"timeforpeace" (yeah, like they meant that) is no more. Thank you mods!

[Electric Monk]

They were the absolute #1 on my "full of shit" list, and DU will be a better place without them :)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=241616

John Lennon thanks you too for finally ending the abuse of his image as that trolls avatar :)

[lamp_shade]

1. Good.... but what do you mean "they"? Was there another one?

[Bicoastal]

3. Gender neutral?

[blue neen]

2. One down.

Many more to go, I hope.

[stevenleser]

4. Pizza: It's what's for Dinner!

Beware trolls!
:-)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. I wondered what his name was during the primaries.

[Caliman73]

6. What happened?

I had seen some of the posts from that former member which I disagreed with, but what drove the tombstone?

[quinnox]

8. probably death by a thousand cuts

He was consistent in his hostile one liners, and eventually his act just got old. I don't think I ever saw him post one nice or pleasant thing that I can recall.

[DFab420]

11. Best one..

My favorite is when he suggested Obama was anti-Semtic...

:rofl: :nuke:

[fishwax]

54. I never saw him post anything positive either

[Mimosa]

79. I remember him

I started avoiding reading posts by anybody with John Lennon as an avatar.

There's only so much rudeness and BS anybody can be expected to take . Good call mods!

[laughingliberal]

94. I can't even remember a single thing he posted. Just that it was always obnoxious. nt

[tekisui]

9. If I had to bet, he was a sock puppet or zombie of

an already dead DUer.

[Spazito]

7. Whoo Hoo!

I rarely do the 'happy dance' but, in this case...

:party: :party: :party:

He was one of the lamest trolls, posting pathetic one-liners which were beyond obvious, imo.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. He and vadawg on the same day! Two ippons for one!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7957621

[quinnox]

12. lol so vadawg went too?!

Yea, in that one thread he was pretty disgusting about the protest of the gay soldier.

[canetoad]

15. Linky?

Sad, but I need to see for myself.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. Here:

42. Now we all will miss the expert opinion.

And the verbal billy bat.

:thumbsup: Good riddance!

[quinnox]

27. actually there is another one, I didn't see that other thread

Guess vadawg has been a busy boy with his crap.

Here is the one I was talking about - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=7951017

He starts making a whole lot of speculations that are really offensive about the gay soldier and got called on it.

[TexasObserver]

62. If he ever posted anything remotely "progressive," I never saw it.

Torture, police excess, death penalty, gay rights - he was wrong on all them, all the time.

[laughingliberal]

90. That was what I saw

An authoritarian of the first order and a bigot to boot.

[Forkboy]

96. The question is, what takes others so long to see the obvious?

I'm not the brightest guy on this side of the Pike, but fuck, how obvious do some people need to be? The fact that the vadawg (and others even more obvious) got he far as he did says a lot about DU circa:2010.

And it ain't good.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

99. Agreed.

There are a at least 5 others that post prolifically that somehow stay under the radar. It is baffling.

[canetoad]

13. That has brought a smile to my face. nt

[flvegan]

14. vadawg is gone?

Oh happy day!

[TexasObserver]

65. Gone, but not forg ... who were we talking about?

[demmiblue]

22. :happydance:

I'm surprised he lasted this long!

[Spazito]

23. Lovely news!

He was a particularly noxious POS.

[Pithlet]

26. I figured that thread would be his undoing as soon as I saw him show up in it.

It was going to happen sooner or later. He was so obvious.

[Starry Messenger]

29. vadawg finally ate it??

That took forever!! Jesus, he was *applauding* the passage of Prop 8 here last year. What did it finally take? I just put him on ignore last week because his bullshit was giving me migraines.

[fascisthunter]

37. Wow!!!!!...

this is a great day.

[laughingliberal]

91. Yep! nt

[Bluebear]

40. Gambatte! EXCELLENT news!

[chollybocker]

44. Two turds with one stone!

Glad to hear this. :)

53. Fantastic!

That was a long long long way coming.

[a la izquierda]

56. Oh happy day

I couldn't stand his posts on Latin America. Ignorant fuckwad!
You've made my day moderately better (my husband lost his job today).

[mix]

95. That's how I first noticed him,

he was an apologist for the coup in Honduras.

And poor John Lennon's face.

[tekisui]

66. WooHoo! Clean house!

I am happy to see vadawg go. His autocratic ass slipped by too long.

[Zomby Woof]

71. FINALLY!!!

I am sure the mods will be glad they will never have to read my colorful alerts on that freeptroll bastard ever again, LOL.

He was a soft-core OMC, but still very much like him - never, ever posted one fucking thing other than RW "contrarian" bullshit.

[SidDithers]

73. Softcore OMC...

well said :hi:

Sid

[tango-tee]

102. What, vadawg too? He really started working my nerves

in the charter school / public school debate. Let alone his ramblings yesterday about Lt. Choi.

I never had the impression that he was a liberal in even the faintest sense of the word.

[Jamastiene]

117. I guess vadawg's crystal ball wasn't very accurate after all...

as I suspected. :rofl:

[tabasco]

17. The astroturfer accomplished its misson.

I hope the mods don't let these guys hang around so long next time.

[Sebastian Doyle]

18. And another well deserved pizza here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=250652

That one was a piece of shit Democrat basher from day one.

[demmiblue]

43. seeinfweggos was so obvious!

[Individualist]

57. +1

[laughingliberal]

92. OMG! Just seeing that name gave me a bout of nausea. nt

[azmouse]

20. My ignore list got shorter today.

:)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

21. HOLY FUCKING SHIT! WRITEDOWN TOO!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=223135

The mods are on a ROLL! What did THIS one in???

[tabasco]

25. Outstanding.

If this keeps up I'll have to get a new star.

[Caretha]

70. I'm thinking the same thing

but man there are several more that are so obvious

[kestrel91316]

30. Whoopeeeeeeee!!!!!! Him AND vadawg!!!!! There IS a God.

[redqueen]

76. My sentiments exactly. (nt)

[Kingofalldems]

33. Oh no! He wasn't a freeper. He was for single payer!

Did anyone believe that?

[kestrel91316]

64. Not I, said the Little Red Hen.

[laughingliberal]

93. Lemme think.... No. nt

[fascisthunter]

39. excellent (nt)

[strategery blunder]

45. OMG!

I put him on ignore just yesterday because of his obnoxious shit!

Yeah, there's asking for sourcing and backup for claims...and then there's demanding that you go through hundreds of pages of some named document that might not even have anything to do with the claim, to "prove" it...the difference was completely lost on the little anti-HC troll... :eyes:

ETA: He had been literally the only person that I willfully added to my ignore list in the entire six years I've been here (have clicked ignore accidentally a couple times and immediately undid it), so yeah he had to have been really bad LOL... :hi:

[blm]

46. I am hoping they noticed WHO was unreccing any thread with positive Dem news.

To me, that would be the best use of the unrec feature. Heh...not to mention...the cleverest.

[Zomby Woof]

74. But...

This place is split 50/50 on what constitutes "positive Dem news", so that kills your theory.

[blm]

75. not every issue....there are plenty that unite

.

[Zomby Woof]

105. These days?

I could post that the sky is blue, and someone would call me a paid operative of The Weather Channel.

[blm]

109. heheh....

.

[wuushew]

47. Awesome

this makes me smile

[Scurrilous]

58. LOL

He used to tag-team with another (now TSed) jerk named 'imdjh.'

Glad to see him gone.

[Kingofalldems]

67. And JonQ

Especially on Global Warming threads.

[Sebastian Doyle]

81. I think that one is still around

...he just changed the last three letters in his name.

[Ignis]

78. No shit?

This calls for a drink or twelve. :toast:

[Turborama]

88. Did anyone witness how they went down?

I'm curious about what led to their downfall...

[Political Heretic]

24. That guy was jerk-tastic

[mdmc]

28. I fear the tombstone myself

I hold my breath everytime I log in and hope I can log in. I love this place and fear the tombstone..

[tabasco]

31. Maybe you should find something better to do.

[Political Heretic]

32. You and me both.

[ShortnFiery]

35. Yes, I think that I should wait until the dust settles next week before I get Fiery again.

:blush:

[Political Heretic]

38. Well I desire to follow the rules, though emotion makes me imperfect. But see my sig.

[Marr]

98. I hear ya. n/t

[Forkboy]

51. Well, if that's the case go down standing.

Better to regret something you did do than something you didn't. :)

[lumberjack_jeff]

55. Baby, don't fear the reaper.

It comes for each of us at our appointed hour.

Frankly, aside from the fact that I know I'm a democrat, I find little in common here these days.

[fascisthunter]

36. I put that sucka on ignore a long time now. About time...

[Bonobo]

41. I have been waiting for a long time for that! nt

[spanone]

48. always smelled like pizza to moi

[SemiCharmedQuark]

49. FINALLY!

:Mexican hat dance:

52. When did winyanstaz get it? Anybody know?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=197426

[Quantess]

82. And dysfunctional press.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=183295

I don't know why, either.

[Emit]

106. He hijacked this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7860803&mesg_id=7860803

He kepted repeating that the poster's wife was not a true 'professional journalist' because she used the term 'anti-abortion' instead of 'prolife.' He went down shortly after he claimed in the same thread that he had been censored.

[Ikonoklast]

115. He was a total ass.

Took a contrary postition on every thread.

Timeforpeace was a turd that wouldn't flush for a long time, I guess the Lennon avatar and calling intself a female was supposed to fool people.

Vadawg...like other authoritarians here, was just a total tool bag.

[Forkboy]

59. Like OMC, the most obvious is under their noses, but they miss it.

Even though they deal with the person almost daily. Meh. TFP was small time. A two-bit Columbo should have guessed that one.

"Just one more thing, ma'am!"

[vogonity]

72. re: OMC

I visit here almost every day, but I never did see what happened with him. I have been reluctant to post a thread about another poster, but that seems to be the theme of this thread so I guess I will ask.

What happened with him? I was always a bit suspicious of him, but he seemed to me like someone who just liked to stir shit up. Was he revealed as a RW troll? And was the whole thing about his wife dying actually true?

Apologies if it is too off topic or inappropriate, but I have wondered for a while and never could figure out a good way to ask.

[Quantess]

89. I don't personally believe OMC was a RW'er. Just a really obnoxious a-hole.

That said, I never had a problem with him because he was consistently rude, and I figured he was DU's resident jerk. :)

It's hard for me to get offended by someone who is predictably and consistently rude.

[Hekate]

100. His was a particularly weird situation.I cut him a lot of slack because of his wife's untimely death

... That was a long-drawn-out episode, lots of drama and heartbreak, left with two little boys to raise alone. OMC really could be an obnoxious jerk, but after all that I tended to ignore his misbehavior and ask about the kids. As another poster said, I figured he was DU's resident jerk -- but he had touched my heart.

It was after he was tombstoned that some strange rumors arose: more than one DUer alleged that the entire wife-dying-untimely story was just that -- a story to con us with. And that he had boasted about the feat on another site.

Very, very creepy.

Hekate

[Ikonoklast]

116. He was a hero on another site that will remain unnamed.

He was easy to find on the web...


Just a stupid child begging for attention, and will do anything to get it.

[U4ikLefty]

107. Oh, how I miss the good ole days of poking fun at OMC.

Every time I see an SUV driving by a WalMart I think OMC

Every time I see the "every first letter caps" subject-line, or the obnoxious overuse of the :rofl: smiley I think of OMC.

Today's DU trolls are not near as entertaining as our once proud drama queen OMC!!!

I missed the final pizza delivery thead...does anyone have it?

[area51]

60. If only

the paid DLC/DNC goons would get tombstoned too. :shrug:

[Sebastian Doyle]

61. I have found that if you add one person to the ignore list, half the bullshit instantly disappears.

Of course DU rules won't allow me to name this person, but just look at GDP and I think you'll figure it out. :evilgrin:

[ScreamingMeemie]

68. I have found it's almost magical, the way people I add to my ignore

list end up tombstoned...

[kestrel91316]

83. Yep, lol. It's happened so often I've lost count.....

[Mimosa]

80. I'm afraid of adding too many to my IGNORE... n/t

[Moochy]

84. You can never be too rich

or have too many on ignore! :+

[Mimosa]

86. LOL. You're good. n/t

[tango-tee]

103. I've been tempted to hit the ignore button,

but there must be a masochistic streak in me. I have no one on ignore yet.

Although I'm a fairly new active DUer, I was a long-time lurker before that and there are names where I know that reading their posts will be worthwhile, and other names where the above mentioned masochistic streak kicks in.

[canetoad]

108. Name Removed?

[Political Heretic]

113. I found an appreciation thread for a specific person, and used it to fill an ignore list.

Since then, life is good.

I don't really like having an ingore list, and I didn't for a long time. But now I find that its just spam. Literally spam.

And all the SPAM just clutters things up, so I finally went ahead and pulled the trigger.

[girl gone mad]

85. The astroturfers just get so boring.

Put them in your ignore list, and DU will become much more like it used to be, I promise!

[Kalun D]

104. ^^^ ++++ 10

Amen brother

[Individualist]

111. ++

[Starry Messenger]

63. Another one. This one was low-hanging fruit but still

Yay! More spring cleaning.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=254730

[NYC_SKP]

69. Yay! Like someone has pulled a bloated tick from the small of my back.

[bullwinkle428]

77. DU Spring Cleaning...a.k.a. "Takin' the Trash Out"!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, mods!! :applause:

[Quantess]

87. Wow...finally! timeforpeace was an obvious RW troll.

I got tired of alerting mods on him after a while. Timeforpeace was the #1 most trollish of long-time DUers. None of the others were quite as bad or as long lasting as timeforpeace. OMC...I didn't mind him. But timeforpeace was the worst, IMHO.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

97. I tried many times over the last few months to sway the mods to this decision.

It has been a long time coming.

[Hekate]

101. Amazing info on this thread. Clearly I am going to have to houseclean my Iggy pile.

[myrna minx]

110. Wow - it looks like I missed some fireworks last night. n/t

[Garbo 2004]

112. Another one who appears to have been TS'd today:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=226229

[Political Heretic]

114. OH THANK GOD.

That guy was such a pompous obnoxious ass.

Though I wish I could have kicked his ass one more time about the "superiority" of theoretical economists and their infinite wisdom....

I had been sitting here just waiting to hand his ass to him another time. Too bad.
