatever on DU than I ever wanted to know...to listen to them, DU is crawling with trolls who have nothing better to do than come into DU Lounge...rack up posts and then come out and trash us then go back to their caves where the "knuckle draggers dwell" and rant about their "escapades" on DU where all of us are wimpy, idiots...clueless folk (folks like KoKo01) who post stuff that's so bizarre and filled with hyperbole that one wonders when the "straight jackets" are going to be applied.

Who are these gross idiots. And, why would they spend time here on DU in the first place and then go back into their filthy caves and chuckle and gloat when our whole damned country is going to hell.

Maybe they are those folks in the "over $200,000 bracket "skeered" to death that Kerry is going to tax their crooked rewards from the Stock Market Swindling or they are laid off Bankers and Hedge Fund/Mortgage Loan Shops....or maybe they are just clueless folks in their local libraries who somehow managed to learn to use AOL and find some RW web site...but really...it's hard to believe we are supposed to live in a civilized world in an enlightened time...if folks have to resort to posting my DU rants around to get hits...UGH!

21. I should delete it on Photo bucket
I can put it up on another image hosting site and that might get rid of the picture on their end.

32. The problem is that if YOU want to use it, they can too..
My site has been Overrun lately.. This month I had almost 400K "unique hits" whatever the hell that is.,.:shrug:

I PUT the pics there so I could link to them, but if I restrict linking, then I cannot use them either..:grr:/

I did figure out a way that they cannot link to large or original versions..but I am a dunce, so I cannot figure out how to do more to keep people from linking..

4. Hmmm... just googled my username...and
found that I'm on Google.
I don't know whether that's a good witch or a bad witch, as Glenda might say. Hmmmmm.

I certainly hope this is NOT my fifteen minutes of fame.
Because I really wanted to use mine wisely.

Darn!

Kerry On!

6. Good Point...Once one gets over the shock that Idiots post your musings
to amuse themselves, then you do kind of have to chuckle and realize that what we've accomplished here on DU dwarfs their "teeny you know whats" even more.

They have nothing better to do...while we discuss, make plans, and WORK HARD TO TAKE BACK AMERICA!

They just sit in their caves and smell each others well...I don't want to get foul here.

9. Here are a bunch of us on a right wing blog, how funny.
this is regarding the Eminem video:

montana500: the GREATESt anti-Bush video or ad yet! Please phone or call MTV to have them play this ASAP

Hailtothechimp: That hits just the right chord. Dark. Angry. Relentless. and, most of all, ready to act on it.

jdjkkse: I am so glad Eminem has realized the power of his talent. and is astute enough to know that the people who are his most loyal supporters are also the people who are most likely to get drafted.Does anyone know the name of this tune? I'd like to get the lyrics. God bless him for fighting the REAL enemy, finally. Now he's getting up to prophet status."No more blood for oil. We got our own battle to fight on our own soil." Now that's what I call art!

RoyGBiv: "Dethrone this weapon of mass destruction ..."I am in awe. I have been wondering where the rage is in our music, where is the call to arms. I see it now and again, but this was simple and plain and clear.I once could not tolerate this guy. Then he grew on me. I think I just became a fan.

autorank: Move over Bob Dylan. Hope this is widely seen!

deuce98: its not my kind of music but D*** THAT WAS F***** AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody questioning the youth vote now is clueless!

mcg: Eminem, you just made me a fan. We will donate to air this if need be. At least I will. Let's get this on MVT and BET.

So just because Eminem makes an anti-Bush music video, all of the sudden people who don't like rap and didn't like Eminem before are now big fans. Now, supposedly, Kerry has "the youth vote" wrapped up (never mind that a large portion of this audience is under voting age.)

Congratulations, Enimen. You've managed to not only earned the praise of a bunch of ignorant lunatics (Democratic Underground,) you will now be listed among some of the great political minds in the industry, like Moby and Cher. Hope you are happy with yourself

16. I googled me...
And I found it remarkable how little I am quoted and reposted on FreePeeZ sites.

That clinches it. I will just have to try harder to piss off the bucketheads. ;-)

Can you check all of my messages for mistakes because I don't have a grammar and spell checker on my desktop. When I am in the heat of a moment I don't reread my message so it might come in handy if i had some extra help. :hug:

7. Unfortunately, it's part and parcel of the internet experience
Those of us who grew up with BBS's in the 80s (especially Fidonet and CitaNet), Usenet in college (before it sucked) or IRC in the 90s (before it too sucked) have learned that sometimes you just have to have a thick skin about it. I know that doesn't ease the shock and pain of having your innermost sacred thoughts ridiculed by imbeciles with the sensitivity of a boulder. There's just not much you can do about it other than keeping a very sharp distinction between your net persona and your real life self. Also, it doesn't hurt to use a different nick for each place you post.

Now, if you've been using the internet or the web for a long time, google previous nicks you've used. It's usually good for a laugh (if you don't die of embarrassment) at some of the really naive, stupid or just plain boneheaded things you might have said in the past and forgotten about. I know I really cringe at some of the idiotic questions and statements I've made on Usenet groups when I was a Linux newbie!

At the very least, try to cheer yourself up by thinking about how much amusement anybody with half a brain gets reading those cretins' posts. :-)

20. Thanks for the advice on that. DU is the only place I've ever posted so
I don't have that background to figure that some person is going to pull out something I say and post it elsewhere.

It's good advice, what you say, and thanks for posting your experience and the caution. :-)'s

8. A year or so ago, a fellow DUer found my name...
on a Reich Wing site, calling me a traitor. It was taken down after I started a thread on it here.

I wonder if it would be worthwile to google my name and dig through all the airplane references to see if anyone has done it again...

17. If you go down to page 12 or so on Google...you'll find more stuff,
probably. It's amazing that folks have nothing better to do than steal what other folks write and then try to use it for their own ends...

Idiots...can't think of anything on their own that's worthwhile to say,that anyone would listen to...so they steal our stuff.

10. Its the GOP mentality thats done it to them
Think about it. What did the Bush camp call the OBL tape? A little gift.

Why would they call something like that a gift? Because they think that Bush has presented himself as a safety net to people who are frightened for thier saftey from terrorist.

Why does Bush want them afraid? To control them. Why are they afraid of you? Habits, and fear. Bush has convinced all these mindless applesauce consumers and koolaid drinkers he will keep them safe by moving the terra alerts up and down and waging a war for oil in a facade of stregth. Socially the world has seen this sort of thing before. Germany used the same tactics and wrapped fear in a flag of patriotism and sat it atop religion. All Bush has done is sully the flag and disgrace the Bible. They dont see that and its a shame they dont but they are so frightened they are afraid to look at truth.


Remember..
I love my country always, and my government when it deserves it.

They get the two confused. Too bad since it is the govt of and by the people.
They forget who it is that works for who. The govt works for the people and the people have the power to fire the leaders and get new ones. WE are in the process of doing that. It may take some time but as Bush tried to say.. Fool me one, shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me. We shall not be fooled again.

12. Those people are pathetic, no-life geeks!
Think about it. How do they spend their nights? Visiting liberal websites so they can make fun of its members. People with lives don't waste their lives on such trivial, callow, mean-spirited pursuits.

Your typical freeper/CUer is a white male who lives with his parents, has either never had sex with a partner--or else has had awkward sex once or twice with a woman who never wanted to see him again--and blames his failings on everybody and everything but himself.

In a word: LOSER!!!

on some wingnut site last year. I felt invaded, too, but nothing came of it and I can't find it now. Just be careful not to reveal personal information that might enable anyone who fixates on you to find and harass you or interfere with your life. Because it happens.

25. I went over there
After reading your thread. What a bunch of obsessive assholes. I think they secretly like us, and want to join, but are loser assholes who wouldn't be able to keep up. I mean, why else spend so much time talking about another website you "hate". There are a very few good DUers over there that I really like here; it's just not my kind of thing.

This kind of website is as old as the internet. Every good, popular board with huge membership I've ever belonged to, no matter the subject, had a mirror website full of troglodyte mouth foaming obsessive asses.

34. It's my first time seeing this...so it's mind boggling seeing the hatred
and ridicule. They are typical of the Gingrich/Limbaugh mentality.

What pitiful lives when all you can do is obsess over an internet discussion site. They don't even seem to discuss any issues. :shrug:

31. Vetwife had a thread going about this a little while ago..it got locked
I too was surprised to find my moniker all over google. I was only picked up once by a freep colony. The rest of the stuff on google was mostly all the posts I've posted HERE.

A few were from other sites and one was an email profile..though the profile wasn't complete with every single detail, thank goodness. I find it all rather disturbing---not the part about freep sites monitoring us, but the part about search engines picking up my data; what the hell is that good for anyway?

I'm happy to learn from the professionals in here that I should be more careful about what I disclose. Thanks for that.

It's time to "re do" some stuff...

Edited on Sun Oct-31-04 04:03 AM by vetwife
outed about a year ago and not by me. I had never been to a freeper site until tonight. C-Span and that interview and my deal with CNN. C-Span pointed everything about me on that interview ..I mean everything. CNN had my name and when I put out the CD, I thought What the heck, they already know me. I am there. Just sorry you all have been outed. About myself, and outing DU didn't do it, I didn't do it but actually I was outed back in 2000 when I went and ate with VP Gore and Tipper and it made the newspaper and the editor was a winger on all of those sites. Oh Well. We were fighting on my thread on GD with the freepers when the thread got locked. I went in on their turf and took it to them ! I was so angry about Mari 333. Funny part is, I did call Falwell at Liberty Uiversity and of course the freepers sent me hate mail and said I didn't talk to the Chancellor and that the secretary said a crazy woman was screaming. What a bunch of hooey. I quoted scripture and she lied because I talked to someone who sounded like Jerry Blinky Falwell and said he was the Chancellor and was just coming out of a meeting. Whether it was , she lied either to me or to the Freepers. One thing for sure we know that bunch never lies or makes mistakes . She was Covering her butt for not screening better is my bet. Oh Well ! Ya'll know I don't yell and especially if I am talking about my faith !
Those Freeps acutally asked if my husband got a purple heart from being married to me. Lowlifes !They also called me a few other choice names..These people are truly sick ! They were nice to me compared to what they call Marie 333.

These freeptards are going apeshit over my comment on Cruella deVile. I see at least 3 blogs going apeshit. I stand by my comment on that, and further went to one disgusting website and demanded that they acknowledge me properly.

Of course, they won't, but that's besides the point.

38. Some weblog called "Veritas" picked up my post and trashed it...but I
wondered why they found it worthwhile enough to bother with. :D

I never could understand why they couldn't understand why I felt America was so bad...deviant from our Constitution and Bill of Rights...that I would want to leave! However, they seemed to enjoy that I was in angst and wanted to gloat and chortle over it.

However, my reading of History is that I'm on the "winning side" in the end...and they are NOT.... (In their ignorance of history and literature, they don't understand their own fate, but are trying to predict mine and others who disagree with them.)
