1. Maybe found a life away from political discussion boards?

I need to find something else even if it is to become a drunk in an alley or many drug addict. Either would be an improvement in quality of life to being here.

[In_The_Wind]

4. Try

bird watching. It's far more gratifying and you meet a better type of escapist. [img][/img]

[merrily]

30. Oh, like she can't bird watch at DU? As if!

[merrily]

31. I looked into the drunk in an alley thing, but booze gives me a headache.

I don't mean the morning after. I mean it starts before I finish one glass of wine--nature's way of sparing me from alcoholism, perhaps.

[immoderate]

2. Dunno. I miss BMUS.

--imm

[merrily]

32. I do as well. Smart and fun.

[passiveporcupine]

33. I miss her too.

She is taking a break. Maybe till the primary is over...maybe longer. Maybe permanent? I hope not.

[merrily]

34. woo me with science got flagged for review and never returned. I still miss her!

Another smart DUer who made substantive posts.

[tk2kewl]

3. sick of having to refute republican talking points on a "progressive" board?

[JudyM]

21. That is the heart of it for so many of us, right?!

[merrily]

28. Could be.

Yeayyyy, Bush Crime Family!

Er, mean, yeayyyyy Bush dynasty! Jeb! 2024!

[sarge43]

5. I sent her an email

She never answered. Probably fed up with the crap. Too bad, I looked forward to her posts.

[merrily]

25. I enjoyed her posts as well.

[Buddyblazon]

6. We've got DUers praising W...

This place is unrecognizable. I saw an AA DUer this morning making up reasons why Hillary loving on W was a good thing.

Can't write this shit. I've never seen anything like that ever on DU. Never.

Crazy thing is he had a dozen other jackasses agreeing with his W stances.

Shits so pathetic it's funny.

[-none]

7. Wait till Monday, if you think that is bad.

[Buddyblazon]

8. What happens Monday?

Will Hill, Bill, W, and H.W. come together to form one giant Neo-con/lib monster robot and eat the middle class? Because I'd get some popcorn if I wasn't so thoroughly middle class.

Maybe they'll give us cake before laying waste to us.

[-none]

9. This.

You will need to post carefully, if you are not a Hillary Supporter.

10. Fortunately...

I have no cares to give.

Been here 12 years. They wanna tombstone me? At this point I won't protest. This place has sold out.

[Duckhunter935]

27. Yep, been here a long time too and

Been a stat member. Very disappointed in Skinner and his picking side during the primary. Interesting the number of new members and the timing of the amnesty

[HubertHeaver]

16. Who's Will?

The other miscreants I am familiar with. But who the heck is Will?

[Pastiche423]

17. Slick Willy?

[HubertHeaver]

18. Yeah, it fits.

[passiveporcupine]

35. Will wasn't a name.

[HubertHeaver]

38. There is a speck on my screen that I thought was a comma.

As long as the sentence and the speck line up, my question made sense.

I did clean the screen so that speck won't get me again.

[passiveporcupine]

39. OK

[merrily]

36. That is exactly what I see happening. I've posted about it a couple of times.

Here ya go. Enjoy.

[Left Coast2020]

46. And then this place will be called Authoritian Underground

The Chinese do it quite well on websites and elsewhere.

[Else You Are Mad]

11. The sad thing is come Monday...

We can praise GWB or GHWB but not Bernie Sanders.

[Jennylynn]

12. That's effed up, man. nt

[Else You Are Mad]

13. Seriously effed up. nt

[merrily]

24. I think we can still praise Bernie. We can't criticize or undermine Hillary though,

unless it's to help her win. Offhand, I can't think of any criticism on a message board that helps someone win a Presidential election, but maybe something will occur to me.

[Else You Are Mad]

43. We can still praise him...

But, I am sure that those posts will be alerted within minutes of it being posted. I could be wrong, but judging from the atmosphere around here in the last week, it wouldn't surprise me.

[Nay]

29. Oh, shit, thank God I missed that. Hillary loving on W is a good thing? That

attitude makes me heave.

[Left Coast2020]

45. You think that's bizarre..

I have an AA neighbor who I recently discovered is planning to vote for Chump. Saw me with my Bernie T-shirt at the mailbox. Say's he can't stand either, or O'Bummer for that fact. But thinks Chump is the savior for the country. From an African-American?

Go figure.

[blackspade]

53. Tell me about it.

I unleashed this shitstorm in GDP:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512197152

Apparently, it's about comity or some shit....

[GP6971]

14. Look like their last post was April 18

they have 9 hides 4 of which were on April 17 & 18. I hope they're just taking a break.

[appalachiablue]

15. What a loss, hope BMS reappears before too long.

[Arazi]

19. She's at JPR

New username that she's not advertising since she became such a target here. I don't think she's coming back to DU ever folks. I heard that from one of the admins there who knows BMUS

[merrily]

23. Thanks.

[magical thyme]

47. she's on JPR, but hasn't posted there in a while either

hope all is well with her!

Wish WooMeWithScience would come to JPR. Miss her voice!

[Arazi]

56. Oh no! FWIW, there's some other excellent Bernie supporting sites out there

She may have found a new internet home on one of those

[senz]

20. It's been "active" since at least April 20. And it's spelled "Scottie."

She is a she and had a jpr name but I haven't seen her around there, either. I tried PMing her there about six weeks ago, but no reply.

I miss her terribly; she was the first person to make me feel welcome here. I also have a theory about why she's not back but can't post it.

[merrily]

22. Thank you, senz.

I miss her, too. She is so smart and she is so organized that she could pull up links for anything whenever she wanted.

[Duckhunter935]

26. Miss her

Might not know the FFR was lifted

[merrily]

37. Maybe.

[arikara]

40. Maybe she just doesn't want to come back anymore

I'll be finished with this place too come Monday. I can't abide her nibs and am not going to hang around a message board to worship her no matter how many years I have invested here. JPR is way more interesting and once they have the new format up and running it'll be 100X better than this forlorn place.

[slipslidingaway]

41. Totally agree, ready to move on ...

other than the cancer forum there is no need to stay here and have news be silenced.

Living in a one sided world could very well make one delusional, we'll all get there soon enough, no need to rush.

[2banon]

42. I can tell ya, I'm looking forward to the new format!. n/t

[Duckhunter935]

44. I think I too will sign up over there

[merrily]

51. Thank you.

[kdmorris]

55. She knows... n/t

[EvolveOrConvolve]

48. I can confirm that BMUS is alive and well

I see her around places that are more friendly to liberals. Can't/won't say more.

[Live and Learn]

49. Well let her know we all love her even if we don't recognize her anymore. nt

[merrily]

50. Thank you. Good to know! Please give her our best.

[Duval]

52. Good!

And thanks!

[senz]

57. Please tell her I miss her and hope she's enjoying every second of life.

I like to think of her riding her horses, playing with her cats and dogs, and happy at home with the man who loves her.

She's special.

[blackspade]

54. She was awesome here.

DUs loss...like some many others past and future.

[merrily]

58. I enjoyed her posts. They contained actual facts and links. I used to try to

post that way, but I stopped after I realized facts were irrelevant.

[mr blur]

59. Perhaps she prefers to be somewhere a bit less toxic.

I'm not really involved because I don't live in the US but it's got pretty rough and unreasonable round here if you don't toe what seems to be the Party line when it comes to your election.

[merrily]

60. Based solely on other posts on this thread, that indeed seems to be the case.
