(95,247 posts)It signs in at Kos as 'Operation Mind Crime', which is a classic old lags will remember well, and yet the post is very reminiscent of some put up here recently, under yet another name....

49. Here's one of mine that got banned.
I put it up at 8 sites around the liberal blogosphere. It is controversial as hell and lasted 5 minutes at DU. It was banned yet everything in it is linked with video evidence and US government websites.
It's still up at Daily Kos and FireDogLake although Daily Kos shut down the comments after 24 hours. Personally I love shaking up conventional thought and I will still go right into the hornets nest of DU and keep hitting those close minds if it helps bring the truth to light and possibly saves lives. It's a sadistic humorous pleasure of mine to disturb them at this point.

Sorry for the getting the anti-Semites that were banned yesterday mixed up.

(101,316 posts)But that doesn't show up in fireflysky46's list of deleted posts - and they got 6 hides, 3 of which were posted on Wednesday.
Also, ffs46's English looks pretty obviously non-native - Ukrainian, I presume - while, give or take the spelling of 'sensorship', 'PrimeCustodian' looks fluent.

Fiendish Thingy
(15,611 posts)Among all the trolling, baiting and flame wars, I still think there's a chance that people with vastly differing beliefs and opinions might actually discuss things civilly, and maybe even communicate.
I'm glad Skinner created the site; it's an opportunity those like me to discuss issues from the far left without violating DU's TOS.

(25,171 posts)The community standards have dropped as more conservatives join up. It's anything goes over there.
Fiendish Thingy
(15,611 posts)Although many of the trolls and hit and run artists would like to think so.
There's certainly an alert war going on, with many meta threads bemoaning "you voted to hide Me but not THIS?"
I think this part of the necessary development of any Internet community; remember that DU didn't even have a jury system back in the day?

(37,748 posts)I had hopes for the place in the initial days, but it's become a bastion of low-hanging fruit and banned DUers. Still, that in and of itself may yet be a good reason to continue casual observances of the place.

(36,286 posts)that the general nastiness was clouding my entire day. I used to have to work with people like that; it's been 10 years and it still effects how I react to people and situations.(hence my pseudonym!)
There's enough evil in the world that I don't need to spend any time dealing with (if you'll excuse the expression) shit heads.
