1. Didn't see anything tweeted about that, so... no.

(snicker)

2. Given we were confronting the two Tweeter is bad and dangerous

posters at the time...

There are no coindinkis for me.

No, my tinfoil does not need adjusting on this.

5. dude , are you on something , I don't understand your post

[uppityperson]

7. Considering there were posts saying tweeting is bad, and several Duers were countering them

nadine would not not assume that this was a coincidence (DU going offline).

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Exactly, the time was way too odd

And it happened right after one of those saying tweeting is bad, went into why he uses a dynamic IP

That got my ears perked

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. No I am not on something,

there are no coincidences in life. That is all. A lesson you learn after a while. Some folks never do.

3. nope. Hadron collider.

[woo me with science]

6. OMG I'm wearing a chador!

9. I even searched Twitter for DemocraticUnderground

cuz I forget my Yahoo ID and password to get into the Panic Room :-(

We need our own Twitterverse for when DU goes down--not that it goes down but like once a year or so and even then it's just for a little bit.

15. #demund

there is your other "safe room"

[rainbow4321]

16. Thank you! Found it!

Whew. I had even thought it was my desktop when DU crashed and grabbed for the blackberry to get access. (with no luck, obviously)

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. I even turned my machine off for other reasons

we are addicts.

:-)

[WeDidIt]

10. No

but the DID apparenly send so Party People to post here.

11. Is DU really that relevant to the world?

I mean does the Iranian government really care or even know about DU? This is a nice place, but get a grip. In the overall scheme of things, DU is barely noticed.

12. You'd be surprised how petty the fanatics are.
