If you got this in your DU mailbox would you alert the administrators as I just did?

Just asking
Maybe it's normal behavior here

[malaise]

1. I would

for sure.
Freaking wow!

[uppityperson]

44. HE'S BEEN BANNED, and is recurring troll

sorry for yelling, malaise, trying to get this near the top where others might see it.

He's been banned, is a recurring troll who frequents DU and many other internet sites for 10 yrs posting this shit. If anyone gets one of these, PLEASE immediately pm a DUer who is on MIRT, the current list is always in the Announcements forum.

He's been banned here thousands of times, and thrives on posting this sick shit. He's been reported to the authorities in the past, but continues to be an ass.

[pscot]

58. That's not an ass

That's a psycho.

[uppityperson]

61. well, there is that

Total agreement. I wish this thread would be self deleted to not give him the thrill he desires.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

62. I only read a few lines before K&R. Trolls love achieving your ignore lists...

Right-wing online creeps also send PMs badmouthing new writers at DU, who are true blue Democrats or publicly recommend ignoring writers, who consistently present democratic or progressive ideas. After we put them on an ignore list, evil prevails, like Gandhi said: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Some paid Trump-trolls and garden variety Freepers display a relatively large number of posts. Read the comment where a Trump-troll disables an established, reasonable, D.U. Member. Check the number of times this individual has smashed Sanders, Clinton and Obama:

[Coventina]

2. Um, yeah, that's disgusting and needs admin attention right away.

Wow.

So sorry that happened to you.

[Gomez163]

3. I'd call the cops too

[villager]

9. Yeah, not just admins, but cops. This is a death threat, person needs to be arrested. nt

[840high]

33. Yes

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. nah. its just DTG. he comes around here all the time and does this

[polly7]

4. Wow. That's horrible. I would definitely send it on. nt.

[LiberalArkie]

5. I sure would have alerted someone.

[LiberalElite]

6. I would and

it's not normal here.

[Texasgal]

7. This death threat guy

he's sends this spam out to alot of people and has done so for years. I'd contact the admins so they can ban this IP again.

[braddy]

8. What is the story, and what thread do you think caused it? How did two April sign ups get into such

situation?

[djean111]

17. "How did two April sign ups get into such a situation?" - My thought, exactly.

Something is skeevy.

And, somehow, I fully expect this to be pinned, in some tortuous fashion, to Bernie.

[Hekate]

46. There is no "cause" at DU. He's aka Death Threat Guy and is a sicko who's been banned many times.

[braddy]

51. Death threat guy should be reported to law enforcement.

What usually gets him going, who does he tend to focus on?

[JustAnotherGen]

10. Send it up to MIRT too

[Oneironaut]

11. Hey it's death threat guy

His obsession is strange. His victims seem to be random. He just sends the same thing over and over again. Weird.

[johnp3907]

12. I'd look into alerting the police too.

I don't know anything about cyberlaws. Maybe the administrators can deal with that side of it.

[Demonaut]

13. it's normal

for complete psychopaths who are about to be tombstoned

[Kelvin Mace]

14. Yeah, this person needs to go, now

And we wouldn't mind you sharing the name of the sender, since folks need to know this is how he feels about women.

What brought this on? Did you state you were looking forward to the new Ghostbusters movie? That usually sets them off.

[Texasgal]

16. The sender is

GOPblows431

It's at the top of the OP's post.

[HooptieWagon]

19. Why don't they show up?

[Texasgal]

22. Who? n/t

[HooptieWagon]

24. Death threat person. Can't find them in user list.

[Texasgal]

27. Looks like he's been banned.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=333173

[Behind the Aegis]

25. He is been banned.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=333173&sub=trans

Since he was under 100 posts, when banned all previous posts disappear and become "Name Removed".

[Maeve]

21. He is also gone eom

Revoked, troll per EarlG

[Kelvin Mace]

49. Of course it was....

:doh:

[Iggo]

15. Meta!

[truebluegreen]

54. Death threats are just "meta"? Really?

[Iggo]

55. Sorry, that was snippy of me.

Of course I don't think death threats are just meta.

[truebluegreen]

57. Whew. nt

[spanone]

18. 'Maybe it's normal behavior here' you think so?

just asking

never seen anything like that. hope i don't.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. is this death threat guy? if so he has been around a while and keeps coming back under many diff

iterations

[TeamPooka]

29. MIRT spends a lot of time banning DTG. He never stops trying.

[longship]

23. He's buh-bye!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=333173&sub=trans

EarlG took out the trash.

[wendylaroux]

26. OMG!!! sickest thing I have ever read.

Who would think this,and then write it?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

56. Sounds like an episode of Game of Thrones.

[demmiblue]

28. "Just asking. Maybe it's normal behavior here." Seriously?!

On another note, death threat guy has been all over the internet for years. As in this case, the admins are pretty quick with the ban.

[cwydro]

30. That sounds like DTG.

He is one sick puppy.

[maxrandb]

31. Trump has a DU Account??

Who knew?

Yeah, I wouldn't just notify the Admins. I'd contact the police. Not hard to track folks down if there is an IP address.

Mom's going to be shocked though when they raid her basement to arrest this guy.

[lagomorph777]

32. I would alert the FBI.

[snooper2]

45. yeah, I'm sure they'll get right on that

[LanternWaste]

52. Your surety appears relevan

Your surety appears relevant.

[uppityperson]

34. I am sorry you got that. He's a troll who has frequented DU and across the internets for yrs

posting this crap. He's been banned here thousands of times, and has again been banned. Many of us have received this over the yrs, though he has some he targets more than others.

It's nothing personal towards you, though is rather shocking to see. He's a sick person who has been doing this for 10 years, targeting many on many websites.

He was banned again. And again, apologies for letting him through. MIRT tries to ban him asap, but sometimes he gets through.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. he's gotten better with the names he picks its no longer just random alpha numerical shit

[skip fox]

35. This may be normal behavor but not at DU!

Maybe in the lower pockets of hell, maybe at a Trump rally.

[zappaman]

38. That guy comes and goes all the time.

He'll be back and be banned again.
Apparently, this is not the only website he does this to.

[leftyladyfrommo]

39. That is one sick puppy.

That's one problem with the internet. Some really disturbed individuals are lurking out there.

The FYI really needs to be tracking this guy. He could be really dangerous.

[jonno99]

40. Wow - that is seriously F'd up...nt

[Glassunion]

41. Sounds like they attend our Marketing meetings here at work.

[Dragonfli]

42. DTG /NT

[Hekate]

43. Two things: Block all private messages from him and IMMEDIATELY alert the Administrators (link)

Ask The Admins: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1259

Block/Ignore function: At the head of the PM are four labeled icons: the fourth is Block this Sender. When you click on that you will be given two choices: Block Mail and Full Ignore. Block Mail means you will not ever receive a PM from him again. Full Ignore means you will not see any of his posts on the board, either.

Alert Abuse: Icon at the bottom of the message; click on that and report the abuse.

This is 100% unacceptable at DU and the sender should be banned from DU.


EDITED to add: Should have read the whole thread first. I see GOPBlows aka Death Threat Guy has already been banned. Again. I'm sorry you got that shit.

[NuclearDem]

47. The Unholy Trinity of Death Threat Guy, Library Girl, and SHART.

[cyberswede]

48. You should self-delete this, so the troll won't get any satisfaction from reading how it upset you.

He's been banned - he'll get his jollies reading this thread.

He's a serial troll who signs up over and over again and sends DU mail like this to random people. He's had HUNDREDS of accounts here. Sometimes he posts similar things in replies. He's been posting shit like this all over the internet for YEARS. He's a total wanker with too much time on his hands. Pathetic, really.

[SwankyXomb]

50. Probably getting high fives over at Disgustionist

[Bettie]

53. Yep.

Not normal behavior at all...even in GD: Primaries

[democrank]

60. No, it`s not normal behavior here.

I`m so sorry this happened to you.

~PEACE~

[lpbk2713]

63. Who would have thought Trump would have time for that?

He must have stayed up late putting that one together.

[nolabear]

64. That's not normal anywhere!

I'm surprised I didn't know this was a serial troll. I'm really, really sorry you've had to deal with this.

[aikoaiko]

65. People like that love the exposure you just gave him.

Please alert on the DUemail and admins will take care of such things. This guy was banned.


I urge you to delete this OP so that he doesn't get anymore satisfaction from it.
