Is it just me, or has it been...

A crazy couple days around here? Staying away from posting in a certain thread right now cause I am sure there are gonna be a fair amount of alerts.

1. Probably one of ones I just trashed

Fall out from the hobby lobby ruling and embedded Libertarians around here is my guess

[TDale313]

2. You're in the ballpark. n/t

[freshwest]

3. Praise Skinner for Ignore! DU smells sweeter because of it...

[TDale313]

4. Too true.

Although it was pointed out that you can't serve on a jury for someone on your ignore list, so I try to keep my ignore list empty.

[freshwest]

5. But you can serve on juries of group posts you have on Ignore. Seemed odd until Skinner explained.

I use Ignore for health. And I refuse to be abused.

[TDale313]

6. Oh, I get that. n/t

[ismnotwasm]

14. I ignore two people

One because I'm convinced he's a troll and posts constant OP's, and the other for constant OP's. I should take one off again-- see if I can stand it

[freshwest]

15. There are trolls who know they are trolls. Others don't realize it yet. Everyone is suspect, LOL!

I see the embedded Libertarians and those are being converted.

I keep thinking of the scene with Schwarzenegger where the kid says:

'It could be a tumor.'

To which Arnie says:

'It's NOT a tumor!'

Some don't yet know they are tumors, er, trolls...



The only troll I like. Have pictures of the family climbing up there. Good times.

7. Yes, I did the same thing for that reason

If enough people put the bad posters on ignore, they'll skate through juries. It could explain why the mildest of attacks by good DUers are hidden while other egregious ones from trolls are allowed to stand. I see it too often not to wonder.

8. there have been a bunch of hides that were not deserved while ignorant offensive crap

have remained.

9. For all the claims of a

swarm originating here and hiding posts to make sure men aren't allowed to post anything anywhere, I notice feminists are always the ones getting hidden for far lesser offenses, and sometimes no offense at all, while misogynistic crap tends to stick around and stink.

Even though callout posts aren't particularly uncommon, I don't think I've seen anyone that wasn't a feminist get hidden for a post calling someone out in a while. Apparently being a feminist is enough to make linking to a thread someone posted an unbearable insult.

10. Check out what Agschmid did: reposted one of sea's posts that she was hidden for, word for word,

under a different name, and survived a jury 5-2.

Proves the accuracy of your post.

[theHandpuppet]

11. Wow!

I'd call that hard evidence.

[Squinch]

12. I think Agschmid deserves a hand for that one.

Of course there was a poster who said that it didn't prove anything and it needed to be replicated (probably over and over) before it was worth talking about.

13. Ah yes, the painfully obvious one who self-deleted.

So blatantly obvious, but no doubt thinks he's being oh so clever.
