I find it interesting how much the activity in GC&RKBA declined after someone posted these links

here on Saturday http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=158637

In fact, the gun crazy care about guns so much, the subject of firearms is the one and only reason some DU members registered and visit here in the first place. It's a poorly kept secret that this site is regularly visited by members of the big firearms sites like AR15.com and The Firing Line for trolling purposes

Link?

A more recent one, with some admissions that their trolls like to start infighting here:

1. LOL That could do it!

[BainsBane]

2. Do you know who the person is

who says he was a mole here for 7 years before being outed?

[Electric Monk]

4. I can think of two who were here over a decade. Dirty Sanchez, aka D_S, aka -..__...

Total asshole, never fooled anyone, except somehow avoided the ban stick until they completely went over the edge.

and slackmaster http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=124430
although slackmaster came across (to me) as actually quite reasonable, compared to some of them.

[BainsBane]

5. They wouldn't post "shock content" as a reason for banning a mole

Of those three, slackmaster seems most likely. I don't know if he went with DUers to Yankee games and lunches in Boston, as that person says he did.

Anyone who has tangled with some of those folks finds little surprising about the disclosures in the links above.

edit: Actually that linked thread is from 2011. The person was banned before I signed up, so it couldn't be slackmaster. Though several in that thread say they have a number of moles over here.

14. Well the "big DU" attorney that had lunch in NJ ...

with the guy can provide the identity.

6. Suspicions confirmed, as to both these individuals. Thanks. (nt)

[NutmegYankee]

15. This guy claims to have been banned in 2011.

That was back on DU 2 right?

[Fred Sanders]

3. Too many trolls under the radar, they are not all complete idiots and can infiltrate.

[billh58]

7. At the mere mention

of the word "gun" they crawl out of the woodwork and begin mewling about the Second Amendment and the importance of their "precious."

8. Sunlight is the best disinfectant

[Electric Monk]

9. One of our resident gunthusiasts is quite upset that I posted this thread. ROTFLMAO

[roguevalley]

10. I followed the threads you posted and may I say to the

abject morons and tiny penis gun aficionados of that site that they get a hearty F-U back. Thank you very much.

Thanks for this thread. How empty your life must be to go somewhere and troll. Tiny little whiners.

[JustAnotherGen]

11. There's an actual discussion group

Dedicated to one specific type of gun?

I don't post enough back here to get giphy with this but that's kind of - I dunno. . .

Eta - I'm sorry but . . .



I can't believe that even exists. That adds nothing to the world.

[Paladin]

12. Looking over the comments in those gun-specific sites will shake your faith in humanity.

Seriously.

[Amishman]

19. it exists, and is very large

Was curious about this and checked Alexa rankings. One of the two sites mentioned is a a good bit smaller than DU and the other is significantly larger. The Gungeon is a tiny tip of the iceberg.

DU is 3254 in the US and 12235 in the world
thefiringline.com is 6877 in the US and 32889 in the world
ar15.com is 1250 in the US and 5561 in the world

13. The gunners are really

in a tizzy over this OP aren't they? Could it be that it hits too close to home? I think their angst is hilarious...

[mwrguy]

16. LOL

[Electric Monk]

17. and now they have a thread going to show how they're more active and busy than this Group is

like it's a competition or something.

If they really want to impress me, they should start posting on subjects unrelated to guns. Oh, yeah, that has resulted in many an RKBA flavored pizza over the years.

18. Been LMAO for almost two days now. Good work exposing this crud.
