114. It's non-stop rank hypocrisy from that tiny clique of posters who routinely make DU suck.

Apr 2013

If you remember, it was the two posters above who are such bosom buddies that were major players in that Meta thread started by another one of their pals calling on each and every one of my posts to be alert-stalked regarding my sig line - a sig line that STILL stands, I might note, after going up against a verified 87 singular alerts, with close to two hundred related alerts made on individual posts of mine where the alert message whined about same sig line.

Now, that's an attempt to silence and alert-stalk a DU poster, my friend - and those two posters above were hip-deep in the middle of that effort. Now they whine in ATA about attempts to call out hypocrisy. It's the height of irony.
