Unfortunately his colleagues remain behind on DU posting RW links/memes, trying to divide Democrats,
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6347875

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Enough is enough.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 11, 2015, 10:12 AM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Enough is enough isn't an argument for a hide. I'm not in agreement with the poster and think paranoia strikes deep to the point that disagreement and differences are enmity in their eyes but there is nothing personal in the post and no rationale of note from the alerter.
TheKentuckian

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT

Can someone tell me the saga of the poster known as "Better Believe It" [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 OP

Long time troll, stayed on the fence as much as possible, but finally went too far. randome Mar 2015 #1

I wonder how I missed that./NT DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #2

I lose track of time. Was it 2 years ago? 3? Maybe you were on hiatus from DU then? randome Mar 2015 #3

As you can see I have a ton of posts but they come in bunches DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #6

Looks like some of the colleagues got upset. Thin-skinned lot, eh? nt msanthrope Mar 2015 #17

Jury decisions never surprise me any more pintobean Mar 2015 #22

Note the alerter used the same message that Skinner used to shitcan msanthrope Mar 2015 #29

Yeah, that is weird. /nt pintobean Mar 2015 #31

Here are the jury results marym625 Mar 2015 #26

That alerter openly mocked Skinner.....that alert message is exactly msanthrope Mar 2015 #27

I don't know marym625 Mar 2015 #33

That is a reality. pintobean Mar 2015 #43

I don't know if that was meant to mock. marym625 Mar 2015 #35

Mocked... or *was*... Agschmid Mar 2015 #39

Yeah, I didn't want to say it. Some folks are clearly looking for a reason to alert... stevenleser Mar 2015 #45

Yes, admins should look into that alerter. nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #40

That's kind of creepy, stevenleser. Comrade Grumpy Mar 2015 #104

I do not think that word means what you think it means. stevenleser Mar 2015 #117

Alerts and jury decisions are anonymous to us, but not to them. Warren DeMontague Mar 2015 #132

LOL! Rex Mar 2015 #148

Wonder if the alerter knows Skinner/admin one_voice Mar 2015 #53

Definitely a troll alert. joshcryer Mar 2015 #118

the "hide" on the post is as stupid as it gets lately Sheepshank Mar 2015 #41

Exactly. That post was not even close to personal attack. But obviously some hit dogs hollered Number23 Mar 2015 #153

The Protectorate!!! Oh God, the PROTECTORATE!!!! Number23 Mar 2015 #150

Interesting. So posting something from Matt Rothschild and the Progressive makes you a RW troll?? RufusTFirefly Mar 2015 #94

No, posting something from The Weekly Standard, Avik Roy and Tim Carney make you a RW troll... SidDithers Mar 2015 #113

And to add to the other reply to you, completely mischaracterizing what the President said in order stevenleser Mar 2015 #123

Haha. And a flack is just a troll with a pay stub. n/t RufusTFirefly Mar 2015 #124

Could be. nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #126

Seriously? So that so-called "true progressive" self-righteous pisswipe Arkana Mar 2015 #5

Purity troll who would cite The Weekly Standard to geek tragedy Mar 2015 #7

My "favorite" was Seventh Son who said the CIA gave Jamaican men man boobs. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #10

YES! He was my favorite too! ellie Mar 2015 #54

well. I sure missed the festivities! BlancheSplanchnik Mar 2015 #168

He flamed out four years before you arrived./NT DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #173

I was on earlier... BlancheSplanchnik Mar 2015 #174

Talk about a dead giveaway. mmonk Mar 2015 #21

We still have quiet a few right wing trolls here IMO madokie Mar 2015 #9

He was a ratfucking troll(s) who posted more and more far out pieces msanthrope Mar 2015 #11

I think I remember him DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #14

Here is Skinner, in prime form.....but the whole thread, msanthrope Mar 2015 #15

A glance at who rec'ed that piece is... interesting. nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #23

Yeah. Because I'm against wars without end for profits without cease. Octafish Mar 2015 #32

No, you rec'ed a crazy attack on the President that even had Skinner, who stays out of stevenleser Mar 2015 #36

What's crazy is supporting wars without end for profits without cease. Octafish Mar 2015 #48

All the good intentions in the world are no reason to recommend a crazy and dishonest OP. stevenleser Mar 2015 #49

Doubling down to you? Octafish Mar 2015 #57

Nope, this is a forum. Everyone can see it. It's not a private discussion between you and I. stevenleser Mar 2015 #61

Which is what makes it interesting. Octafish Mar 2015 #69

Do my contentions stand up against yours? Well I don't quote antisemites for backup stevenleser Mar 2015 #176

You've mischaracterized Skinner's comment. Jim Lane Mar 2015 #109

No, I may not have worded it elegantly, but the point is Skinner said it didnt say what BBI said it stevenleser Mar 2015 #115

He pointed out willful distortion on the OP's part BainsBane Mar 2015 #125

I don't agree with that interpretation Jim Lane Mar 2015 #181

Check out the jury hide abovethread....the alerter used the same msanthrope Mar 2015 #38

I don't think the chance that is coincidence is very high. Admins should look into that alert. stevenleser Mar 2015 #42

Before I clicked on the list of reccers, I made a mental list of who is likely to be named there Sheepshank Mar 2015 #50

Yep. It begins to explain a lot, doesn't it? nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #79

explanation only in part...mostly a confirmation n/t Sheepshank Mar 2015 #103

A belief that people here only rec OPs that they agree with is......interesting. djean111 Mar 2015 #55

Except I didn't make that contention, did I? nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #60

No you made your contention to denigrate those who supported the OP. Octafish Mar 2015 #67

Nope, I made no such comment. You find it embarrassing because it is, not because of what I wrote.nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #76

I do the same thing Mojorabbit Mar 2015 #111

I do that, as well. Blue_In_AK Mar 2015 #136

Ooooh, now you are on some LISTS! Or in a slam book. Or something. djean111 Mar 2015 #139

Probably. Blue_In_AK Mar 2015 #141

I'll vouch for Octafish, a very informed poster here. mmonk Mar 2015 #99

I guess I didn't see that one --an epic post-- and nice work by you msanthrope. panader0 Mar 2015 #167

I thank you for the compliment. ...that thread was fun. nt msanthrope Mar 2015 #182

Too bad getting shitcanned for right-wing trollery only seems to happen in GD / LBN Scootaloo Mar 2015 #128

No--and I'd mock anybody who cited Tucker Carlson's rag into the ground. nt msanthrope Mar 2015 #137

Read also for the simpletons having the time of their lives yukking it up in that thread Number23 Mar 2015 #156

And the recs.....and what a bullshit hide above us. I miss Rowdyboy. nt msanthrope Mar 2015 #163

There's one I'd like to get noticed on daredtowork Mar 2015 #179

There's a clique here that actually attempts to paint DUers ChisolmTrailDem Mar 2015 #16

Actually...if you run my username against some well-known banned trolls, msanthrope Mar 2015 #18

Or SDuderstadt. Octafish Mar 2015 #34

I don't see Msanthrope in that thread at all BainsBane Mar 2015 #37

No, but msanthrope's chums SidDithers and zappaman found much in common with SDuderstadt. Octafish Mar 2015 #44

By all means, provide links. This should be good. stevenleser Mar 2015 #47

Post removed Post removed Mar 2015 #62

Just as I expected, first one off the bat doesnt say what you imply it says. stevenleser Mar 2015 #66

Seeing how you asked for examples... Octafish Mar 2015 #72

Its a forum. Anyone can respond to you on any comment. That doesnt make it tag team. nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #73

Right. Like pointing out who recced a post by a DUer. Octafish Mar 2015 #74

Hey, I know you are embarrassed by your rec and you should be. That's not my fault. nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #78

Where am I embarrassed? Your imagination? Octafish Mar 2015 #88

Christopher Bollyn is another anti-Semite... SidDithers Mar 2015 #129

Oh dear ZOG. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #131

Yup... SidDithers Mar 2015 #183

Another one? zappaman Mar 2015 #134

What I "wonder" is how someone ends up quoting and rec'ing so many trolls and antisemites stevenleser Mar 2015 #175

my chemtrails are lacking the radiation my garden will need snooper2 Mar 2015 #81

snooper2! The poster who got me to go to Duquesne! Octafish Mar 2015 #84

no prob...what I'm here for snooper2 Mar 2015 #87

No kidding. Octafish Mar 2015 #90

And in the second and third links, it also doesnt indicate what you imply. stevenleser Mar 2015 #75

Like I'm going to post their PMs, stevenleser? Octafish Mar 2015 #83

PMs from one to you means nothing. And finally your fourth link above, which I have to stevenleser Mar 2015 #120

I have never sent him a PM. zappaman Mar 2015 #121

He seems to believe any disagreement with him constitutes a right wing conspiracy. stevenleser Mar 2015 #122

You want me to go back through posts from years ago BainsBane Mar 2015 #51

How exactly do Sid and zappaman work to "advance the right wing POV on DU"? NuclearDem Mar 2015 #56

Denigrating those who point out the right wing POV. Octafish Mar 2015 #58

Again, not liking your OPs doesn't count. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #59

You're a bright person, you figure it out. Octafish Mar 2015 #64

Yeah, you're not the arbiter of what's right wing or not around here. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #68

Never said I was. Octafish Mar 2015 #71

Given the amount of times you've accused others of, what was it... NuclearDem Mar 2015 #89

Show where I post ''hypothetically, mocking laughable conspiracy theory bullshit'' Octafish Mar 2015 #92

Wait, you're being serious? NuclearDem Mar 2015 #96

So, you can't show where I'm wrong. Octafish Mar 2015 #100

Yeah, why would the Rothschilds have problems with conspiracy theories? NuclearDem Mar 2015 #102

Yes, you have implied it constantly. Disagreeing with you=pro right wing. You've implied that again stevenleser Mar 2015 #119

Pro-right wing, pro-TEPCO, pro-national security state, pro-MIC. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #184

And in your world, that includes them denigrating BBI who it turns out was a right wing troll? nt stevenleser Mar 2015 #63

Does that make sense to you? Octafish Mar 2015 #65

Says the guy who called a banned anti-Semitic troll a "great DUer". zappaman Mar 2015 #98

Octa....I never claimed to be as good as Sid and Zappa....but they were correct. nt msanthrope Mar 2015 #105

Oh, man, I had forgotten all about that guy. Blue_In_AK Mar 2015 #140

Actually, it seems to come up in response to a whole lot of people who are in good standing. Marr Mar 2015 #70

Purists and right wingers are mutually exclusive as used on this board. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #19

In this context, what's a "Purist" ? 2banon Mar 2015 #85

True believer./NT DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #93

Ok. so it's not intended as a sneer, put down, otherwise perjoratively? 2banon Mar 2015 #101

No./NT DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #108

Ok. Taking your word with regard to intentions .. 2banon Mar 2015 #114

I'm lost again. Jamastiene Mar 2015 #166

That's your interpretation and spin. Another interpretation, which has more evidence, is to stevenleser Mar 2015 #25

So, that I have seen numerous examples of DUers being tagged with ChisolmTrailDem Mar 2015 #28

It has everything to do with what you said as I am sure most who read it and your comments will note stevenleser Mar 2015 #30

There have been many trolls on this site who took on an opposite persona, too. Marr Mar 2015 #82

I have to say BainsBane Mar 2015 #135

I have no problem with comparing recs. That's part of the transparency of DU. stevenleser Mar 2015 #142

I doubt that either variety of troll employs more dishonest attacks or spurious arguments than the Marr Mar 2015 #165

The difference is that kind of troll is here to promote the GOP BainsBane Mar 2015 #170

They're after the same things, no matter what persona they wear. Marr Mar 2015 #171

I think the BBI variety is more insidious BainsBane Mar 2015 #172

I think it's an appropiate joke. RiffRandell Mar 2015 #149

So that'ts what that phrase is about. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #97

BBI was someone with way too much support here for far too long. NCTraveler Mar 2015 #95

I thought BBI was actually Glenn Greewald. JaneyVee Mar 2015 #106

BBI was also a big fan of the Chinese government muriel_volestrangler Mar 2015 #107

Oh man, I'd forgotten about that... SidDithers Mar 2015 #133

OMG BainsBane Mar 2015 #143

LOL -- BBI Hekate Mar 2015 #110

Is this the same troll who was actually a moderator at one point? GusBob Mar 2015 #112

Still can be. pintobean Mar 2015 #162

I can understand how someone would think that. Blue_In_AK Mar 2015 #164

Very interesting replies, thanks for this OP. Rex Mar 2015 #151

Used to get hundreds of recs for constant anti-Dem, especially anti-Obama tirades. Sound familiar? Tarheel_Dem Mar 2015 #152
