People do not use discussion boards Codeine Nov 2014 #6

Not true MaggieD Nov 2014 #9

It doesn't help, it doesn't hinder. Codeine Nov 2014 #14

That's like a Dem pol running then knocking doors for a repub MaggieD Nov 2014 #24

Social media =/= discussion boards. nt Codeine Nov 2014 #30

Again your opinion MaggieD Nov 2014 #41

People under 30 aren't so fucking stupid Codeine Nov 2014 #46

Your opinion not supported by evidence MaggieD Nov 2014 #49

The mountain of facts you've provided Codeine Nov 2014 #53

I'm not going to play go fetch MaggieD Nov 2014 #57

Again, social media isn't message boards. nt Codeine Nov 2014 #59

Then why does the dem party pay people MaggieD Nov 2014 #60

The DU owners are looking to cash out/up. Therefore Discussionist. nt onehandle Nov 2014 #11

Doesn't negate the bad impact MaggieD Nov 2014 #17

There is a lot in this world I don't like upaloopa Nov 2014 #36

Sure, but the GOP is set on disminishing it MaggieD Nov 2014 #39

Yep that sucks big time. upaloopa Nov 2014 #45

If promoting Democratic victories was the goal, they'd shut down DU mathematic Nov 2014 #16

So the TOS here are just BS? MaggieD Nov 2014 #20

it's worse on DU because DU is supposed to be for those who support Democrats JI7 Nov 2014 #22

DiscussionIST MaggieD Nov 2014 #26

I know, just making a point that it's really not a popular place or one that you need to go to... nt devils chaplain Nov 2014 #28

Every little bit hurts MaggieD Nov 2014 #33

i tend to agree GusBob Nov 2014 #25

Well it's a tell - your only purpose here is to be monetized MaggieD Nov 2014 #29

I have quite a few posts on Discussionist, over two thousand and I've had one hide Fumesucker Nov 2014 #27

If you only have one hide.... MaggieD Nov 2014 #31

How many posts do you have on Discussionist? Fumesucker Nov 2014 #34

Thousands and lots of emails MaggieD Nov 2014 #37

You've been registred on DU since 2001 and have under 300 posts Fumesucker Nov 2014 #42

That's because my post count got zero'ed out MaggieD Nov 2014 #44

How does one have their post count zeroed out? nt Codeine Nov 2014 #47

Ask Skinner. I'm sure he will explain MaggieD Nov 2014 #51

I asked you. You made the claim. Codeine Nov 2014 #55

Ask him MaggieD Nov 2014 #62

I've been here quite a long-ass time myself. Codeine Nov 2014 #67

Not long enough apparently MaggieD Nov 2014 #68

Because we shouldn't live in a bubble - communicating with others not like us isn't a bad thing The Straight Story Nov 2014 #40

You apparently haven't been to Discussionist MaggieD Nov 2014 #43

He's one of the most prolific posters on Discussionist Fumesucker Nov 2014 #50

If he is, he doesn't challenge the right wing BS there MaggieD Nov 2014 #52

"Wussy liberals"? Fumesucker Nov 2014 #56

I'll take my chances MaggieD Nov 2014 #58

Graham4AnythingHC45 drives them nuts and he's still there Fumesucker Nov 2014 #65

Yeah, they like to make fun of him MaggieD Nov 2014 #69

They make fun of everyone they disagree with Fumesucker Nov 2014 #74

No they don't ... They jury swarm MaggieD Nov 2014 #81

They try to mock me but I'm better at it than they are.. Fumesucker Nov 2014 #85

You're not exactly a Dem defender MaggieD Nov 2014 #88

Stop trolling. Codeine Nov 2014 #91

Oh quit with the trolling nonsense MaggieD Nov 2014 #93

I'm against conservatives whatever the letter by their name might be Fumesucker Nov 2014 #96

Don't rationalize it MaggieD Nov 2014 #98

I'm not an expert on everything, no one is Fumesucker Nov 2014 #102

You know why? MaggieD Nov 2014 #103

Yeah. Uh, I have over 4500 posts there The Straight Story Nov 2014 #61

So you're more of a moderate or conservative dem MaggieD Nov 2014 #63

Ah, so that's how it is. I see. The Straight Story Nov 2014 #71

You NEVER confront them MaggieD Nov 2014 #73

If by "confront" you mean "call names" then yeah, you're right I don't do that either Fumesucker Nov 2014 #82

Oh please - that's baloney MaggieD Nov 2014 #84

Just because your techniqe doesn't work doesn't mean everone else is so inept. Fumesucker Nov 2014 #87

You're not a dem defender MaggieD Nov 2014 #90

I defend good policy and attack bad policy Fumesucker Nov 2014 #100

No you don't MaggieD Nov 2014 #105

I rarely (read; never) agree with The Straight Story, Codeine Nov 2014 #75

Well read him on freepervile junior MaggieD Nov 2014 #77

I don't waste my time there. Codeine Nov 2014 #79

So why are you defending it? MaggieD Nov 2014 #86

I'm not defending it. I'm saying it doesn't matter. Codeine Nov 2014 #89

Okay, so Democrats are stupid to pay people MaggieD Nov 2014 #92

I'd say whatever limited pittance was used for such activity Codeine Nov 2014 #95

Hey, but you can PAY to hide right wing ads here MaggieD Nov 2014 #99

I'm not that far out of that age group. I'm married to someone solidly in that age group. Codeine Nov 2014 #101

You should boycott that site and any site associated with the owner. egduj Nov 2014 #48

Looks like a legitimate topic for General Discussion to me. nt ChisolmTrailDem Nov 2014 #54

You don't have to go to Discussionist if you don't like it. Cleita Nov 2014 #64

Doesn't matter if you or I go there MaggieD Nov 2014 #66

I think it's a good thing because we should know how the other side thinks. Cleita Nov 2014 #70

You can know how the other side thinks... MaggieD Nov 2014 #76

There is an Ask the Administrators forum if you really feel this hot about it. Cleita Nov 2014 #78

Cleita at Freeperville. Codeine Nov 2014 #80

They want to make money MaggieD Nov 2014 #83

A dem making money off of conservatives. I don't have a problem with that :) (nt) The Straight Story Nov 2014 #94
