These people are creepy! They say they publish our names so we will go to their site if we, for instance, Google a DU user name. Maybe I should tell you not to even go there. O, if you do, go there and post something to freak them back.

Again, from their forum instructions:

Why this is important is that it shows up in the search engines, when a primitive is looking for himself. The primitives, such idolatrous narcissists, always looking for themselves, and for nothing else.

But we want the primitives to come over, so as to be illuminated.

Oh how they hate DU and most DUers! Skinner? A veritable sub-human in their eyes.

While nearly every poster there has a "column" the real action is in the non-public forum where hatred of DU can be discussed privately. Also, plans to coordinate various actions at DU can take place there cause it's all secret.

Oh wait. Maybe there's a mouse or two in that party that can't be fully trusted...

So you see, for once, the both sides do it!1! is applicable.

Kinda sad, no? So much life to live out there in the world and yet many spend their lives on or talking about DU (much with heavy doses of hatred & self righteousness).

Check out this OP entiltled "Republicans Eating Boogers"

http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,91715.0.html

Or, if you don't want to give them clicks:

"We´ve all seen toddlers gross us out by eating their boogers. Why do they do such a disgusting thing? Because it makes them feel good.

The recent attempt by Tea Party Republicans to defund Obamacare is the equivalent of booger eating. It made them feel good, but it was not pretty to look at and the results were bound to turn out bad, which they did. Instead of the news covering the incompetent roll out of Obamacare, the lead stories were about the Republicans shutting down the government.
"

We need another lol smilie with it's head down and one hand slapping it's knee

A rare moment of clarity?

Hell is other people.

These folks live off the idea that they are actually having an impact on a world and culture that is changing faster than they can understand and have the creeping, unacknowledged suspicion that it is leaving them behind. For them, the only way to act is to react. Flailing ineffectually in and against a digital world that has no more substance than their thoughts.

The second thing that comes to mind, is that this further solidifies that they are the party of Mean and a Lack of Creativity. They can't have their own conversations, they have to create blather around other people's conversations.

... And their members include any number of Tombstoned trolls and, in some cases, bitter disaffected ex DUers. The protocol here, as I understand it, was to not give them free ad space by writing about them in these pages.

They are really creepy people with, apparently, no lives of their own. In addition, as you noted, they include a fair number of outright stalkers. Some of our members have actually been stalked somewhat dangerously, but I am not sure by whom.
