GDP on ignore, since the primary is over

[realmirage]

It's mostly super angry people there who have lost all ability to put forth reasonable arguments. Their posts are so ridiculously over the top that I can't take it seriously anymore. Do they really think they're going to convince anybody by going into a rage, full of silly insults and lack of calm reason?

It's like the final scene of Titanic over there, chaos and pure emotion.

Arguing with such a small number of people on the Internet, which don't reflect what most people in the real world think, is really a waste of time.

Moving on to the general election now.

1. Agreed!

GDP should be renamed "Denial & Rage."

[realmirage]

19. and they post all their conspiracy theories with absolute certainty that it's proven fact

[SunSeeker]

2. Sadly, they've also infested GD, Videos, Good Reads and LBN with that garbage.

[savalez]

3. and the HRC group

with false alerts.

[SunSeeker]

5. Yep. How pathetic must your life be to have nothing better to do than troll protected groups?

Seriously. I never go into the Sanders group. Why would I?

[savalez]

8. Yep, they are a pathetic bunch.

[realmirage]

18. i noticed that too. They definitely need to get out of the house more

[stopbush]

4. It's a rapidly shrinking BS chamber over there.

[workinclasszero]

6. I think you are right. We are outposting them now

Bernie Sanders A group for supporters of Bernie Sanders. 25,756

Hillary Clinton Discuss the life, career, and accomplishments of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. 34,046

17. that's surprising. You wouldn't know it from the avalanche of primary loss rage in GDP

[shenmue]

7. Yeah

[IamMab]

9. DU has other forums and groups to try. One would need to be a masochist to try GDP any more.

If Skinner and the other Admins won't run the Gamer-Gaters For Bernie out, then I'm not inclined to try to do their jobs for them.

The way the owners here abandoned their responsibilities when it comes to moderating is not something I'll be forgetting when my annual donation comes up for review, that's for sure.

[realmirage]

10. I have to agree there's some truth to what you say

I think the admins have let it go on too long. The BS ugliness has infested good reads, video, and a bunch of other forums. It's almost to the point there's no forum to enjoy. Honestly I've considered not coming here, since it's become an unhealthy place.

[IamMab]

11. I was going through the Netflix/Streaming forum and found a Bernie thread in there too.

I don't know Skinner, and I'm relatively new here, as you can see. But this isn't my first online community, nor am I unfamiliar with Terms of Service and basic comment moderation.

Whoever is in charge of this site right now is blowing it. Big time.

ETA: And the irony is, this comment of mine is more likely to get hidden than any of the hatefulness coming out of GDP.

[realmirage]

16. you have to be a real basement dwellar to post that shit in the netflix forum

who is that worked up and confused about their own party?

[savalez]

25. To think, this is the last sentence in the TOS.

DU is supposed to be fun — don't make it suck.

[realmirage]

28. Fun?

Shit no. It's a bit more pleasant after trashing gdp though

[UtahLib]

12. They're losing it in more ways th a n one. eom

[realmirage]

14. it's all a conspiracy

[Koinos]

13. Bernie's funding is in decline.

Revolution Messaging will be paying fewer "disrupters" from now on.

[realmirage]

15. if you went by the posts in GDP, you'd think he was about to win the white house

[sarae]

22. haha

So true! If I didn't know the state of the race, I'd think he was winning in a landslide after reading GDP. LOL

[realmirage]

24. It's a crazy scene

bizarro world

[DesertFlower]

20. exactly. nt

[Henhouse]

21. I just trashed GD-P...The air already smells fresher....n/t

[realmirage]

23. It's a relief

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. I decided to do trash gdp and the video forum too

[realmirage]

27. Feel the stress drop away
