Aw...the people at that "other site" gave me my own thread.

[Mythsaje]

I'm touched.

And they posted my "controversial" thread in its entirety. heh heh.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2395947&mesg_id=2395947

I'm a third-rate sci-fi author, apparently. Not that they've ever read my stuff. Just knee-jerk reactionary bullshit from the usual suspects. The conjecture is that Heinlein is rolling over in his grave.

Oh, I agree. But I'd guess that Heinlein's coffin-whirling has more to do with the authoritarian government they support than anything I might have to say. Though he was no friend of liberals, he would've hated these assholes at least as much for helping to destroy the Constitution.

And as far as "loving to hate me," they just don't know me well enough yet.

One went so far as to say he prints my postings here to keep on his bedside table in case he can't fall asleep.

:rofl:

I just got a ton of hits from their site linked to mine. Doubt any will buy my books, but you never know. There might be a potential fan in there somewhere.

Now at least they know who I am.

:evilgrin:

[Rex]

1. Congrats, that is an honor!

I stay in deep cover over there, they have a tendency to bite your legs if you are too exposed. :evilgrin:

Again, congrats. :toast:

[Mythsaje]

3. They can actually REACH your legs?

I would've sworn they couldn't get above the ankles.

[Rex]

10. They have a tendency to hump the ankles. Crawl right up the leg if you

don't swat em off! Some get to be really BIG, the size of a rhino big. Rare indeed are these, they tend to be the owner of That Site and his closest lieutenants.

Average ones can be kept off with simple bugspray.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Which "other" site?

There are four or five of them with nothing better to do than talk about us.

Also, can my Dread Necromancer take the Tomb-tainted soul feat?

[Rex]

5. The Site.

The One That Will Not Be Named Here On DU.

[Mythsaje]

6. The one that must not be named.

Or is there more than one of those?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. I thought there were several.

[11 Bravo]

13. Only one which name must not be spoken.

[JeffR]

17. infantilebullcrap.com

There, I said it.

:shrug:

[sniffa]

4. pfft!! i'm nominated for the top 10 of the year

i put goatse to shame.

[Mythsaje]

8. Oooh. Top ten.

Congrats!

[JeffR]

11. That's the brass ring, sniffa!

Awesome!

[NanceGreggs]

36. Congratulations!

I am SO JEALOUS! Never made it to the Top Ten - but keep hoping for that honour ...

BTW, this thread has been up for a while, and still no 'takers' over there on reposting this discussion. Is it possible that the mommies of ALL ELEVEN posters call them up from the basement for naps at the same time?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

48. ***

:spray: Dammit -- just cleaned up the wine.

[tavalon]

62. It has been known to happen

I'm surprised you aren't greatly reviled over there, you write so well.

[JeffR]

9. Congrats!

Give it a week and they'll have manufactured a complete fake life story for you, including ominous references to "people who know him personally say...". Sometimes they seem to need a change of pace from making up shit about how great Iraq is & how great the economy is, poor little feebs.

[Mythsaje]

12. Oooh, I can't wait.

That should be really, really entertaining.

[madfloridian]

14. They call me a "mole".

They think I am a mole troll type waiting to be outed here. :rofl:

I never made top 10 though. :wow:

[sniffa]

15. look at what they say about my wife

she's a fat beast (at 115 pounds) who smokes meth (though some lovely DUers started that) and turns tricks.

:thumbsup:

[JeffR]

16. Wow! That's extreme

NanceGreggs is also obese, they claim, but they haven't assigned her any addiction except to booze. Guess she's just not trying hard enough.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Yeah, she needs to be more like me...

As in pretty low-key and mellow... :P

I gotta give em something for their creativity though! :rofl:

[JeffR]

22. Props to them for that

They have a whole alternate reality happening over there. Real reality ain't to their liking.

[Mythsaje]

19. Mine's a witch who doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks...

They can make of that what they will.

[JackBeck]

46. That's horrible and totally desperate.

But at least someone has a full, auto erection for you, so you've got some fans. I think he's polishing one off as we speak, given his noticeable silence upon your arrival.

:patriot:

[sniffa]

49. check your pm

[JackBeck]

60. So true.

I've just never been the same since my underage sex-filled romp in the DR.

[BuyingThyme]

21. Creativity frightens them, Mythsaje.

Exception to the rule: Sonny Bono.

:applause:

[BuyingThyme]

23. RECOMMENDATION #1.

[greyl]

24. Well, you might as well make the best of it and enjoy the attention, eh?

I doubt it's a great idea to give them attention, though.

[sniffa]

25. i'm sure there's a thread brewing about this

they are a bunch of primatives.

[NanceGreggs]

26. Way to go, Mythsaje!!!

Congratulations!!!

Wait until they get going on 'creating' your biography - keeping track of mine over there is SO entertaining!

Posted here recently that I was aiming a piece at the "lurkers whose home site exists solely for the purpose of discussing DU", and someone there said, "Hey, she's talking about us!" (So at least they're honest as to the true nature of their 'political website').

I just wish someone would get off their lazy ass and change their 'home page' news story once in a while -- they sometimes leave the same thing up there for four days at a stretch. Just shows you how into political news they really are.

Anyway, here's to you, my friend: :toast:

(Oh, and BTW - if you use the 'toast' emoticon, to them that means you're obviously an alcoholic.)

:rofl:

[Mythsaje]

32. Oh, yeah, I'm an alcoholic.

Considering I may drink a six pack of beer and a half dozen mixed drinks in a whole year.

They'll have to come up with something more imaginative than that.

Oh, wait. Who are we talking about again? Fat chance of THAT happening.

[NanceGreggs]

35. It doesn't matter if you actually drink or not ...

... it's the use of the :toast: that proves you're an alkie.

I guess if you use :thumbsup: it means you can't afford a car, so you have to hitch-hike everywhere.

And DON'T ever use :nuke: because that means you're a terrorist - (although it could also mean you're just a die-hard Dick Cheney fan!)

[Ghost in the Machine]

27. I posted your "Saying Goodbye" in the religion forum at Craigs List

I think a few heads exploded there... some of the replies were almost comical.. if they hadn't been serious.

I still have it posted on one of my sites:

"Saying Goodbye"


Since the Muddle East has yet again exploded into its own particular version of insanity, it seems all too likely that the time of the Rapture is almost upon us, and all those godly folks will be taking their leave of this mortal coil by being sucked up into heaven to leave us sinners in the foulness of the time of Tribulation.

This being the case, I thought I'd provide a handy guide for the heretics, pagans, and other non-believers to say goodbye to their soon-to-be-departing loved ones.

1. Pack warm clothing. It gets cold up there on the clouds, and your loved ones will need extra sweaters and a good winter coat.

2. Include no worldly entertainment. The rest of their eternal existence will be spent groveling before God, so they will no longer need their favorite novels (probably written by unrepentant sinners who won't be in heaven anyway) or DVDs. And, yes, this does include their extensive porn collections.

3. Include extra underwear. The process of being sucked into heaven will most likely cause some people to release their bladders and/or bowels, and therefore it's a good idea to include as many pairs of underwear as physically possible, considering the room required by winter clothing.

4. Pictures of loved ones. A group photo of all members of the family NOT considered likely candidates for Rapture would be a wonderful going away present.

5. A satellite map of Earth, so when they're looking down upon high, observing the carnage, they are more easily able to locate their loved ones' locale.

[Mythsaje]

30. ROFL

I imagine it needled a lot of people.

I just had an anonymous yahoo identity from DC join my yahoo group. I find that...intriguing.

Wonder if it's a DUer or someone from out there. :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Good for you!!

I say anything to keep them from wrecking the country is fine by me. So if they want to talk about me or you or any other relatively insignificant person on the internet then they can just knock themselves out.

I love your attitude.

I didn't realize Heinlein hated liberals. Stranger in a Strange Land is one of my all-time favorite books.

[Mythsaje]

31. I don't know if "hated" is the right word.

He always came across as a Libertarian to me. And, yeah, I agree about Stranger.

[proud2BlibKansan]

42. If that book is indicative of his attitude about organized religion,

he sure wasn't a right wing evangelical. :rofl:

[Mythsaje]

43. No. He wasn't a fan of religion.

Nor was Frank Herbert, who also tended to be a bit on the conservative side.

[immoderate]

33. Heinlein was a classic libertarian. (Note the small "l".)

He promoted the idea that citizenship should be earned by military service. And rugged individualism was his marque.

My favorite was the "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." I named several generations of cats after characters in that book.

--IMM

[dapper]

29. Them folks is crazy...

All they seem to post about there is what goes on here.

I also think it's funny how their signatures rant and rave against liberals. These folks have nothing better to do.

Sad website it is.

Dap

[immoderate]

37. Congratulations!

I found myself quoted over there. Li'l ol' me! (Taken out of context of course.) Shows you how dedicated they are, because most people here don't notice me. LOL!

--IMM

[DCKit]

38. You are far too modest....

Any Freeper who keeps your stories about Republicon misdeeds next to his bed is only reading them 'cause they make him HOT.

You need to write a comprehensive rant about all the misdeeds of the past seven years, publish the book and audio set and compile a video from MSM sources. They'll make you rich as you create a whole new genre: Republifreep porn.

[Mythsaje]

40. Now THAT'S funny...

It's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read it. It would've fried my laptop.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

51. ROTFLMAO!!!

:rofl:

:spray:

:rofl:

[MindPilot]

39. Oh ick you made me look.

:puke:

[Mythsaje]

41. That's why I linked to my original thread...

So people wouldn't have to soil themselves by going there to see what the hubub was about.

;)

[Dark]

44. Yep, my account still exists there. I'm surprised.

Congrats on your nomination. If <i>they</i> don't like you, you're doing something right!

[Mythsaje]

45. That whole thread is funny.

Amazing how people with no political bias actually seem to enjoy my work. Reviewers, editors, other authors. But to THEM I'm a no-talent hack.

One of them actually ran a grammar check on my BIO, of all things, to determine the reading level. Like that means anything.

Last I checked the thread had gone three pages. Of course now the amusement value is fading. Ah, well.

[Dark]

47. Oh, no, that's when the amusement really begins.

Go argue with them. They're so pathetic; especially the admin, who, when you start kicking their asses, he'll be so petty as to change aspects of your profile.

It's all very juvenile, but what can you expect from a bunch of people who STILL support Bush.

[Horse with no Name]

50. Last time I went cesspool wading over there

I was honored to find that I was an honorable mention for a Top 10 DUmmy.
However, it's been awhile--I might be full-fledged by now.

Sooo...if they can call ME a Top 10 DUmmy...does that mean I can call THEM a Top 10 CUmmy?

[AlCzervik]

52. "The new phone books are here, the new phones books are here!"

“Page 73, Johnson, Navin, R.! I’m somebody now! Millions of people look at this book every day! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity, your name in print, that makes people. I’m in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.”

[Mythsaje]

55. The Jerk.

How fitting. LOL

[AlCzervik]

57. and you must have hit a nerve.

:toast:

[Mythsaje]

58. Apparently so.

I can't imagine what I said that would rile them so. Now they've gone into an orgy of deconstruction...comparing my stuff to comic books--as if that's an insult. Several reviewers, as well as one of my editors, has said that they'd make great graphic novels, if not tv shows or movies.

:shrug:

Of course, what to they know? Obviously conservative asshats with so little going for them that they spend their time trolling DU for material are more knowledgable about literature than people in the business.

:headbang:

[tavalon]

63. I was once derided

for having a part in trying to save someone's life. So, their barometer of what's okay and what's heinous is well, a bit fucked up.

[Mythsaje]

67. Mental defectives. Morally and ethically bankrupt.

I'd expect nothing better of them.

[gordianot]

53. I knew Robert Heinlein and his brother when I was 16.

One thing the brothers despised was religious fundamentalist deniers of evolution and "the potential of life". I went for a hunt in the local creek for pre-historic monsters "MudPuppies" after one such lectures with the old General and Robert Heinlein wading in the muck and goo like kids. We did not find any that day but the old General brought them to the house a couple weeks later and sent pictures to Robert.

My favorite conversation was a debate about Bobby Kennedy, the older Heinlein and Robert had reservations about Vietnam. Although conservative I know for an absolute fact they would despise the fundamentalist authoritarian pussies who call themselves conservatives today. The old General (elder brother) lectured Robert about the futility of the Vietnam war although a lifelong Republican vowed to vote for Bobby Kennedy. Heresy I tell you.

[Mythsaje]

56. Yeah...that pretty much confirms my own thoughts about him...

He would hate what the U.S. has become.

[Bolo Boffin]

54. Me, too!

It's amazing how small some people's lives are.

[sniffa]

59. i love your avatar btw

i wish i saw more of them here. :thumbsup:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

61. Good for you!

Piss em off, piss em off, WAAAYYYY OFFF!!!

They think we are all destroying America, that we hate America because we want to preserve the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and that none of us have guns or jobs. The Republican Congress used to scream about "rule of law" but it looks like they are quite good at evading the law. The present Bush administration made an art out of getting deferments to not serve in Vietnam (Dick Cheney got five or six). They think none of us have served in the military. Nor have any of our relatives. My dad served quite honorably in the Army Air Corps. So did my uncle. Dad was a liberal Democrat (even before the war) and my uncle was an actual Socialist/Technocrat. Dad was too valuable to go into combat, because of his technical ability. I tried to get in OCS after graduation but was rejected for health reasons.


My hubby is a liberal and his dad was a Lieutenant Colonel and his grandfather was a Lieutenant General. Having a General in your family isn't too shabby. His parents loved Eisenhower. (Remember Eisenhower, the one who made the speech warning us about the military-industrial complex? That is now known as Halliburton-Blackwater-Custer Battles, and many other private companies who have gotten sweetheart deals).

But then, back when he was a kid there was a thing called a fiscally conservative Republican. They didn't get in peoples' private lives, either. They didn't legislate morality. Barry Goldwater said "You don't have to be straight to shoot straight." He was referring to gays in the military. Those sort of Republicans are just about extinct, except for John Dean. Bill Clinton had to dig us out of a deficit that Reagan and Bush ran up. Bill Clinton was the one being fiscally responsible.


I'm still waiting for those who think the Iraq war is such a good idea to go volunteer and serve over there. Haven't seen a one of them do it. The Iraqis didn't attack us with jets in the first place. Not one single Iraqi attacked the World Trade Center. Saudi Arabians did. But Bush holds hands with the sheik and was once business partners with Salem Bin Laden, Osama's deceased brother. We can't make the Saudis mad since we do business with them.

But now we've made an awful lot of enemies, going in and destroying Iraq, which was quite educated and secular. Women could actually work outside the home, when Saddam was in power. Now they are whipped and hounded and murdered by the morality police. Now wouldn't you shoot anyone who invaded your country from a foreign land, in Humvees and helicopters and dropped bombs on you? That's what the Iraqis are doing. Fighting back. They did nothing to us.

And Iran is not building nuclear weapons either!

There was a story on 60 Minutes about how Christians are now persecuted in Iraq, and now they have to meet in secret, and all the men have been dragged off and killed. An Anglican minister they interviewed said that things are completely different than they were under Saddam. He also pointed out that the history of Christianity, as far as the Crusades and killing infidels, was just as bad as that of Islam.

Boy we really brought religious freedom to Iraq didn't we? (SARCASM ALERT)

[HughBeaumont]

65. I don't know . . .

Should I be relieved that the CUmstains haven't mentioned me or offended because I'm not making enough waves?

Hey, at least they discovered nesting, unlike RimJob and his merry bunch of Carnival Cruise-mates.

[Mythsaje]

66. Unless you like attention and don't mind what kind it is,

I'd say you're better off going unnoticed.
