where you've been, and check out GD occasionally! :)

24. It was pretty fast...
Edited on Sat Feb-26-05 01:14 PM by AZCat
The last hour or so is when all the action happened.

If you scroll down, you'll see a "I'm leaving DU" thread (started by the ex-member in question) and then a locked thread over a certain "opposition forum".

PM if you have more questions.

Thread links:
I am leaving DU.......Goodby to my friends and vets !

Check who the Moderator is of...

Edited to add links to threads.

35. I stand corrected
The - shall we say - discovery/presentation of evidence was within the last hour, although there were those (including you, IIRC) who were aware of the ex-member's duplicity long before the rest of us were.

I hope they don't read this over there but ... it's kinda fun, in a perverse sort of way (is there any better fun?) to bust their balls on the whole skepticism thing.

They get to hyperventilating. It's ... cool.

The tombstone assumes that all tombstone-ees (is that a word?) are male.


Perhaps I should start an "I am leaving DU..." thread over this outrage! :)

16. I don't mind folks with different ideas and perspectives posting
on DU. I resent the hell out of posters from other forums posting threads that are intended to insult and disrupt.

Ding, dong!

Edited on Sat Feb-26-05 01:09 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
shit on a regular basis.

Our "fairness" is turning DU into a place to debate conservatives...not what I signed on for when I threw my money at this place.


"I'm a pro-life, fundamentalist, creationist, anti-gay marriage, free market libertarian conservative. Is there ROOM FOR ME in the Democrtic party?"

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

30. I'm not certain, but
she posted a thread "I'm leavin DU". Her reason was too many Armed Forces personnel bashing. I left when the thread was still pretty much at the "Please don't go, vetwife. We need your input."

I'm guessing that it went downhill from there. It's a recent (today or last night) post.

I was just about to go into ATA and ask why someone who clearly expressed their desire to leave DU still had a profile. Now I don't have to. Good riddance! :mad:

31. She's like a lot of vet family members
Who think that their family's sacrifice should confer some hero status on themselves.

These people usually become pukes because to these people, the adulation is more important. They love the yellow ribbon made in China magnets. They love the God Bless America rallies.

I see it all the time, any criticism of any serviceman or THEIR MISSION is "bashing". They have to believe that the great sacrifice of their relative is for a worthy goal. The pukes tell them this. While at the same time, the pukes send them to immoral wars, cut their benefits, refuse to pay their medical benefits, and generally forget about them when (if) they arrive home.

Vetwife, if you are reading this (and I know you are), by following behind Bush, you are dishonoring your husbands sacrifice and all servicepersons sacrifices.

Let their sacrifices REALLY be to protect freedom, and support Democrats who won't send them to war for profit.

46. Except she isn't hurting us
She's hurting herself and her family. I am not going to fight these wars, nor is anyone I know going to fight for Bush and PNAC.

But she will cheer her family members and neighbors into battle and others, where they will come back dead, physically or emotionally. I think she's probably suffering from a version of Stockholm Syndrome.

47. Cruise throught the conservative pro Bush site she moderates
And then it may not be so difficult to know what to think. Sorry if this seems insensitive but she did heavily criticize us for supporting a pro troop candidate, KERRY. That's what it comes down to.
