Beware all DUers.
There are posters on this site who are out to get you. They are stalking you, watching where you post and when, and are making detailed notes about which OPs you rec or fail to participate in.
They are compiling naughty and nice lists, and will use your own words against you when the time of reckoning is upon us.
Like a political Rapture, those who are with/against The Truth will be judged in the end, and those found wanting will be cast into the hellfire for all eternity.
Do not hesitate to warn your fellow posters that they are being targeted for hides or complete annhilation by the evil forces that are bent on their destruction. Do not waiver in promoting your conviction that Democrats v Democrats is a great idea on an (allegedly) Democratic website in the lead-up to the 2016 election. Do not be dissuaded from your mission to be as divisive as possible when others call for civility, an honest exchange of ideas, or actual discussion of the issues.
Please continue in the righteous fight to make it apparent that fellow Democrats, by virtue of their support of any candidate other than you own choice, are THE ENEMY. Do not placate these fellow party members by seeing their point, or understanding their concerns, or recognizing their differing opinions as being in any way valid or worthy of consideration. That way of thinking is the slippery slope that leads to unity among Party members, which is to be avoided at all costs.
So take care, my fellow Democrats or those purporting to be so. Be on the lookout for those attempting to engage you in conversation; they are only trying to bait you into saying something alertable. Their only purpose in being here is to get you PPRd because DU is the ultimate on-line political war game, and zapping the enemy into tombstoned status is the ultimate win.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. This post will be alerted on, and ultimately hidden by one of those juries that no longer even pretend to be interested in the community standards they are supposed to represent.
And so be it. Not only do I not care, it only serves to prove that there are posters here who are intent on pitting Democrats against each other, and are doing so in hopes of dividing the Party in the lead-up to an all-important election in 2016. And their freedom to do so on DemocraticUnderground is a sad reminder of what this site once was, and what it has become.
The alert button is down there somewhere. Dont hesitate to use it. I assure you I wont lose any sleep over being silenced for stating the obvious.

Quite frankly, since it hasn't been of much help in any races I'm aware of, I don't see how it could be of much harm.
It's a lot of fun, though, coming here and practicing for battling it out in the real world.

(26,582 posts)There are posts/threads I remember from years ago, only because they were remarkable (moon bombing, anyone?). But to mention someone didn't reply to me from year ago? Uh, no. Heck I didn't even reply to a response to me today because I no longer cared to engage with the poster.

I'm sorry, but I have to laugh at the craziness of it.
That is very creepy though.

Everyone who has been here a while knows them by their posting history.

Pure meta - not in a safe haven group. Nance should know better than this.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Aug 24, 2015, 07:14 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Meta
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: LOL
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I give the OP her wish.
Be damned with such ugly crap that has no redeeming value whatsoever.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is pure flame baiting.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Meta should be locked, not hidden.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Names of the alerters should be noted along with the alert. I'm sure that would cut down on some of these frivolous alerts. Some.
