Maybe I can make a deal, to trim down the number of posts about Nader that I post.

[LoZoccolo]

How does this sound:

Suppose I made a deal that if there are no negative posts about Obama for an entire day, that I will not post any negative posts about Nader for a day. And this could go on so that each day without a negative post about Obama could be another day without a negative post about Nader.

Does that sound like a good deal?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Heh! Good luck with that!

:popcorn:

[MadHound]

2. Why should anybody make that deal with you,

After all there is are the hide thread and ignore options, which I'm betting a lot of people are using in conjunction with your threads.

[LoZoccolo]

3. Because a good percentage of replies to my Nader threads tell me to stop. n/t

[jtrockville]

6. Why not just put those people on ignore? Then they can't reply to you.

[LoZoccolo]

Really? They brought that back?

There used to be a feature where you could keep people from responding to your threads, but it was retracted.

The real answer is that if I put them on ignore, I cannot alert on them. Much of the time, the people who I would want to ignore break the rules.

[jtrockville]

24. If you ignore them, you won't see their replies, so yes you can't alert on them.

Tough choice I guess, but I'd go with ignore.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. And some are entertained by your impersonation of big brother/Goldstein

The daily five minutes of hate are just hilarious at this point. They should stop...but hey, whatever...some piggies are indeed more equal than others...so brother keep leading those five minutes. They were more successful for the party, may you never be that successful, comrade.

[LoZoccolo]

14. Are negative Obama threads also "hates"? n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. You need to read TR on disagreement with

Political leaders.

[LoZoccolo]

31. Does "TR" stand for "the rules"? n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

44. Teddy Roosevelt, are you that ignorant of HISTORY?

[LoZoccolo]

46. I guess so, but I take it that you know right away what DS said about democracy, right? n/t

[MadHound]

11. No, a good percentage of replies in your Nader threads

Poke fun at you, laugh at your obsession, and wonder about your mental health. Those aren't complaints, more like pointing and laughing at the babbling idiot in the town square. Entertainment value, nothing more.

[pinboy3niner]

32. There's a smilie for that...

[RevStPatrick]

19. So why don't you just stop?

You are allowed to just stop, you know!

[City Lights]

4. Just seek help for your obsessions. eom

[LoZoccolo]

5. If people won't agree to keep their end of this deal regarding Obama threads

would that mean that they are similarly obsessed?

[City Lights]

8. Who agreed to your deal?

I don't post negative Obama threads...take your complaint to the next window ------->

[LoZoccolo]

12. No one has, so far.

Is it because of the obsession?

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Tell me comrade what office

Does citizen Goldstein currently hold?

Sincerely INGSOC Central Committee.

[City Lights]

9. Almost forgot...

...unrec. :-)

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Thanks, let me join you

[HappyMe]

13. Bash Nader all you want.

Hide thread and ignore work good for anything else.

[paulk]

17. maybe you should just stop posting completely

I mean - this is a discussion board. I've seen very little from you these last couple of years that is any kind of honest attempt at discussing anything. It's mostly just flamebait that attempts to belittle or ridicule someone or something.

Seriously.

[madrchsod]

20. you wrote 5 sentences!

[TheKentuckian]

21. You should consult a health care professional or at least someone who gives a fuck

[blindpig]

22. Naw, keep up the good work.

Every time you post a new record in inane is achieved.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. Unlike Obama, you're willing to make deals with the left rather than the right.

And, unlike Obama, you're deal is getting a no-sale.

[WinkyDink]

28. A "deal" to abridge speech? Yeah. NO.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

30. Should I have added the sarcasm thingy?

29. I won't offer you a deal, then.

[WinkyDink]

27. I don't need no stinkin' deals to post on DU.

[Lucian]

33. I had to screen capture this OP by you.

It was longer than a subject line. :wow:

[Bonobo]

34. I think you are just an attention hog, so it is unlikely you will stop being one. nt

[LooseWilly]

35. Obama is an ineffective leader of the Democratic party... post another anti-Nader OP...

Obama sold out the public option that he campaigned on before it ever had a chance... post another anti-Nader OP.

Obama has pledged to cut medicare spending, and probably benefits, in order to appease Republican-leaning voters that hate him anyway... a completely Neville Chamberlain-esque tactic— post another anti-Nader OP.

Obama has supporters such as yourself— post another anti-Nader OP.

Obama lied about his determination/ is too cowardly to fight ... to close Guantanamo prison sites— post another anti-Nader OP.

You know what... I've wasted enough time with you... post as many anti-Nader OPs as you want... it won't help your man Obama in the least with any of us who voted for Nader in '00. ;)

[Luminous Animal]

36. So you want DUers to give up topics of substance in exchange for your fluff. No thanks.

[LoZoccolo]

37. I rarely, if ever, see people criticize my Nader threads from that angle.

Mostly, it is about having an "obsession". Well I say: if it is obsession, let us get over it together, Nader obsessors and Obama obsessors!

[Luminous Animal]

38. You can have an obsession with fluff. And regularly, you prove that you do.

[LoZoccolo]

39. Except for that they don't put it that way either.

It's always about Nader. Well let's see them give up Obama!

[Luminous Animal]

42. I am a member of "they". Thus, at least one of "they" says it is fluff.

41. Let me get this straight: You want to make this deal on DU? The land of the ODSer?

Yeah, good luck with that!!

[Rex]

43. Since I don't really give a shit about Nader one way or the other

I would miss laughing at you over your crude pokes at Nader. I have doubt you care about Obama as much as you let on, and seem to be a common hater and love to post as such. Big deal, as ordinary as they come on DU. It is only when you post something in the content that it becomes a true joy to watch you post!

Keep it up! :thumbsup:

[trumad]

45. Better deal...

How about you not post for a week?

[LoZoccolo]

47. In exchange for...? n/t

[PurityOfEssence]

48. I still suggest that if you bite a postman on the leg, you'll feel much better.

You're also proposing something impossible: nobody controls the rest of the community and could reach consensus on such a silly thing, and the mods can't since it would violate board rules.

Thanks for offering something that cannot be delivered though...

Mmmmm...ankle...

[LoZoccolo]

49. Maybe we as a group should get over this Obama obsession. n/t

[readmoreoften]

50. Agreed. I think he's just a media diversion anyway. The real problem is systemic.

See! We can agree, LoZoc!

[PurityOfEssence]

51. ????????

Perhaps I've never met someone with whom I'm as skew, but what the phloog do you mean by that?

[LoZoccolo]

54. You see posts about Obama almost every day on this message board!

It's like a problem, an obsession.
