THANK YOU MODS!!!

[Systematic Chaos]

The Scourge of the Economy Forum (tm) finally got his 9-topping pizza!

I'm gonna do the happy dance, then I'm gonna turn in early for bed.

Man I have never been so happy here as I am now!

And, for those of you who don't know who I'm referring to, the first hugh clue (I'm series!) is in my first sentence above.

If you really need another clue, search back a bit for a thread about payday loans.

Again, THANK YOU MODS for listening to me - and the rest of us who were frustrated by this person - and thank you also for everything you do to keep DU halfway sane!

:yourock::woohoo::yourock:

1. what finally did it?

[Systematic Chaos]

5. I don't want to take sole credit for it, because I'm FAR from the only one who alerted.

But, yesterday when I alerted one particularly insensitive post he'd written I pointed out that this person had been the subject of numerous call-out threads which had been locked previously. I also spoke at some length about how this person would keep posting things just to get under other DUers' skin.

There have to be at least a couple dozen DUers who made this happen and I'm just glad it finally did. As I've said before, in almost 7 years on this site only one person made me angry enough to completely melt down, and I don't lose it without a highly compelling reason. :P

2. THAT guy!

GOOD RIDDANCE!

[bridgit]

3. The *Economy* Forum!? Isn't that like being TS'd out of the Cooking Forum er'somethin...

For what outrage' do such things happen? :dunce:

[John Q. Citizen]

4. There are good citizens and not so good citizens. The bads ones must go

[Vanje]

11. heheheh nt

[Quantess]

6. Yep, I really did need another clue. Thanks, I'm guessing that will be enough.

..............................................
nope, no it didn't help. I still have no idea what you are talking about.

[Systematic Chaos]

9. Okay then, check out this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=114x53513

I still wonder if he ever successfully decoded me and GliderGuider's hexidecimal stuff. :rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

20. Oh, THAT guy...

He called me a "fucking hypocrite" a couple weeks ago because I said I didn't like going into Walmart but I got my medication there. Glad he's gone.

[Quantess]

37. Oh, that one.

What a hypocritical citizen 9.

[Mojorabbit]

7. Couldn't have happened to a more

heartless person. Good riddance.

[Occam Bandage]

8. ...the economy forum had a scourge?

I'm now wondering if there is a Birders scourge. Anyway, could someone link me one of his more offensive pieces of work, so I can know how happy to be?

[bridgit]

10. heh-heh, good one...

:)

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Wow, I can't believe they finally got him.

It didn't seem like there was anything he could do to get himself TS'd. His other incarnation is still here, but it's a start.

13. yay! good riddance! n/t.

15. Ah! There you are, other incarnation.

:hi:

[1]

18. the only reason i posted was because of your utter and complete misunderstanding...

pm a mod and ask them to check ip addresses or some such. you might think i was another poster, but i am not.

i am as glad as you are that there are fewer of us now here. that way all y'all "tinfoilers" can stop associating posters that have a digit in common. the one with the idiotic thoughts, as opposed to the clear logic (and i suppose sometimes ideas you don't share) of the other.

voyez-vous, buddy?

[Crunchy Frog]

19. Just have a similar name and post in exactly the same fashion.

Yeah, okay. I'll buy that.

[1]

21. whatever...

ok, here's what you should do. stalk me and my every post. follow me everywhere. make it you du mission to get me. make it your obsession.

do that. that would be the sign of a healthy life well lived.

or perhaps volunteer at a food bank or a shelter to help. donate some money for the cause. maybe just take a long walk in a park.

like i said, whatever...

[Crunchy Frog]

22. Sorry. You're just not as important as you think you are.

[1]

24. cool. as it should be...

i'll post my thoughts, you post yours.

just stop casting your aspersions, ok? i'm a bit tired of it, and the mods here might just see it as a violation of our rules.

[Occam Bandage]

42. Your shared lack of capital letters does make you look awfully similar.

That would be a good opportunity to improve your writing and silence the people claiming you're a sock.

[juno jones]

39. number 9, number 9 number 9,

Always the same number.

I am number 6.

[juno jones]

40. PS

did you know that symbolically the number nine is tied in with dreams and unreality? It also signifies the end of cycles. Your lot is outta here. Not just in this forum and board, but world wide.


And you thought it was just a cool number.

[G_j]

16. clever

:eyes:

[catnhatnh]

17. Hey GG...great to see you...

And as John Houseman said, he got that pizza the old fashioned way-"He EARNED IT!". That said, it was a fun search since it was my first trip to the "economy" forum and interesting in itself. That said I found myself "GaSPing" at what appears to be a soulmate of his with about 90 posts...I'm gonna have to check about weekly to watch this clown....I'm betting he doesn't make 800....

[devilgrrl]

23. I need to know how someone so obvious lasted that long?

:crazy:

:puke:

[Elwood P Dowd]

25. His twin is still with us, as you have noticed.

He also has a few cousins. Might take some time to purge all of 'em.

[Systematic Chaos]

26. Yeppers!

We just need to keep working on it. :)

[1]

28. vee must all post in lockstep, all other opinions must be purged...

"purged"? your word, elwood. not mine...

my god, do you even read what you post?

and see how scary it is?

do we really want to seek unity by requiring individuals to subordinate their/other ideas to the collective thought of du? (whatever you think that is?)

are you so afraid of another thought that you must purge it?


this is perhaps the scariest thread ever on du. this is not how liberals think or act. we embrace ideas, discuss them. we don't "purge" the speakers of other ideas.

madon...

[catnhatnh]

31. Oh Yeah....

I'll be watchin' you...great song.

[Systematic Chaos]

33. Are we getting a bit carried away, perhaps?

Maybe just a teeny, tiny bit?

The vast majority of DUers, at least in my humble opinion, understand what these boards are designed to be for. We don't mind persons disagreeing with us, or having different opinions. We DO mind when those people choose to insult others for no reason. We DO mind, when we come here to talk about our hardships or personal mistakes, when people with holier-than-thou attitudes rub our noses in it, like cats who forgot to use the litter box one time too often.

How you went from Elwood's choice of the word "purge", which in this case simply means getting rid of some of DU's deliberately irritating trolls, all the way to "lockstep" this, "subordinate" that and "collective" the other is, to put it mildly, interesting. And that goes double when your first post in this topic said, and I quote:

"yay! good riddance!"

So, are you happy to have seen He Who Shares the Last Digit of Your Screen Name (tm) out of here, or not? :shrug:

[1]

34. that's great GG...

just so long as you "don't want to take sole credit for it"

you know, as someone getting a bit carried away, perhaps?

[Systematic Chaos]

35. An admission of guilt if ever there was one.

Good one, Maynard.

:eyes:

[1]

36. *smooch*

say/post one thing, do another. i get it. carry on.

[Sinistrous]

27. I have a morbid fascination with "Tombstoning", so

I researched about a dozen threads where the person of interest in this thread posted.

I'm sure one of you folks would point me to some of his more egregious posts, because, other than his posting from a point of view somewhat different than the common one here, and consistently pointing out shortcomings in the logic and scholarship of some of the more prolific posters, I saw nothing that even remotely warranted being Tombstoned.

[Systematic Chaos]

30. This is the one that I lost it over:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=4715201#4722011

And it's not just what he had to say, it's how he goes about it.

You will also find further links within that thread from other people who were tired of his antics. He was subtle. The vast majority of the time he didn't say anything particularly inflammatory. He just chose a few special moments to make one or more of us feel like shit for no good reason, or to express a point of view which reeks of right-wing talking points just to get a rise out of the community.

I can easily understand why you checked "about a dozen" threads, and came up empty-handed. :)

[Pithlet]

32. Yeah, defending payday loan places? Bad news.

:thumbsdown: I noticed he wasn't too keen on UHC either in another thread I saw him in. Didn't see anything really that looked even remotely Dem. Good riddance.

[Sinistrous]

41. Sorry,

but I found those posts to be merely unconventional and unemotional, but hardly disruptive.

My take is that he invaded other folks comfort zone by calling out their statements that were BS and they got upset.

At the moment, I am less than impressed with the reigning claque in the Econ forum. I'm sure you are heartbroken at that.

[Systematic Chaos]

43. I don't know you, and I don't recognize your name from anywhere.

Therefore, what you've stated causes me to feel pretty much... nothing.

It's your opinion and I don't have a problem with that.

Cheers.

[Crunchy Frog]

44. The most egregious ones got deleted.

He actually called someone a "c**t".

[ConsAreLiars]

29. Thanks. I had noted that poster as an idiot asshole, and another with some common traits,

but not encountered it often enough to be certain. You know, that liberal attitude that even a RW jerk might have some positive attributes if you get to know it better. Few encounters since then, but it seems to have been a 100% RW jerk ever since.

Half (or less) of that particular problem has been dealt with (thank you) but the sock puppet(s) are still active, it seems.

[fasttense]

38. That citizen of the underworld is at last removed

from the economic forum. Thank you all for alerting on the idiot.
.:bounce: :bounce:

When he tried to justify the Iraq war and described bush as being reasonable for attacking Iraq, I knew he was a freeper. On just about every post on the economic forum he would start some kind of argument so you couldn't discuss issue. You had to fight him off before you could address the question on the post.

Thanks Gentle Giant for letting all us regulars know he's gone. I think I will visit that forum again.

[Nikki Stone1]

45. There's an economy forum?

Just kidding. :evilgrin:
