Can we make an agreement that if someone here at D/U becomes famous or infamous that none of the

[sarcasmo]

Posts get scrubbed, or vanished. I fined it very odd that this Museum shooter has been vanished from the Internet. Who is making this Man vanish? I am making my statement that if I for any reason become infamous, or famous that I don't want my thousands of posts scrubbed from the internet. Flame away.

1. You got it.

Pinky swear.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. If I end up on the front pages,

you better all start pounding those keys about how you Knew Me When, and it better be good language and perfect syntax, because I don't want people to start thinking that DU is anything like freerepublic.com.

And try to keep those "She was nice, but quiet, and sort of kept to herself" comments to a minimum.

Got it?

[sarcasmo]

7. Exactly, but we have to be fair both ways, if we have a nut we must expose the nut.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

21. Nut this..............

[Stinky The Clown]

35. Hey, pal ....... LaBamba .........

...... *is* a nut.

5. Those ones especially.

[TahitiNut]

4. All fines should be even.

:dunce:

[SpiralHawk]

9. That's an odd suggestion

30. Sounded fine

to me.







I feel Fine.

32. Thank you

Very much for that picture from the bottom of my heart.

6. What if you fall on your head and wake up a Republican

And then get famous? Will you still want all your tea bagging jokes out there for your new friends to see?

[sarcasmo]

8. Tea bag away.

[Posteritatis]

10. I actually am curious as to whether DU's admins have a policy on this (nt)

[sarcasmo]

12. The reason I posted this, I would like an answer.

[havocmom]

16. I think if a poster incites violence/makes credible threats

the authorities would get co-operation. And yes, we assume the feds are watching so anything really provocative would be indicative of some real dumbshittery.

[sarcasmo]

18. The museum guy had posts on freerepublic that were either scrubbed by freerepublic or told to be

scrubbed by someone of authority.

[havocmom]

19. Yes, I know that. Thinkin the managment here is a bit more socailly responsible

And recall some incident from the past here that got our attention.

edited to ad: my post you responded to was about here at DU. That was the OP question, was it not?

[havocmom]

14. Seem to recall a dust up few years back, but it did not involve violence/terrorism

Anybody remember details? Think there were some people asking questions.

[sarcasmo]

15. I guess I want to clear the air, and know what the D/U administration rules on this subject.

[havocmom]

17. they put their email right there for you. Ask where it would matter

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

11. They probably scrub my posts as I write them.

:P

[MineralMan]

13. Lord knows I do. A clean post is a good post.

:bounce:

[DCKit]

23. Who are you, and how did you get to 1,000+ posts? n/t

[BlooInBloo]

24. :P

[krispos42]

20. Gone from public viewing does not mean gone from the servers

Or the backups.

Jus' sayin'.

[sarcasmo]

25. I get that concept but the only people who could obtain them would be the ISP right?

[BlooInBloo]

26. Or the website owners. Or the owners of any server that the file hopped thru...

On it's long trip from source to destination.

[krispos42]

33. No, they only provide the actual internet service

The owner of the side, the site administrators, own the servers and what's on them.

The ISP could track down internet traffic, I think.

22. Jack Cafferty hit a bicycle messenger with his car and dragged the bike some distance.

Five people, including at least one cop, yelled at him to stop.

He went to court, and paid a fine, after he negotiated a deal with the victim. This happened just a few years ago.

Try finding that story in a PRIMARY source on the internet. It's been scrubbed from all the papers, even though in the SECONDARY sources, blogs and whatnot, you can still find it.

Newsmen take care of each other, too, just like rightwing whackjobs do. It's not that odd. If you want permanent records, you've gotta go to the library. If it's in cyberspace, it's easy to "disappear" stuff.

Yay for the Memory Hole--wish they'd keep pictures, videos and gifs too.

[Horse with no Name]

34. I wish they would disappear all the viagra ads, free meals from chilis,

popups, and all those chain emails that get revived by the rightwing loonies.

[shadowknows69]

27. Hell with that. If I become famous there will be a $1 charge to read any of my posts

Skinner and company get 15% as my new agents :P

[RB TexLa]

28. So if that were to happen, and all the hits come because of it, I guess you'll tell the owners

of DU to shut up and pay for it because it serves what purpose?

[sarcasmo]

38. Because it's Nazi like to scrub someones posts, and why would D/U complain about the internet hits?

You would think that would boost revenue.

[RB TexLa]

39. Only if they clicked an ad after reading whatever post otherwise they just

take bandwidth and cost money.

37. freerepublic deleted every post he made on their site.

[stop the bleeding]

31. I'm having a hard time fineding what you mean.

36. I'm sure von Brunn felt the same way about his post/pages

but unless you own the media, its someone elses choice
