Have you ever posted things about DU or DUers

[prolesunited]

on other message boards?

[Lavender Brown]

1. I don't even visit other message boards

It would feel like I was cheating on DU! :loveya:

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. There's other message boards?

Wow...the things you find when you stray from DU for a while :)

[asthmaticeog]

3. Some libertarian asshole on plastic.com once disparaged DU

and I tore him one. Does that count?

[qnr]

24. self-delete, replied to wrong post

[HEAVYHEART]

4. Nope

I used to troll in rethug forums and I would get banned on the same week. lol. Now I only post on DU. :loveya:

[iconoclastic cat]

5. Yes, but only on dKos.

I only jump between DU and dKos, as far as boards go.

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. I used to be a moderator on a similar board called Our Own Media.

It's been gone for about a year. Someone hacked the site and people lost interest.

God_bush_n_cheney also was a moderator. The software had an internal chat function and GB&C invited people via DU to come over there, register and chat with us. A number of DU members did...this board did not exist to compete with DU, but rather complement it.

Anyway, we'd welcome the new members to the board.

Other than that? No. Who has enough time to waste on that?

7. Talked about NightTrain's Saturday night radio show in a few places

Haven't mentioned DU, though, I like to keep nonpolitical boards nonpolitical.

[Tweed]

22. What station is NightTrain's show on?

PM me if you need to

28. WHUS

67. Well thanks, Juan!

Word of mouth is, after all, the best advertising!

For the uninitiated, you can visit my show's website at www.soulexpressradio.com

[madinmaryland]

8. There are other message boards out there?

I can't handle freerepublic or lucianne.

:puke:

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. No but

I post stuff from other message boards here. hee hee

Now I do post links I find here to articles, etc on other boards but I would never post a link to DU. We have enough freepers who find us without my help. :)

[nickgutierrez]

10. Can't say that I have.

Anyway, chances are that most people on a baseball message board wouldn't have the slightest clue what DU is anyway.

[Solly Mack]

11. That would be like breaking the family code

you never dog your family to an outsider

[bunkerbuster1]

12. I mentioned it once in a Usenet group

And then some wag replied, and referred to DU as a "joke." But he didn't elaborate, and I didn't follow up.

Don't think I'll mention it again. Actually I don't think I'll post to Usenet again--it's all crossposting idiots and those who enjoy baiting crossposting idiots.

[Forkboy]

13. Yep

[prolesunited]

14. You didn't say anything bad about me, did you.

:-)

[ProfessorGAC]

15. How?!?!?

Who could say a bad word about you, Sharon??? Tell me! Who? That's Unpossible!

;)

[Wat_Tyler]

18. Yeah.

Nothing undeserved.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. what did you say about me?

[Wat_Tyler]

23. My lawyer advises me not to answer that.

Nah. I can categorically say that I've never disparaged you on another board.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. yay!

[jonnyblitz]

21. no but I have read what other DUers have said on other boards

(I should correct that and use the singular "board")about other DUers. I often agreed in my head but never did anything but read and lurk.

[qnr]

27. Nah, but I bring things up on my distro's politics channel on IRC n/t

Edit: Nothing about DUers, just links to articles and whatnot.

[Bucknut213]

38. Only mentioned to friends...

and my girlfriend when she asks what I'm doing on the computer. I've been hiding out here for a while. Just got around to registering.

[greatauntoftriplets]

39. Welcome to DU Bucknut213.

:beer:

[RandomKoolzip]

41. Welcome to DU!

[bigwillq]

43. Hi Bucknut213

Welcome to DU!

You should start posting more often!:hi:

42. No because I don't visit any other message boards

Well, sometimes I go on SoapCentral.com and chat about my fave show "The Young and the Restless" but DU never comes up.

[Maddy McCall]

44. No, but I have seen what others have written.

I didn't even know about the other board until today, and then I was amazed at what I read about DUers, posted by DUers or former Duers. Disgusting.

[AZCat]

45. It's like any other relationship, I guess

After it's over, both sides magnify the transgressions of the other and spend a "mourning period" carping about the breakup. For some people it is a pretty short period. Others, it seems, take a while longer (3+ years by the looks of things).

[prolesunited]

46. What's amazing is that it's all lies

I wonder if you can contact an attorney about that? Would that be considered slander? I bet you could sue for damages to your reputation. What do you think?

[Bat Boy]

47. Lies? Of course not...

The Chicago DU mafia is out to getcha.

Booga booga!

[prolesunited]

48. I've heard about them

They are just sooooo mean. :-(

[Beware the Beast Man]

49. You don't post often,

but when you do, it's friggin' gold! :hi:

[Bat Boy]

50. Thank you...

Thank you very much

[AZCat]

51. Ohmygod

That's an amazing case of cameltoe.

:wow:

Simply amazing.

[yardwork]

54. Why is he holding a cheese knife?

And where did his.....

oh never mind.

[Bat Boy]

64. I see you've answered your own question.

Bravo. Well done.

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. If it's the written word ( the internet qualifies) it is libel vs. slander

According to my journalism law courses, the burden of proof is then on the person being sued to prove they did not libel the plaintiff.

[Maddy McCall]

63. I was pretty sure that it was all lies.

Nasty stuff. Really nasty.

[seaglass]

53. No, never would and don't respect those who do and still

post here (unless they are positive posts).

[pmbryant]

55. No

But I do wonder why there are so many "deleted posts" in this mild-mannered thread?

:shrug:

Peter

[prolesunited]

56. There may be more to it than you realize

:-)

[pmbryant]

62. Yes

Apparently so. :crazy:

Any hints? :-)

58. What happens at DU, stays at DU

;-)

[DemGa]

59. Nope, never and won't n/t

[redqueen]

60. Yep

But just generic stuff, like "I ran into someone that likes GENERICBANDNAME - I didn't know they had fans!"

[48pan]

65. That would be very rude. NT

[NightTrain]

66. No. It has never even occurred to me to do that.

I understand there are DUers who post mean-spirited, disparaging remarks about other DUers at other message boards, but I consider those people cowards.

If I'm gonna badmouth a DUer, I'll do it right here, where the person in question can defend himself if he so chooses!

[Wat_Tyler]

68. You're a foppish scondrel, Night Train!

}(

[NightTrain]

69. And you, dear boy, are philistine flotsam!

:P

[HEyHEY]

70. I call DU a "Stenchpit of Communism" once on Free Republic

But I was being outed and trying to save my bacon
