I DID NOT just make a donation to Democratic Underground.

[Avalux]

And I urge everyone here - whatever you do - DO NOT make a donation. After 7 years, more than 120K members and more than 37 million posts, no one would miss DU if it didn't exist anymore, so why bother? It's not as if any of us look forward to engaging in debate with our fellow Democrats (even if it gets tenacious).

Also, I will not thank Skinner, EarlG, and Elad for being the absolute worst Administrators of any message board anywhere.

And the moderators - what a sorry bunch. Who on earth would dedicate so much of their time without pay to keep this place running except people who do not care one bit about the Democratic Party?

So who else will join me in NOT DONATING to DU????

;) :D :kick: :toast: :applause: :woohoo:

[ThatsMyBarack]

1. May Fools??

[Avalux]

3. lol - yes.

This is the worst fund drive ever, isn't it? ;-)

[ThatsMyBarack]

6. The pits.

;)

[Rosemary2205]

2. Those lazy jerks can't even bother to send Grovelbot to steal avatars.

Those dudes are probably all sitting around drinking lattes right now. :)

[Avalux]

Damn them!!!

Bunch of latte-drinking losers! I miss grovelbot too. x(

[wtmusic]

4. I already didn't donate

and it wasn't the result of their phony reverse psychology. :crazy:

[Avalux]

7. HA!

I am so happy you didn't succumb to their evil ploy for cash! :D

[islandmkl]

5. i will join you in not donating anything more to these jackals in their shameless plea for more...

'recreational funds'...

a position i have maintained since tuesday last...

:evilgrin:
:toast:
:bounce:
:headbang:

[Avalux]

9. Excellent!

Another one who has resisted the shameless pandering. :toast:

[seabeyond]

8. i will NOT donate later today. anyone need a star. especially a hillary support

i am votin for obama. kinda an olive branch

[Avalux]

12. That's a terrible thing to do.

Nah - nice gesture. I think I will do the same. :hi:

[Nikki Stone1]

13. I do not need a star

I don't I don't I don't!

[seabeyond]

14. ah hahahah. that is soooo not cute. lol. thanks for the giggle. n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

15. :)

:D

[Nikki Stone1]

16. Did my shameless plug net me a star?

Bless you, seabeyond! That's so very sweet of you! :hug:

[seabeyond]

17. and it looks so very pretty on you

:)

[Nikki Stone1]

18. You're making me blush

:blush:

[seabeyond]

19. lol, really... even out loud. n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

20. You know, I had taken a break from this place because it had gotten so crazy

But it is so nice to know that some good people stayed. Your gift has made me feel better about DU. Thanks.

[seabeyond]

21. good

cause i too have been feeling a little down here lately, too. and this was a reminder for me that in the past we often gave/received and was something that made du special. so i hear what you are saying.

[Nikki Stone1]

22. Well, the primary season was just way too long. It started not long after the 2006 election.

And things just started getting worse and worse. Now that it looks like we have a candidate, I figured I'd come back and post again. Thank you for the reminder of why I came here in the first place. :)

[40ozDonkey]

10. I donated a few days before the official Donation Drive.

My timing is catfood and ass.

[Avalux]

11. That wasn't funny -

you just made me choke on my coffee. :rofl:

[Avalux]

23. I am not kicking this thread.

:yoiks:

[spanone]

24. i didn't either and by not doing that i did not kick this thread

[hatrack]

25. Me neither - and GrovelBot had nothing, I repeat NOTHING to do with my decision to not donate!!!!

So THERE!

[orleans]

26. FINE! you talked me out of it. i will NOT be putting the check in the mail today! n/t

[Call Me Wesley]

27. Of course I did not donate.

And I didn't get the homemade donut from Grovelbot's dad. It's vanilla-mocha-latte anyway. Why should I even consider to support such a liberal thing like vanilla-mocha-latte? And before I notice it, I'm probably supporting the Democratic Party! HA!



Call Me Wesley
DU Member of the sorry bunch

Hey! Good to see ya! :hug:

[angstlessk]

28. I see the donut, but where the hell is the FREE ICED COFFEE???

damn, do you not know nothin?

[Call Me Wesley]

34. Uhmmmm,

I think you don't get it if you don't donate twice ... ;) I remember him muttering something about a 'half double decaffeinated half-caf, with a twist of lemon.'

[Avalux]

30. LOL!

I can't believe you know grovelbot's dad!! And I'm not sure I'd trust that donut. :yoiks:

Good to see you too - say hi to the missus for me! :hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

31. I've met him once when

I followed your advice and didn't donate. He had some quite impressive arguments. :scared:



I'll say hi to the missus! :hug:

[angstlessk]

29. if you DO NOT kick this just 3 more times the new and improved

grovelbot will NOT appear but grumblebot (from 'Old and In the Way' on another thread) might?

35. Grovelbot - does your Dad know where you are???

:rofl:

[Hissyspit]

33. I didn't donate almost immediately!
