DI was shut down in part because the conservatives were idiots and abused the commercial spam hide.

LOL!! It’s not surprising though given the stuff the moderator allowed to be posted there which was clearly in violation of the Proboards TOS! I bet all the wingers are totally devastated tonight and the troll cavers are thrown back under the bridge where they belong!!

...they have to go back to Free Republic and start paying again to keep the place up. And of course, if they hit their "target" sooner...then the fundraising "target" will go up. Such a good business model.

In-between elections, the "Dumpster" is the most active forum. Didn't matter what the news was, good for them, bad for us, etc. All you hear are crickets. Just a bunch of angry idiots with emotional outbursts.

Reminds me of going to a golf course where everyone is predominately white and elderly. A game where you are supposed to get some exercise and relax a little. Instead you find these guys all on carts, pissed that you don't have one. Get more pissed when the vendor cart comes buy and you buy a beer. Rush as fast as they can on their carts to get to the stupid ball, hit it...hop on the cart and chase it again, angrily. You tell them to play through....and they are pissed about it.

I don't get it. Why rush through? Particularly with the obscene green fees. Have another pressing engagement? Then don't golf that day. And if your that angry, pretty sure your wife wants you stay there much as you can. You can DVR Fox News.

Maybe that's why I'm starting to get into model railroading and playing Dungeons and Dragons again.

and whining that they are being denied freedom of speech by some private corporation.

It never occurs to them that they themselves are the problem.

It also never occurs to them that they owed thanks to liberals for letting them spew hate and abuse people on discussionist for years.
