I miss NJSecularist

[Renew Deal]

I miss how he supported all of the Democratic candidates. First he supported Obama until he lost by 9.4% in PA and then he supported Hillary. He's what keeps me coming to DU. :pals:

1. I miss bleachers7

:argh: my aim is terrible

[Renew Deal]

3. lol

:rofl:

He'll always be in my heart. And mind. And body.

[Adelante]

4. I was worried for a minute

:hi:

[Drunken Irishman]

2. He's still on some message board convincing himself Pres. Obama can't win.

It just won't happen.

[Occam Bandage]

10. White working-class voters won't support him. And then there's that pastor, and that whitey tape.

No way he'll win FL, MI, OH, or PA. And Obamabot dreams of winning VA, NC, and IN are just laughable.

[murielm99]

5. What happened to them?

Were they tombstoned or did they just leave?

[Adelante]

6. TSed a good while ago nt

[Occam Bandage]

9. TSed after the primaries.

He was a vitriolic anti-Clinton poster, up until it became clear that Obama was going to win, at which point he became a vitriolic anti-Obama poster.

7. I miss LoZoccolo.

:cry: :cry:

15. Did he get kicked?

I had him on ignore for a long time, so I would have missed it if he had finally gotten the boot.

[AlCzervik]

16. No.

[Occam Bandage]

8. Probably the most brazen yet dedicated troll in recent history. nt

[jefferson_dem]

11. jackson_dem (my evil twin)...

Where are you? I hope you are well...

[murielm99]

12. I guess I better check to see if I still have any of these people

on ignore.

[murielm99]

13. I just checked my ignore list.

I haven't looked at it since the primaries.

Funny thing - most of the people on it came here in late 2007 or early 2008, just in time to shout and scream for the primaries. I wonder how many of them are still regular readers or posters?

[QC]

17. Yeah, a really nasty bunch poured into this place during that time,

and they were allowed to run roughshod over everyone and drive out many good, loyal DUers who had supported this place for years.

[murielm99]

21. I felt targeted.

I know some of them were targeting Clinton supporters.

The 2004 primary season was not nearly as poisonous.

I learn a great deal here and like many of the people. But DU is only an Internet site. It should not be taken too seriously.

I work hard for the Democratic Party in my real life. I remember going to a few fundraisers and events in northern and central Illinois during primary season. People wearing Hillary and Obama gear sat next to each other, ate dinner, drank beer and interacted amicably. I remember only one event where I heard serious trashing of candidates other than Obama. I expected more of that in Illinois, where Obama was the favorite son. On the whole, it did not happen. Real activists know they have to put their heads down, put one foot in front of the other, and WORK.

I think it is the anonymity of the Internet. And some of those people were not really Clinton OR Obama supporters. They were here only to cause trouble.

[QC]

25. You probably were. Sometimes it seemed like 90% of DU was targeted. n/t

[joshcryer]

23. I'd dispute that, most of them were tombstoned.

Even some I didn't think were as bad as the "immune" 20k+ posters.

[QC]

24. They certainly managed to set a very ugly tone in their time here.

This place still hasn't recovered from the last primary and probably will not.

[joshcryer]

22. I am more active during the election season, and I was on the "wrong" side of "that" debate.

Got a lot of PMs from PUMAs saying I was cool and shit but I was trying to be as neutral as possible, there was a lot of bogus claims from both sides during that time.

[kentuck]

14. I wish there was a list of all the tombstones...

so we could go back and reminisce about all the great discussions we had before they were executed and buried. :-)

[Still Sensible]

19. Now there's an idea! Let's have a graveyard

where we see all the tombstones... we couldpay our respects as it were.

[JI7]

18. these people can try to get back on and admit they were wrong

[TahitiNut]

20. Please ...
