What was the worst thread ever on DU?

[Democracy White]

[DS1]

1. Movie Thread!

Dumbest threads ever!

[Shell Beau]

3. The movie chain?

I agree, although I participated in it in the beginning, it needed to go away long before it hit however many posts it got to.

[Catchawave]

80. There is a "hide thread* option :)

I use it all the time in the Lounge, otherwise, I don't think there's such a thing as "worse threads", we all have different interests and what constitutes "fun" :hi:

[Blue Belle]

82. It's still going.

;-)

[Catchawave]

85. Yep.....and that's a good thing...over 1700 posts?

Certainly a DU record for an intelligent thread <snort>.

I often wonder what happened to DUer kmla...lol....s/he's the one that's going to be "tar'd 'n' feth'erd' by the Lounge Gang :)

:grouphug:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

2. Any thread started by DS1

woops, did I type that? :evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

4. Seconded.

:hi:

:P

[DS1]

16. I fart in your general direction

[no name no slogan]

5. The 2nd and 3rd threads about the horsefscker

One was more than enough :puke:

[NMMNG]

101. Wha?

I should think one was way too many . I'm glad those were either before my time or I somehow managed to not see them.

[Kerrytravelers]

6. This is a great way to stir up some flame wars.

Many of us have said things that were taken wrong or we had our heads in a totally different place and offended someone who read our post in a different way. It's happen to me and I certainly don't want to rehash it here. It was months ago, but it wasn't my most shining moment.

[hippiechick]

7. 'post a picture of yourself'

... considering that most of us are in the Gallery already, and its the same people over and over again who continue to post pics of themselves apparently in need of some sort of reinforcement ...

[matcom]

9. YES!!

those need to be outlawed

[DS1]

10. I think we should all agree that everyone who posts on DU

is stunningly attractive in their own unique way and be done with it.

:eyes:

[Shell Beau]

11. I am not in the gallery and I post my pic when a thread comes up.

It is hard to remember what everyone looks like. I like to put a face with a name.

[LynneSin]

13. I have to agree - if you want to share your picture

have it posted in the DU gallery

THank you!

[Shell Beau]

15. Well I want to show my face when I want to.

Not necessarily when someone else wants to see it.

[gmoney]

18. The DU Gallery is old old old

Hasn't been updated since December... I look through there and about half the people are no longer actively posting, while many of the people whose posts I see regularly are NOT there.

I also don't think the Gallery listings reflect those who changed their names during the amnesty, so folks are listed under their old name (i.e. Bertha Venation).

I for one enjoy the picture threads a great deal. But then you already knew that.

[Lavender Brown]

68. Skinner doesn't update it anymore

You have to do it yourself. People just forget that the Gallery's there, or don't know how.

[bicentennial_baby]

96. Oh waaaaaah...

Hide thread is there for a reason, ya misers...

[XemaSab]

60. I'm not in the gallery

and I can't figure out how to get a pic in the gallery.

Any suggestions?

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. The infamous Starpass thread....It was a devious and disgusting

plot to show DU to be something that it is not. :hi:

[Democracy White]

12. What was the Starpass thread?

And where is the Gallery? I don't think that I have seen it.

Dee

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Check your PM...andthe gallery is found by clicking the Demopedia

link at the top of the page. :hi:

[Tweed]

100. Starpass thread?

Do you have it bookmarked for PM sending?

[Zomby Woof]

63. I was vindicated, as usual

I never liked Starpass or trusted her. She once posted that ALL of the troops hated Bush and so forth... while I wish that were so, I asked for PROOF. Another DUer said I should see the thread where she posted letters from soldiers who hated Bush.

I do not consider a small handful of letters as proof that ALL soldiers hate Bush.

Turns out Starpass hated all soldiers. Vile.

[RandomKoolzip]

23. Was that the "I wish more troops would die" thread?

I had forgotten about that turd of a thread for a long time.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. That's the one...Rush loved it, the crazy Right loved it...and it was

formulated with the evil intent of making us look bad. It worked.

[Zuni]

54. I even remember that

wasn't some pyscho lady like "the more that die, the freer we will be?" :shrug:

I didn't have a chance to tell her off before that thread got nuked

[StopTheMorans]

14. the ones where i ask for, yet never receive, a cup of coffee

[Democracy White]

17. Oh well here's your cup of coffee

and a donut :donut:

Enjoy!!

[StopTheMorans]

20. damn it, it happened again

this is the worst thread ever :cry:

[terrya]

19. Ummmm....no.

Can't go there. :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Oh come on...it'll be fun!!!!

;) :hi: Hi Terry! How are you? Let's hijack...tell me something about yourself.

[terrya]

24. I can't, MrsG...it was by a banned DU'er.

They were basically pictures....they royally disgusted me.

Well, said too much there. :-)

Something about myself...I'm at work now...in the lovely air conditioning. But I'm leaving in a bit...out of the air conditioning. Ugh.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. It is damnably hot here in the Midwest. We've got a heat index warning

James went out for I swear only 5 minutes and came in soaked. Stay cool ,okay?

:hi:

[terrya]

32. I'll try...I saw the long range forecast here for Saturday...100F

Yippee.

STILL better than 5F with a -20 wind chill, though.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. That's true...But I'll think about that to keep cool!

:D

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. Agreed about the heat.

At least we have wind today....and low 80s predicted for Chicago tomorrow.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. We've got another 90's prediction. Even that wicked thunderstorm Sat.

didn't cool things off. Our porch was hit by lightening. It was the weirdest thing. :hi:

[greatauntoftriplets]

43. Thunderstorm???

What's a thunderstorm? I have heard of them but not experienced one in ages.

For that matter, what's rain?

:shrug:

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. No rain...just lightening and thunder...it was the weirdest thing...

Our grass is Browner than brown. :hi:

[RandomKoolzip]

21. This one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2297851


It got me banned.

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. Poor, poor GS...it took way to long to ban that poster.

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

38. Oooooo....don't even get me started on her.

Don't even get me started. What a coniving, sneaky b-word she was. And she claims to still have active accounts here.

:grr:

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. They love to claim that, and I am of the "who cares" contingent.

I mean, what's the point? If you come out and say what you really want to, you're gone...having a stealth account is just goofy. :hi:

[RandomKoolzip]

44. Don't expect the insane to behave in a sane manner.

[Maddy McCall]

47. .....

Any time now that someone posts a huge crisis, I'm always afraid to respond, because I'm always suspicious that it's her again. :scared:

[Maddy McCall]

45. Do you remember when she ....

posted that thread claiming that she found her boyfriend wearing women's clothes. Because my brother is gender dysphoric, I PM'd her and offered her help. She made up a whole story around her original lie, and PM'd me back. So I told her about my family's experience, and I even gave the bitch my email address and told her to email me anytime she needed to talk.

And when I found out that it was that crazy-ass CoraRose, I could have bit a 2x4 in half. That fucking bitch had a LOT of nerve. It's a good thing I didn't see her face-to-face, because I would have knocked out her remaining teeth.

Playing on someone's vulnerabilities like that. She's sick.

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. She needs psychological help...When I found myself to be a "person of

interest" on her silly blog it was amusing. Her M.O. has always been to exploit. I'm so sorry that happened to you Maddy. :hug:

[Maddy McCall]

50. She claims to be some kind of old rock band groupie.

Yeah, I looked at her crazy blog. Crazy isn't even the word for it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. I have seen her face to face....

But I figured the bar would call the cops on me if I did knock out her remaining teeth. Of course, that occurred before all the lies she told about me on the idiot blog and elsewhere.

:evilfrown:

[Maddy McCall]

53. You should have offered to give her a ride home.

:evilgrin:

[greatauntoftriplets]

56. Get into the car with her????

:scared:

I might have been the one who never made it home....

It was a couple of weeks after the corarose incarnation got tombstoned.

[Maddy McCall]

70. No, just to get her outside the bar, away from witnesses.

Then you could have knocked her remaining tooth out without there being witnesses.:D

[Zuni]

65. do you remember when she told people

that a bunch of skinheads killed a gay man in her apartment building and then it turned out to be a load of BS?

[Maddy McCall]

71. Yes, I remember that.

Crisis after crisis. She just liked the attention.

[Bunny]

83. Do you remember her other incarnations? Lady Dem, corarose,

Lost Message, Ginger Snaps, etc.? I think I know who her current incarnation is (well, one of them anyway), and I watch that poster for amusement purposes!

[Maddy McCall]

86. I think I know who she is now....

a rather racist user name, if you think about it. Invert the words and see what you have. See what I mean?

[Zuni]

64. you can still see her on another liberal board

her and Nighttrain have a little flirty thing going....she is still as crazy as a loon

[Zomby Woof]

91. I COMPLETELY missed that!

I read the thread... I must have had her on ignore at the time. I instantly put self-pitying drama people on ignore. She reeked of it, and now I know why. :scared:

[Maddy McCall]

99. I bet I know two people on your ignore list right now.

I've been tempted a couple of times...

:hi:

[indigo32]

77. OMG

She never gives up does she. Wonder how long.....
:hide:

[Texasgal]

25. Anything with a

KITTY in it!

HA!!! Just kidding!!! :)

[Maddy McCall]

28. The foot thread.

A now-banned DUer posted a photo of gnarly feet that she said belonged to her husband. It was truly disgusting. And she did it as a "fetish" thread.

:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2401161

[terrya]

36. That's the one I was alluding to.

Disgusting.

[Maddy McCall]

41. I shuddered when I saw it.

:hi: Terry!

[Maddy McCall]

49. I added a link above.

Go check it out. :evilgrin:

[pdx_prog]

51. She was a real piece of work.....

I remember the BBW thread her husband or boyfriend (or maybe herself) wrote..

what a maroon....

[DS1]

55. Oh god! I'm STILL trying to forget those nasty disgusting THINGS!

:puke:

[Zuni]

66. oh, she was nauseating

:puke:

:hi: Maddy!

[Maddy McCall]

87. Hi, Zu!

How's it hangin'?

:evilgrin:

[Zuni]

90. low and to the left

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[asthmaticeog]

73. Ooooh, yeah - I'm not even gonna click on that.

I remember it all too well. I seriously still can't eat Fritos anymore. :scared:

[Beware the Beast Man]

74. I have no problem with foot fetishism,

I'd be a hypocrite if I did, but not when the feet in question are gnarly and are repoted to smell like a particular brand of corn chips. :puke:

[MissMillie]

29. This one

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3671068

[progmom]

59. oh - that is........wow.

[Lorien]

75. Gotta agree with you there.

:grr:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

92. Me too

see my response.

[AngryAmish]

30. The fried chicken wars?

I'll never get that one.

[Shell Beau]

40. Those were funny!

B/c how ridiculous is it to fight over fried chicken?

[AngryAmish]

58. Are you bad-mouthing fried chicken?!?

I'll get you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shell Beau]

62. Only if it is fried using Cornflakes!

[Beware the Beast Man]

35. Any thread claiming the Asian tsunami was man-made.

[sundog]

57. ha!

:rofl:

[Zuni]

67. good call

those were the stupidest things I have ever read

[GalleryGod]

61. Dean - Kerry Wars.

Just can't wait for '08:sarcasm: :rant: :sarcasm:

[NoPasaran]

69. The Bev Wars

[rucky]

72. Joementum! n/t

[ghostsofgiants]

76. Well judging by the speed at which they tend to sink...

Just about any thread started by me.

[DerekG]

78. Probably the glut of "Do you want to see my (adjective) pussy?" threads

Adolescent humor mixed with pictures of unremarkable cats...not my cup of tea.

[TrogL]

81. There's no such thing as an unremarkable cat

[Lorien]

88. Nice.

if my cat thread was "the worst" DU has to offer, then the world must be in spectacular shape!

[deadparrot]

79. Anything about Schiavo.

:scared:

[JimmyJazz]

84. Two words: Woody Allen

:crazy:

[Lorien]

89. Flamebait threads

started by Freeper trolls in GD. As for the lounge; gender bashing and "self pity" threads.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

93. gender bashing is somehow considered humor

:eyes:

I don't find male-bashing funny either.

[Lorien]

94. I agree

there's no humor in the sterotyping of either gender.

[Democracy White]

95. Guess everyone has an opinion huh?

[bicentennial_baby]

97. My, what a pissy thread

:eyes:

[Maddy McCall]

98. kick

[ronzo]

102. "Does this look infected to you?"

props to dave.
