Any Wayback DUers remember Nadin?

[live love laugh]

I do. Just found her on Mastodon.

[Drum]

2. I do!

[Dave says]

3. Yes, I remember her

Amongst the best. Sorry remembrance had to come with the Mich State shooting.

[Texasgal]

4. I miss Nads!!!

Glad to see that name again!

[R. P. McMurphy]

5. Really liked her. nt

[hlthe2b]

6. Oh, yes. Certainly... Seems like a classic post for her.

(always tracking ongoing major events)...

[Stinky The Clown]

7. Oh yes. A woman not easily forgotten

[Crunchy Frog]

8. I was following her for some time while she was on Twitter.

She was doing a lot of posting on the Ukrainian situation.

I've got an account on Mastodon, but too stupid to figure out how to use it.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

9. Saw her on the Bird Site a year ago

She was doing some decent reporting on Ukraine.

[Raine]

10. Oh yes, I remember her! 💕

Nadin was an animal lover like me, I miss her. 😔

[crickets]

11. Yes, I do. /followed

[blm]

12. Yes

Nadin and, also Larisa Alexandrovna

[elleng]

38. A great friend!

Both with interesting family histories.

[blm]

68. 🫶

[Grey]

13. I remember ... nt

[Kaleva]

84. I just looked at your profile

I had seen someone rec'ed my post in the Rural/Farm Life group, saw your name, didn't recognize it so I checked your profile

You are one of the old times who don't post much!

[Grey]

85. Yes, I'm a long time lurker,

Wouldn't have make it through the Bush, tRump years without DU.

[Kaleva]

89. If I was allowed to go to just 1 site on the internet, it'd be DU.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. Yes. I miss her. It takes me back to the days

when we were promised beer money and many unique experiences and Dubya was the absolute worst president that we'd ever experience in our lifetimes.

[madinmaryland]

15. Random Thoughts.

[FSogol]

51. I am due beer and travel money and many experiences!

[Arazi]

16. Yep, she had a very large Twitter following (many thousands)

Left for Mastodon upon Musk’s takeover.

I presume she’s thriving there too

[Lisa0825]

17. Yes, I remember her! Thanks for the Mastodon ref!

I am @[e-mail]

[betsuni]

18. Called DU "neoliberal above ground" DU owners "Limousine insider DC, so called liberals"

all the anti-Democratic conspiracy theories, including rigged primaries and blood libel, stay home or vote third party (both sides are the same neoliberal neoliberal neoliberal), went on and on until the GBCW comedy classic post. Hilarious! (No, she is not a DU member.)

[LeftInTX]

21. Yeah, I think she quit DU and joined the Jackpine Radicals

Refused to support Democrats

[irisblue]

23. It was an impressive flameout

[live love laugh]

29. Wow. I missed her exit. I was gone awhile. Maybe I shouldn't have posted this?

[irisblue]

32. I say don't blame yourself, you didn't know.

[canetoad]

40. Yep

Definitely one of the more colourful exits. I remember it well.

[betsuni]

41. She said "I told your fucking party it was making a Weimar level mistake when you nominated

HRC." Weimar level mistake.

What was the point of demonizing Democrats? Now they pretend like it didn't happen. "Hillary was right about everything." What the hell were people like this doing?

[yardwork]

54. Calling Hillary a Nazi was a thing for a while. Mission accomplished for the Rs.

A lot of people who thought they were smarter than everybody else got taken in by online propaganda. They helped Trump win and now they've got a big hangover.

[Voltaire2]

56. A 'Weimar level mistake' is not calling Clinton a Nazi.

It was a prediction that her nomination was going to result in a disaster for the republic. She wasn’t wrong about the disaster, that happened. It is not obvious that any other candidate would have done better. All we have as evidence, rather than speculation, is that Trump won and Clinton lost.

[W_HAMILTON]

73. She and her Green Party friends helped that happen.

If I say I'm gonna rob a bank and I proceed to rob a bank, I'm not a fucking psychic -- I'm a bank robber.

The only "Weimar level mistake" here was the childish shit they pulled that helped bring about some of the worst stains on our democracy in our nation's history. The Republicans and the Russians were cheering them on every step of the way. And they now have years -- if not decades -- to be reminded of their disastrous decision pretty much every Supreme Court ruling.

[Hortensis]

87. And are doing now? "People like this" never yammer for accountability

for their own destructive actions. They can openly admire others in their tribe FOR helping elect civilization-destroying extremists, but never connect the responsibility. It didn't happen, doesn't exist.

"People like this" instead usually manage to arrive at the same anti-liberal conclusion to justify the ongoing disastrous consequences of their actions and continuation of them: It's the Democratic Party that's really responsible -- and has to be stopped.

[crickets]

25. Wowsers. I missed all of that. nt

[live love laugh]

30. Me too.

[calimary]

31. Looks like I did, too.

You summed it up, crickets. "Wowsers."

[obamanut2012]

44. It wasn't a one off

She was pretty horrible for a long time, and also really lied about themselves.

[obamanut2012]

43. Yup, don't get the love in this thread for her

She was kinda awful. Huge JPRer, too.

[Hekate]

19. I do. I used to mostly enjoy her posts & our exchanges. Was sorry when she left...

Tho I do vaguely remember why, but so it goes.

It sounds like she’s doing okay out there. 💕

[sir pball]

20. Wasn't she a big JPR?

I could and may well be wrong, but wasn't she one of the biggest voices here to jump over?

[LeftInTX]

22. Yes

[keep_left]

24. I think she got tombstoned over there...

...or otherwise flamed out in some dramatic way. I lurked at JPR for a while and saw some kind of flameout go down.

[obamanut2012]

45. Yup, really wasn't great for a long time

Then went completely off the rails.

Do not get the love for her on this thread.

[roamer65]

27. I liked her.

Got along ok when we conversed.

[Kali]

28. bombastic asshole

know-it-all troll, basically. "expert" at any and everything. skinner finally banned her.

[live love laugh]

33. I feel bad for bringing her up now. I didn't know.

[Kali]

34. she obviously fooled us for a long time

I was taken in until I caught her out during Arab Spring and the protests in Egypt.

[betsuni]

36. No! She was extremely unintentionally amusing and I've been giggling remembering

her ridiculous posts since. Except it's no joke promoting hateful anti-Democratic propaganda and hateful insults -- for what? I'll never understand anyone who did/does that.

[Hortensis]

88. Likely a lot didn't know, LLL, noticed posts that made good sense,

but missed some real eyeopeners -- and didn't seek out what excited those whose neural pathways took them to the same sort of strange conclusions hers did.

This'll likely be informative to others too. After all, the nation's largest forum for politically liberal supporters of Democrats and our ideals always draws some LWers who come to the party because they're neither liberal nor supporters.

[obamanut2012]

46. Boom!

This.

[treestar]

49. Yes, I remember how she was an expert

on everything, claiming to be, and was a reporter - for the East County News, which was I think just her invention.

She had every background possible: Jewish, but also Mexican. I think she said she had an accent. So she'd easily go into victim mode.

Pre-Trump anti-wind turbine power. They killed too many birds. She once went to comic-con and found federal agents there, planning an early insurrection.

[hunter]

66. Wind turbines won't save the world. They'll only prolong our dependence on natural gas.

Supporting them is just another flavor of climate change denial.

Yeah, I'm a radical environmentalist with a university science degree, and some kind of socialist who doesn't think cheer-leading for wind power automatically makes anyone a Democrat and all-around good person.

It's possible I have a greater tolerance for eccentric people than most, having been raised among them. I've also demonstrated my own eccentricities here on DU often enough these last twenty-one years.

I don't understand the ire people like Nadine or Radio Lady (RIP) raise in some people and I don't understand why certain people thought it necessary to bully them. Sure, hide the posts that deserve to be hidden, that break the rules, and if it leads to a tombstoning, well, that's what keeps this place sane. But there's no reason to deliberately provoke people who are constantly on the edge.

Personally, I have a really thick skin. I've been on the internet since the late 'seventies and have seen it all.

In my real world autistic spectrum life I never know if someone loves me or hates me until they kiss me or try to stab me in the heart. I've got an actual knife scar on my arm from the later. Every so often I'll glance at it to remind myself that it's not always a good idea to say the first crazy thing that pops into my head. Some people don't have that kind of internal filter. What little I have was hard won.

[treestar]

70. I was amused by her mostly

it wasn't the issue of whether the turbines are good enough, but rather her opposition's basis. When she went into victim mode, it never seemed like she was really insulted, but that she used it when she didn't have a logical answer.

[Kali]

67. it wan't the dead birds it was the blades breaking off and flying for a mile

and the electromagnetic radiation that caused local coyotes to climb trees. that was a hilarious thread.

[treestar]

71. LOL, I knew I only recalled it vaguely!

But it was hilarious, and the Comic-con Conspiracy.

[yardwork]

78. I remember that!

[Ptah]

60. Don't forget shelf stable milk. A necessity after the tsunami in Japan.

[Hotler]

63. I had a mother inlaw like that once. My exact quote was,

"Why Dorothy, you're the worlds walking book of knowledge." I tried to hold back, I really, really did. I had the marriage over and done with in 2-yrs.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

76. That's what I remember.

[tishaLA]

83. That was always my sense, too

I tried to avoid any interactions because it was always So. Much.

[OilemFirchen]

35. She was PPRed.

A self-righteous "journalist" for a penny-saver with no writing ability and amazingly transparent skin.

GRTBR.

[live love laugh]

39. LOL @ "transparent" -- I do recall some obnoxiousness.

[obamanut2012]

47. Who acted like they were Edward Murrow

[elleng]

37. Friend of mine, on FB.

[TreasonousBastard]

42. I remember her, but nothing specific.

[tavernier]

48. Good luck to her there.

She caused enough of a ruckus here.

[Emile]

50. The name rings a bell.

[lpbk2713]

52. I miss her frequent San Diego weather and traffic reports here on GD.

Even though I live 2500 miles away.

[OilemFirchen]

62. LOL!

[boston bean]

53. Oh yeah, and for all the wrong reasons.

Conspiracy nut.

[BlackSkimmer]

55. Wow, that's a blast from the past!

I remember her.

[demmiblue]

57. Good lawd... she was a self-righteous, know-it-all asshole. Always the victim, that one.

But some of her threads were comedy gold (like the wind turbine one).

I think she made two Hate Mailbag threads.

[live love laugh]

65. TWICE‼️

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

72. Hoo boy, the wind turbine thread was...um...interesting.

That's the most polite thing I could say about it.

[EYESORE 9001]

58. World's Best Critic

I’ll always remember her that way.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

59. Lol yepppppppp.

[mcar]

61. Oh yeah

big fan of Russia Today, as I recall.

[CoopersDad]

64. I remember Nadin- lots of local inside info, an activist

She's on other platforms, still actively working for the good side.

[W_HAMILTON]

74. If she did what everyone says she did in 2016...

... she's not working for "the good side" unless she's completely changed her ways, which I somehow doubt.

[SYFROYH]

69. She is a character. I remember her fondly even though there was some weirdness.

I wanna know where Bobolink is?

[niyad]

81. was thinking about her the other day.

[Kaleva]

75. She's part of the Golden Age of DU and we were "blessed" with interesting characters

[obnoxiousdrunk]

77. A jack of all trades.

[iemanja]

79. I remember when she posted a thread calling me a c....t

and got away with it.

[live love laugh]

82. Aye Yi Yi ... 😬😬

[niyad]

80. I was just thinking about her the other day. Thank you.

[likesmountains 52]

86. I questioned her story about "3 meters of hail" falling in Mexico..

She was not receptive to any pushback.
