Over at Discussionist--Look who is there.

[Kingofalldems]

Apparently 'Frank', the owner of Conservative Cave posts there. Isn't that special.

http://www.discussionist.com/101543444

Comes out in the body of the thread. It's the OP.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Yeah, he's there.

I haven't seen him much, but the one conversation we had was quite civil.

There are many folk there like him.

It's an interesting place.

[Kingofalldems]

3. Remembering history right here at DU

and the attacks on members here, I find his presence disgusting. I was just on a jury where he trashed Obama and of course it stood.

[Whisp]

7. that place stinks of rotting entrails.

I don't know how so many people signed up -- did Skinner advertise on Freeper or Cave? Where and when and how did they all get on the same idiot bus to get there?

[geomon666]

22. Don't kid yourself

They lurk here every day and know everything we say.

[City Lights]

25. I also find his presence disgusting.

He is arrogant, self-righteous and obnoxious.

As for "trashing Obama;" it's not DU, so some stuff that would get hidden here does not get hidden there.

[geek tragedy]

2. what's RimJob's handle? nt

[Kingofalldems]

4. Good question

There is a Jim_Robinson over there but don't know if it is him.

[geek tragedy]

5. somebody is trolling very well nt

[L0oniX]

37. petershilikov

[Laelth]

54. That's Frank (owner and operator of Conservative Cave).

That's not Jim Robinson, as far as I know.

-Laelth

[L0oniX]

55. Oh ...I'm confused.

[Laelth]

56. It's easy to get them mixed up.

Their rhetorical styles are different, but the message is essentially the same.

-Laelth

[MADem]

6. He's a jerk, who cares about him?

I feel just a teeny bit sorry for the guy--you've got to have serious issues to behave like a seventh grade bully on the internet; and lucky for him, those "issues" are covered by the ACA.

He can't possibly be well--his behavior makes that readily apparent. He should be pitied. Can you imagine going through life, and one of the biggest sources of the "jollies" you get is to fuck with people on the internet? I mean, really--talk about a waste of time, of life, of purpose. It's sad.

Discussion groups are supposed to, for the most part, be fun. People exchange ideas, they can get passionate about their beliefs, they can debate issues and learn something through the act of conversing back-n-forth; but that guy....all he does is FUCK with people. For sport! It's like a weirdo pulling wings off butterflies, or torturing frogs.

Definitely not quite the full quid. Hope he gets the help he needs--life is way too short to be like that.

[hack89]

8. iverglas popped up too. Nt

[Laelth]

9. I admit to being a bit "disappointed" in Frank's threads today.

They're mostly disruptive, straw-man arguments.



-Laelth

[L0oniX]

36. Guess he got his Commodore 64 up an running again.

[Autumn]

38. I've seen posts where he's very agreeable. I haven't seen him

today.

[Laelth]

40. He is always civil.

I will give him that.

-Laelth

[Autumn]

41. Skinner has started a discussion over there

I'm keeping an eye on it in case it get's really good.

http://www.discussionist.com/101543841

[Laelth]

47. Cool. Thanks for the link. n/t

-Laelth

[RainDog]

10. I don't really know much about that other site - cc

But have seen snippets about them here from time to time - I wasn't here during the Andy thing, for instance, b/c I had too many work commitments.

However if conservatives want to debate liberals in a neutral forum in a civil way - more power to those liberals, for those with the will to do so.

[cyberswede]

11. Gross. nt

[billh58]

12. Another reason to

avoid that swamp.

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. plus one

[UTUSN]

13. Deep down they love us, want us around, would be lost without us, respect us

Because they want to waterboard, pull fingernails, electrocute -- all without having to hear a foreign language. Bad enough that they don't know their own.

[Starry Messenger]

14. We've crossed the streams.

[betsuni]

44. I went over there and looked at that thread

Now I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

[Shandris]

15. "Conservative Cave"?

That's an actual place? Well, at least it sounds like they're being more honest these days...

[Ilsa]

18. yeah, for real.

As bad, if not worse, than FreeRethuglic.

[Brother Buzz]

16. Ace detective, MrScorpio busted him a week ago

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024993511

[joshcryer]

50. Nice find! Nice work by Scorp.

[grasswire]

19. Is there anyone named David Kalisek? nt

[Kingofalldems]

20. Not that I know of.

[Octafish]

21. Frank says all sorts of nice things about DU and DUers.

An example:

Recently banned DUer here wishing Conservative Cave all the best...

« on: July 29, 2013, 03:27:34 PM »

I am a Democrat that votes straight Democratic all the time, but I'm here to tell you that I wish all your moles the best of luck in destroying the community of loony ****s that is Democratic Underground.

It's completely disgusting to me that they are considered a true representation of the Democratic Party when they ban people like me for defending the party platform and its leaders.

Keep poking sticks at dipshits like PowerToThePeople, Octafish, kpete, Segami, 99th_Monkey, quinnox, Fire Walk With Me, MannyGoldstein, woo me with science, Catherina, Cleita, and nadin and watch the fireworks fly.

23. Don't you feel speshull!

CCers are obsessed sociopaths.

Their hatred of you is a sign you are the best kind of person!

[NuclearDem]

24. Ah, good old AINIC.

[Warpy]

31. Aw, I feel so left out.

Well, maybe not that much.

[L0oniX]

35. Skittles didn't make the list? WTF

[merrily]

52. A lot of my favorite posters. Shows how good they are.

Since the Cave dwellers are not above having multiple fake identities at DU, I doubt that they are above pretending to be butthurt DUers, dropping by Conservative Cave to wish the Cave dwellers luck.

(Apologies to our noble ancestors, the cave dwellers.)

[elleng]

26. NEVERMIND!

[ismnotwasm]

27. Ew

I still see no reason to post over there. I've signed up, but have yet to sign in.

These threads are kind of fun though. I'd rather make fun of them from here. I might catch cooties over there.

[L0oniX]

34. A200 is your friend.

[ismnotwasm]

46. Yeah well you still have something on your screen

[L0oniX]

51. It's on your screen too!

[pinboy3niner]

57. Not anymore

All fixed, now.

[L0oniX]

58. I unfriend her.

[Ellipsis]

28. His been there for a while...

I actually think it's a good thing.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

29. In the couple of times I spied on the CC....

....that was his avatar as I recall. He was in every thread after all. Had to be with six posters on the whole site.

Holy shit....Graham for Anything is over there! You wanna talk about a nut! Does he still think Tom Harkin is selfish for wanting to retire?

[Warpy]

30. Oh, they all think they've mastered the art of debate

They just don't get that opinions aren't facts and slogans aren't debate.

That's one reason I haven't been over there and will probably not go. They have nothing worth reading and their party's policies have all been failures.

All they have left is ad hominems. Since they're unoriginal, those get dreadfully boring after a while.

[L0oniX]

32. Let the harassment begin.

[Autumn]

33. Look who else is there, having a discussion.

http://www.discussionist.com/101543841 I like that

[seaglass]

42. Someone clearly needs to take the lead over there. I noticed he has also attempted to sway people

away from complaining about DU but that hasn't seemed to work so well.

[Autumn]

43. I think the complaining about DU will pass in time

the conservative always complain about DU and DUers are blowing off steam. It's a little more free there.

[seaglass]

45. Not sure about that. With the open door policy between the two, it's very easy to get

PPRd or temporarily unable to post here - pissed off about that and then start shit-stirring about DU and DUers over there. Look how po'd people are about getting banned from here YEARS ago. They have been letting off steam about it for years on FB and wherever and STILL complain over there. I see it as an ongoing issue.

[Autumn]

48. Well yeah it's very easy to get hidden posts here, over there not so much.

Some of he banned DUers seem to be settling down now that they can interact with DUers that they knew before. I like the conversations there, you don't have watch what you say and so far ever jury I have served on has been an overwhelming leave people don't seem to want to hide things. All the complaining I have seen about hidden posts have been conservatives.

[treestar]

39. I thought it might be

Graham 4 anything you were going to say. He is there too

[joshcryer]

49. Well shit, that talking point is damn familiar.

I wonder where I saw it before? Hmm...

Interesting that iverglas has an outlet there. I feel bad for people when they lose their internet homes (not that her ban was undeserved; just she was a long timer).
