So why not demoralize FReeperville?

[Jackpine Radical]

If everyone around here is getting all bummed out, think how many things the other guys have to think about.

WMD haven't been found.
Bush lied. (I mean, uh..misspoke himself)
Poindexter is packing.
The Saudi connection is maybe about to explode.
Shrub is sinking in the polls.
Bush is making an idiot of himself with asinine comments about the economy & joblessness.
Dean is scooping up gobs of $$ in small donations, & taking the battle to TX.

Why not exercise your creativity, join that Other Site, & start posting some gloom there?

1. I can't join that freakshow.

I'll still read, but I can't run the risk of being issued a "ZOT!" I mean, c'mon, what's worse than a bunch of undereducated pricks posting a series of pictures and yelling "ZOT!" at me? God forbid they address an issue or two, without the usual string of jingoistic bullshit.

Yeah, so maybe I'm biased. Sue me.

B U _ _ S H _ _
ShrubSucks
Ann_Coulter_is_a_Man

3. Oh---that is not allowed. Anything anti-Bush is not allowed there,

unless you have been a freeper for a very long time.

ANd the admin moderators there are very paranoid about it, so that frequently even the most reasonable posters get banned.

And if a freeper sounds the alert for any reason (they have been known to do this even to eachother for personal reasons), that's it.

5. Question

Why do you still go there?

I tried it once and my blood pressure shot up, I had to leave.

4. I don't get it...

..DU fights a constant battle against disruptors causing our moderators to work overtime to keep the forum swept clean. We don't like it when trolls come over and make posts simply to create havoc on the forum...

...yet I quite often see suggestions made by members here that it would be a clever and fun idea to go over and distrupt their forum.

Wouldn't it be better just to leave them be? I mean, aren't they already bitter enough as it is?

If people want to see what is going on in the rightwing nut asylum then go over there and read their posts, but what is the point of knowingly mucking up their forum?

I think we should try to set a decent example and not advocate intentionally causing trouble on other moderated forums. It ain't cool when they do it, and it is just as bad when people here advocate we do it to them.
