Calling a DU Moderator - please read my message

[FrenchieCat]

I object to the thread that was started titled "Do we need a Dictator, even if he is a Democrat?"

these PR propagandists are everywhere to "guide our thinking". I expect a few are members of DU and are promoting General Clark for President.

Based on the above sentence(and the obvious flamebait contents of the entire statement, I object to the thread that was started. I believe that it is insulting to DU members that support the candidacy of Wesley Clark.

1. Have you alerted on the thread in question?

That is the appropriate venue.

[democratreformed]

2. I believe the correct term was "Emperor"

and I object to it as well.

3. seemed so obvious

I never looked at it.

Rock on, Frenchie.

9. Same deal with the Dean 'scandel' thread

Irritating.

[LandOLincoln]

4. I Agree...

and like to think DK would be appalled to see this kind of
crap posted in his name.

5. Perhaps you should post it in the

room for administrators.

6. I took a look at it and decided..

Most DUers would not think very much of the content and quickly abandon that thread. This type of thread is actually good for our side. Look at many converts we've already gained from these lame and "out there" attacks. Bring 'em on.

8. Yes,

But I don't like being called names by someone who is not better than me in anyway. As an Ex-green, I refuse to be labeled as a propagandist. I am tired of the anarchist that dwell here and act as though they are Democrats.

12. anarchists? anarchists!

Damned washrooms - gone from commies to anarchists...

Who, pray tell, do you mean?

[wryter2000]

7. That's why

That's why I didn't open the thread. I expected something like that. Didn't know which candidate it would be picking on, though.

[FrenchieCat]

10. Anarchists....

are just as dangerous as the extreme right wing.

[FrenchieCat]

11. I have alerted the moderators

via several different manners....as of 2:33 PT, I have not received a response. I am pissed because I don't need to defend myself personally because of who I support.

[goobergunch]

14. The moderators are not everpresent

Personally, I find the most effective way of dealing with something I don't like but can't really help is ignoring it. I'd have just alerted and moved on, hoping that the thread would die on its own.

[Forkboy]

13. It's a valid thread

quit trying to silence people because you're personally offended.Hell being called a "propagandist" is a step up from some of the things I've been called.

15. Locking

Questions for Admin or moderators belong either in alerts or in the 'Ask the Administrators' forum.

Thank you,
