from time to time they post snippets. The fantasy writing is kind of entertaining but they are far from harmless. They have files on many people here.

I agree. Discussionist anyone? Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #1

It is the logical first place to start, as fucking with DUers is apparently a pastime there. arcane1 Sep 2015 #38

The thing is, how would the dumbasses on Discussionist Art_from_Ark Sep 2015 #61

From what I've read, this person apparently exposed their real name and location in some posts arcane1 Sep 2015 #65

Yeah, that would do it. Bubzer Sep 2015 #71

Well, there's a lesson there Android3.14 Sep 2015 #262

I agree. I was talking about the "how" not blaming anyone. arcane1 Sep 2015 #516

There are 20 ways to Sunday you might have exposed who you are nadinbrzezinski Sep 2015 #493

Of course not. The only blame goes to the person who wrote the letters. arcane1 Sep 2015 #517

My guess would be it would have to be somone who knows Bravenak's real name.... Bubzer Sep 2015 #70

BINGO!!!! nadinbrzezinski Sep 2015 #74

Exactly right! Bubzer Sep 2015 #109

Yep. And one specific organized board. That Bravenak was targeted sickens me. I hope she is ok. Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #4

what happened with Bravenak? I hadn't heard...did she get threats? CTyankee Sep 2015 #101

Yes sarge43 Sep 2015 #330

Nope. OilemFirchen Sep 2015 #34

No, there's lots more evidence. jeff47 Sep 2015 #137

I went round-and-round with this guy earlier Android3.14 Sep 2015 #273

Why do we assume that logic is logical? MannyGoldstein Sep 2015 #277

That's not an assumption about the letter. OilemFirchen Sep 2015 #322

So your evidence is what someone says in a letter. Rex Sep 2015 #313

That's known information? MannyGoldstein Sep 2015 #24

Occam's Razor isn't what people think it is. It increases in accuracy the more information you have. CJCRANE Sep 2015 #99

And what information is there that someone other than a DU Bernie supporter sent the letter? boston bean Sep 2015 #108

History. jeff47 Sep 2015 #183

That is not in evidence. The email sounds just like responses I've heard here from actual Bernie boston bean Sep 2015 #192

When the letter reads like posts I've read here on DU, and they talk about alert stalking her, I do boston bean Sep 2015 #218

Because it's utterly impossible to write similar things as a non-DUer? jeff47 Sep 2015 #220

And this OP here is a response to that locked thread. boston bean Sep 2015 #136

Did your post say it's probable that a DU member sent the letters? MannyGoldstein Sep 2015 #147

Let's not beat around the bush here, this is exactly what I said: boston bean Sep 2015 #156

So you used inductive reasoning to make the case MannyGoldstein Sep 2015 #162

I used occams razor as I was observing that people were crucifying it's meaning. boston bean Sep 2015 #169

You misused Occams razor. The simplest explanation is that the letter rhett o rick Sep 2015 #306

The letter itself says that, so how is it a violation of TOS to agree? yardwork Sep 2015 #172

What's "Grotesque" is the way he is using Bravenak for his own bullshit agenda. JTFrog Sep 2015 #206

I think it was a forum issue, not a TOS issue MannyGoldstein Sep 2015 #250

What is offensive about stating it was a Bernie supporter. boston bean Sep 2015 #131

Because the letter is a despicable act. Assuming it's a Bernie supporter riderinthestorm Sep 2015 #134

That's not what Sid said? Have you even read the post? yardwork Sep 2015 #154

Where did Sid say that? yardwork Sep 2015 #153

But not just any zombie... Blue_In_AK Sep 2015 #289

Apparently that's how the troll identifies. yardwork Sep 2015 #290

And I think we agree Blue_In_AK Sep 2015 #294

Of course. Trolling is never well-intentioned. yardwork Sep 2015 #296

Point being, why is that so offensive to some? boston bean Sep 2015 #126

Well, I find it offensive and so did 6 other DUers riderinthestorm Sep 2015 #132

I guess I won't get the answer as to why it is offensive. ok. boston bean Sep 2015 #133

I've already said why, several times. Sids assumption the letters from a Bernie supporter riderinthestorm Sep 2015 #171

talking about a letter that comes from someone who states they are a bernie supporter boston bean Sep 2015 #173

You asked for a a fuller explanation on how I interpreted his post riderinthestorm Sep 2015 #184

It is offensive to observe that out of millions of people who support Bernie yardwork Sep 2015 #146

Sid assumes it's a DU that sent the letter riderinthestorm Sep 2015 #179

I'm 100% sure it was a Clinton supporter using it to smear Bernie supporters. Zorra Sep 2015 #174

That would be one of the sites obsessed with DU. Gormy Cuss Sep 2015 #189

The cavers have contacted DUers IRL. jeff47 Sep 2015 #198

So that makes them as source an equally plausible theory Gormy Cuss Sep 2015 #201

The most obvious explanation is what is in evidence. The letter states they are a member of DU. boston bean Sep 2015 #204

Which is why the insistence of some that it couldn't be from a DU Sanders supporter is silly. Gormy Cuss Sep 2015 #210

Many of them do believe a Bernie supporting Duer did it. They think Bravenak sent herself the boston bean Sep 2015 #211

Many comes down to 2... yeah technically that is many nadinbrzezinski Sep 2015 #485

Because people don't lie. jeff47 Sep 2015 #212

the letter writer claims he is, and I believe what he says, because as I have already stated to you boston bean Sep 2015 #225

Why would you believe a cowardly letter writer Blue_In_AK Sep 2015 #293

I'm sure this letter writer would never lie! Chemisse Sep 2015 #360
