childish nonsense?

There would be no 'bugs' had someone not decided to be nasty about it.

I have had all sig lines blocked for years because of that bug, now I have to just skip the posts Bluenorthwest Nov 2015 #4

I might have to do that edhopper Nov 2015 #8

What ever the reason edhopper Nov 2015 #10

It's for this jeff47 Nov 2015 #18

Your right edhopper Nov 2015 #22

I would say that those that are bothered by the bug, don't have anything useful to say. nm rhett o rick Nov 2015 #206

wow! edhopper Nov 2015 #216

Sorry, but the great majority of DUers probably don't even know what it's about. cwydro Nov 2015 #27

And it isn't for the great majority of DUers. (nt) jeff47 Nov 2015 #33

My point exactly. cwydro Nov 2015 #36

No, your point is that it should be about you. jeff47 Nov 2015 #38

You're a funny guy there Jeff. cwydro Nov 2015 #41

I hope you see the irony here. Bubzer Nov 2015 #109

It's a message board Bub, cwydro Nov 2015 #145

It's also a community... which is people took the time to reply to your comment. Bubzer Nov 2015 #149

Not really a community as much as a series of cliques...nt Jesus Malverde Nov 2015 #209

How much time and energy? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2015 #139

Your boy had a history. pintobean Nov 2015 #63

That was the Bug-boy?? BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #64

Yeah, kinda swats the idea that it was just a c/p pintobean Nov 2015 #66

Crushes it, big time. And yet, he's revered here like some deity. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #70

So, should we ban all of the people who have posted something unpleasant in the Clinton Cave? (nt) jeff47 Nov 2015 #119

If they violate the TOS here, yeah. pintobean Nov 2015 #123

Well, they aren't getting banned for TOS violations. jeff47 Nov 2015 #126

If you suspect that, you should alert admin. pintobean Nov 2015 #129

Considering admin banned the sockpuppet account, and mentioned the "main" account in the ban jeff47 Nov 2015 #132

I guess they should have known she would be a part of pintobean Nov 2015 #135

Just an example. There's others that are more recent jeff47 Nov 2015 #136

Your example sucks. pintobean Nov 2015 #141

DU and Discussionist are owned by the same people. AFAIK, our Admins own no other sites. Hekate Nov 2015 #200

YES, they did. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #101

Sure. That's why you decided to make a gif to grave dance. jeff47 Nov 2015 #117

I agree with, and support, the decision made by the Admins...nt SidDithers Nov 2015 #130

No, Loonix did more than that. He asked DUers to vote against the nominee in the general, pnwmom Nov 2015 #183

That's the line that was crossed. Chemisse Nov 2015 #192

Um, you apparently just did read their post. n/t PoliticAverse Nov 2015 #28
