If you don't have that fucking annoying flyswatter animated gif in your sigline you can disregard this message.

1. Can someone explain this to me?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. I'm pretty sure that's the point.

My suggestion - just put anyone with siglines you find annoying on ignore.

[Purveyor]

3. Or just turn off the display of all sig lines under the "My

Account" settings...

[corkhead]

8. I didn't know you could do that. I don't mind most of them but this one is especially bothersome.

I am not referring to the poo fight behind it. It has to do with the blinkyness of it.

I have Adblock on my browser and Flash turned off by default for the same reason.

Thanks for the tip.

4. Why was the fly thing started?

I think the swat thing was because of it.

9. Loonix being banned for circulating a pledge to not vote for Clinton if she's the nominee.

[JaneyVee]

12. That really happened?

Is there a link? Sorry if I'm asking for too much.

14. Here you go.

Not DU's finest hour to be celebrating the banning of a long time DUer, but since L0onix was in the Bernie camp, I've no doubt it will be glee inducing for some.

[randys1]

28. So the finest hour would be celebrating the idea of not supporting the party if you dont get your

way?

I dont know who got Loonix banned, but I know why.

[upaloopa]

15. I was last week in the evening

I told some folks about it and I think Earl G put an end to it
It was about the Bernie or Bust thing

[Hekate]

25. It really happened. It was the flagrant violation of TOS that did it....

Then all of a sudden, there was a big long L0onix support thread, and next thing you know the L0onix supporters were sporting those flies.

You know how it is. Flies breed like mad.

But for some reason his supporters are now mad that someone brought a flyswatter to the picnic.

[VanillaRhapsody]

16. Then it was justified...

Standing by it only means you support that position too if you ask me....We really should be putting them all on ignore.....every one of them. Imagi e if we Democrats banished the Anti-Democratic support by putting them all on ignore...every one with cockroaches....(and we should thank them all for self identifying really!.) If we ALL ignore the cockroach bearing posters...then not only have we fumigated our screens.... they are relegated to thier own little anti-Democratic roach motel echo chamber!

[JaneyVee]

20. What's with the cockroaches?

I use a phone to DU, so I don't see any sig lines or avatars.

[VanillaRhapsody]

21. Oh they are putting

The Loonix cockroach in thier sigline in support of Loonix who got tombstoned...

[randys1]

29. I find it interesting that so so so many are paying tribute to the poster who said DONT vote

for the Dem party if you dont get your way.

No, not interesting, i find it fucking amazing.

[Aerows]

13. Gloating that a Bernie Supporter was banned. n/t

[cwydro]

5. I pay none of this silly bug nonsense any attention.

Turn off sig lines if it bothers you.

Trust me, they'll disappear soon enough.

[KittyWampus]

6. As are all the Sanders supporters using the cockroach scurrying around gif.

Both equally annoying.

[Sinistrous]

7. If you have adblock,

right click on the gif, select adblock, and add the gif to Filter Preferences.

[corkhead]

10. I do, thanks for the tip!

11. #DesktopPeopleProblems

[NurseJackie]

22. (Snort!) LOL!

[cosmicone]

17. Obit thread No. 7 about the stupid fly and lament it has caused.

Yes, I'm counting.

[senz]

18. Your attention to detail is astonishing.

You know what's important.

[NurseJackie]

19. My husband configured my Firefox browser for me so that animated images don't show up.

I couldn't tell you how to do it, but he found it by googling.

[MohRokTah]

23. Oh well

[Hepburn]

24. Anyone with a flyswatter gif in his/her sig line, I have put them on ignore

The celebrating of the banning of a long time poster sickens me.

[Hekate]

27. Poor things. It's not grave dancing when all his pals copy his fly and others decide...

....to bring out the flyswatters. As for all the grief and handwringing, the ban was done by an Admin for violating the TOS in a flagrant manner. Don't do that and you won't get banned by the Admins. Take it up with them.

[Bluenorthwest]

26. I've had sig lines switched off for years.

[Capt. Obvious]

30. You can Adblock it

[NCTraveler]

31. The fly in general is annoying.

It was unique when it was just one person.

[Paka]

32. I use it as a handy gauge to spot posts...

...that I zip through at rapid speed. Saves me from reading a lot of unpleasant vitriol. Even though I don't have one, I think the LOonix flies are kinda cute.
