1. Disappointing, but not unheard of...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. It would be nice if we were more vigilant...

Oh, and thinking "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is an illiberal lens to view the world through.

[DonViejo]

25. File an alert.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. I was a bit reluctant to call somebody a troll...

But my spidey sense was correct.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

2. Context?

[randys1]

3. Could you tell us the thread in the greatest section, at least?

[HappyMe]

5. Link to thread?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Voila

Your's truly spotted him immediately. More likely than not a right winger posing as a left winger to sew dissension among left wingers so he can laugh at them for his own amusement.

[HappyMe]

7. They are already banned.

MIRT was on the case before I could even see the thread.

[arcane1]

9. They've been banned. The system appears to be working, IMO

[geek tragedy]

11. Starting to look like 2000, with people desperate

for Elizabeth Warren to morph into Bill Bradley.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. Putting that aside we were infiltrated with "bad poll" trolls in 012

And when you called them out some well intentioned DUERs said you were trying to suppress bad news. However they were trolls, almost to a one, who ended up banned.

Their goal is to demoralize/and or create dissent.

15. That poster was here since January

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=320208

But I don't disagree with your assessment.

[Dont call me Shirley]

26. Using the name of an emperor and a dictator should make DUers alert to his shenanigans.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. That was his sock, hence the immediately banning.

There was nothing in his post that violated DU rules that would have resulted in a instant banning but it wasn't coming from a sincere place. That's why I take exception.

I don't like to be played or bamboozled.

8. Yes, the guy not talking about Sid using the same IP as Skinner

is totally the same as the guy talking about Sid using the same IP as Skinner.

16. Ramses is Augustus or was Augustus./NT

[zappaman]

10. But the RECS remain!

[revmclaren]

33. And it's all the usual suspects....

They don't even try to hide their agendas anymore. But I'm sure they have plenty of socks in their dresser drawers too so what the hell....

[daredtowork]

12. Is this Ramses?

If so, I think the people who were pushing him should take some responsibility. That was definitely a tango. *sigh*

[cwydro]

14. Nah, that was good old

"Name Removed."

Visits a lot lately.

[geek tragedy]

21. it WAS Ramses. Nobody pushed that one over the edge, that's where he was reincarnated nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Oh, goody. Another mystery.

[B Calm]

19. Post 6 has the link!

[4now]

17. Another useless post

This isn't making to the Greatest Page.

[Phentex]

20. I think this is where we post...

In Before the Lock

[pintobean]

34. It just did.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. It did./NT

[NYC_SKP]

18. The veneer was very thin, almost paper thin... Transparent, in fact.

[NYC_SKP]

22. Oh, PS, he Walt Starred himself....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026264493

I remember now, something about IP addresses.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. I miss Walt...I didn't agree with him but I hate to see anybody banned.

And he was overzealous but not right wing.


I don't mind good honest differences but when right wing trolls pretend to left to sew discord among us or demoralize us I get upset.

[Bobbie Jo]

24. Obligatory...

you Better Believe It!

Another "respected DU'er" serial troll.

Yep...

[dilby]

27. Wish I knew what this was all about, seems like everyone else knows what happened but me. n/t

[sharp_stick]

29. I've been lucky enough to have never

posted a "you betcha, great post kiddo" reply to something so obvious, at least as far as I know.

[Sheepshank]

30. The list of "rallying around and supporters" fo the OP are also pretty predictable.

Funny how that works.

[William769]

32. He didn't make the greatest page.

Only the trending section.

I will say birds of a feather...

[one_voice]

37. I'm going to lock this...

as it doesn't meet the SOP for GD. Thanks.
