106. Did you check the "twitter" account?

Dec 2011

I was a little disturbed by some of the comments here, until I saw that. He's very much behaving as an 18 year old and obviously not ready to be given such an important job as mayor.

On the other hand, I hope that he continues with his interest in politics. I'm sure he'll mature, as we all do, and look back on this as a horrible mistake in his potential political career. Whether he does or not, this will follow him forever.

I wasn't around when he was apparently spamming DU at 14, so I won't judge him on that. There's a fairly large consensus here that he was annoying. At 14, so was I, but I didn't have the internet to advertise that fact.

My advice to the young Asher, take the Twitter account down and make a public apology. Admit that you were acting on inexperience and made a very, very poor attempt at humor. You'll at least have that as a footnote if you choose to persue this as a career.

Thank you for posting another post about.... you. dems_rightnow Dec 2011 #2

Really? AsherWI Dec 2011 #3

It's not about youth being involved. It's about you spamming the board Heddi Dec 2011 #13

That is a rather manipulative way of answering and it could not be more obvious TheEuclideanOne Dec 2011 #80

Thank you AsherWI Dec 2011 #6

good luck... PatrynXX Dec 2011 #70

With all due respect, I suspect you do not know the DU history of this case. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #73

You believe that reposting a hidden thread isn't 'spamming'? Srsly? Edweird Dec 2011 #5

I don't understand... AsherWI Dec 2011 #7

Nothing wrong with it, as I see it. elleng Dec 2011 #8

Seconded. Welcome back Ishoutandscream2 Dec 2011 #92

Posting the same thing over and over is spamming. Edweird Dec 2011 #9

Come on... AsherWI Dec 2011 #10

No, we are against spamming Heddi Dec 2011 #11

Confidentiality agreements notwithstanding... Cooley Hurd Dec 2011 #15

that's not confidential. that's public knowledge Heddi Dec 2011 #20

What does that have to do with broken confidentiality agreements? Cooley Hurd Dec 2011 #27

I don't know. You're the one who brought it up Heddi Dec 2011 #64

Well, you're an authority, aren't you? Cooley Hurd Dec 2011 #129

Spare me. I remember you. Edweird Dec 2011 #16

imo, you do yourself no favors distorting the discussion in that way fishwax Dec 2011 #39

Spamming does not have to be about trying to sell something. It is about tblue37 Dec 2011 #69

Why would a post like that get hidden? Webster Green Dec 2011 #12

See post #13 above... he has a history here. nt Lisa0825 Dec 2011 #14

So? MedicalAdmin Dec 2011 #83

Because he was so "memorable", I have googled him from time to time. Lisa0825 Dec 2011 #89

And if he pulls the same shut here again... MedicalAdmin Dec 2011 #108

an opening line like "This got deleted, so I'm posting it again" doesn't suggest learning from fishwax Dec 2011 #111

I think we are in agreement on that. MedicalAdmin Dec 2011 #119

He'll be out of here when he realizes no one is taking him seriously. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #122

He shouldn't be taken seriously as a candidate and he is making a further mockery of his city. PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #120

There is irony in your nick as 'Ash' was the nick of an infamous FReeper spammer and disruptor Ferret Annica Dec 2011 #19

Didn't you spam DU with an article where you claimed Rove was going to be indicted in 48 hours? RB TexLa Dec 2011 #21

...48 business hours. Ellipsis Dec 2011 #22

No, that was Jason Leopold. Asher was the "conference call" and "press release" guy. PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #23

Wasn't Aldo Leopold.. Ellipsis Dec 2011 #24

There are a couple homophobic jabs in there, too. Terrible. PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #32

Asher- your twitter account does not indicate that you are a positive person. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #44

at the very least an immature person... ProdigalJunkMail Dec 2011 #46

Did you look at the Twitter account he is using to gain fame? PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #52

Capn, dear old friend- PeaceNikki is right, you need to read the twitter. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #54

couldn't agree more... ProdigalJunkMail Dec 2011 #55

You really support and encourage this? etherealtruth Dec 2011 #56

I am CERTAIN Capn had not read the twitter at the time of his post. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #58

How's charm school going, kid? Also, when exactly did you add "fake" and "parody" to that Twitter PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #60

Care to elaborate Asher, on just what you are implying? BeHereNow Dec 2011 #63

I will take your word for it (seriously) etherealtruth Dec 2011 #65

I am SURE that was what the Capn thought, and thus his defense of the individual. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #67
