Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope! It's the...



Well folks, it took a while but the hate mail has been backing up once again so it's time to get out the old plunger and flush some turds. Now, you may be wondering why it is that we publish the Mailbag so infrequently these days. The answer is pretty simple: who needs to hurl abuse at a liberal discussion forum when you can go on Twitter and Facebook and hurl abuse at THE ENTIRE WORLD?

Not only that but the social media revolution has just made everyone so darned lazy. Honestly, I could have filled up this edition of the Hate Mailbag with ten entries from ten different people that all said:

Subject: FUCK YOU

Sent from my iPhone


Fortunately we do still have a handful of desperate losers who are capable of choking out a few paragraphs before they pass out (oddly, many of them still creepily fixated on Hillary Clinton) and so once again we have lovingly curated their effervescent missives here for your pleasure. While the identity of the senders has been protected for some reason, these are all REAL EMAILS sent to DU -- and don't forget, some of them are REAL NASTY, so before reading, please prepare yourselves for some pretty awful shit.

With that graphic content warning out of the way... enjoy!





CONSERVATURD THINKS DU WOULD BE BETTER WITH MORE CONSERVATURDS

Subject: DoverBluff

Figures. My inquiry has brought out the crickets.

I enjoy healthy debate by engaging with liberal Democrats on-line. Your website would be greatly improved and more popular if you guys refrain from censoring conservative Republicans.

But, since you’ve always refused that idea, I have no reason not to believe that you’re a bunch of cowards, preferring obnoxious like-minded progressives high 5-ing each other and dropping the F-bomb over spirited debate.

Your loss.



I MEAN LOOK AT THE KIND OF HEALTHY DEBATE WE COULD BE HAVING IF WE REFRAINED FROM CENSORING CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS

Subject: Review of website

Hi I visited your website democratic underground, I just want to let you know, your a fake piece of shit,I’m sick of my tax dollars going to welfare for lazy no good fucks that think the world should be given to them. your the scumbags leeching off people, Republicans are the ones who go out and make a good living and are successful, how dare you sit their and talk bad about republicans, outrageous



SO YOU'RE SAYING SLICK WILLY COULDN'T KEEP HIS PANTS ON HIS CORRUPT SLIME WIFE?

Subject: your stinking media

tell you company that trump is greatest president since washington, lincoln and reagan and you slick willy who couldn't keep his pants on his corrupt slime wife killary who is most evil in history of politics who when she lost tried to abolish electoral college which she has no right then tried to get her piglousy, fake pocahontas warren, fake socialist idiot sanders, and rich boy bloombert to destroy our constitution and now i hear killary has been ordered to go before a federal judge to explain her emails and i hope the judge busts her worthless behind and puts her in prison for life where she belongs!

YES I'M A DAMED PROUD DEPLORABLE AND TELL KILLARY TO DROP DEAD AND GO TO HELL!



I ALWAYS FIND THAT CITING THE TITLES OF PORN VIDEOS IS A GOOD WAY TO WIN AN ARGUMENT

Subject: Wrongful termination

Hello,

My hadle is "handle the truth".

I'm writing because I was banned for writing a message that attacked no group whatsoever. Someone gay basically said no pedophiles are homosexual, which I disagreed and said that pedophiles can be homosexual, bisexual, and heterosexual. Just how is that slandering anyone? Not only that, I pointed out in porn theres homosexual and heterosexual suggestions of pedophilia when titles say things like Dad with daughter or father with son. Do those titles Not hint of improper acts, such as pedophilia? It's one thing to be banned for harassment, but to be banned because someone is offended I didnt agree with them is completely wrong. After all, how is a forum supposed to function and convey opinions if one is supposed to agree with everything that is said? I would like my account to be reinstated. I can see if I was a troll harassing people, but I only made ONE post, which wasnt even a troll post.



CRAZY RIGHT? IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO BE A TOTAL DIPSHIT AHEAD OF TIME!

Subject: POSTING PRIVILEGES REVOKED

Dear DemocraticUnderground,

You're violating your own rules right at the BEGINNING by stalking me without even knowing me!
No reason to suspend my posting privileges since I didn't post anything yet!
I'm reading your posting and realize your PERSONAL ATTACKS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP making fun of him not to mention liberals bad attitude toward people who differ in opinion are attacked, labeled with all kind of ugly names and untrue statements, threatened, stalked, personally attacked, etc
Obviously your tolerance is for your tribe creatures only
Sorry to bother you
Keep doing what you're doing walking around with close eyes and stuffed ears
One day your illusion will crash just like your candidate and you'll ask yourself 'What Happened'
Till then keep marching advancing HillaryClinton's idea for glo BBC al BEHEADING OF THE INFIDELS, because you look and you see NOT what's PLAYED STRAIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES, HILLARY CLINTON IS DOING ISLAMIC REVOLUTION here in AMERICA AND THE WORLD



CRAZY RIGHT? IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO BE A TOTAL DIPSHIT AHEAD OF TIME! (PART 2)

Subject: You revoked my posting privileges

I registered under "CTLIB". I posted about 4 times and you revoked my posting privileges. I did NOTHING to get blocked. Maybe saying HRC was the WORST CANDIDATE EVER??? This is the second time you fucking idiots have done this. You are a bunch of spineless assholes, So as a farewell to you fucking idiots I want to tell all of you who run the DU site like a bunch of pussies to GO FUCK YOURSELVES. This is why you spineless fucks get called spineless fucks, because you are all a bunch of spineless fucks.



ER, DUDE, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CAME CRYING TO US

Subject: Banned

So I was banned because I consider Lou Holtz a hero. How is this freedom of speech ban worthy?

I don’t have a heart full of hate like many of your posters. Your site is disrespectful and hateful which leads me to believe your want it to be that way.

Calling Lou Holtz a hero = banned
Saying Fuck Lou Holtz I Hate Him= we love you and keep posting.

Lol! It sucks to live in democratic misery. Liberal Tears are Scrumptious. Carry on.

ONE ARTICLE A MONTH? YOU'RE TOO GENEROUS!

Subject: Contributing an article

I wanted to get in touch about becoming a contributing author to democraticunderground.com.

I run a website called MinuteManReview, which has been featured on websites like Ammoland and Guns.com.

I'm an active supporter of gun rights and work hard to counter the liberal bias of the MSM through my writings.

Writing for Minute Man Review takes up most of my time, but I estimate I'd be able to contribute about one article a month to a column to democraticunderground.com.

Let me know if you'd like me to send a sample your way and let's begin collaborating.



TROLL GETS TOSSED OFF

Subject: Revoked Privileges

So I get tossed off, but you allow a thread based on a right-wing Tweet Saying that Bernie Supporters say Trump is better than Biden. The hypocrisy emanating from you two as Admins is astonishing.

FIRST FUCKING STEP TO FUCKING MOVING ON: FUCKING STOP FUCKING COMING BACK

Subject: Password

I know you probably do not want me back, It is mutual.

Can you send me the password reset so I can do that, basic fucking cyber security, and i can move on and away from your fucking DLC site? I know I am not the only actual liberal who will stay away from your neoliberal site, At least be honest who you want to cater to. But seriously, you say you were hacked, you insist people reset their passwords... basic cyber security. If you were hacked or not it is really not my business, nor do I care.

I really do not care for your type, the Limousine insider DC, so called liberal. but really, basic cyber security.

Oh and I have tried using your fucking system to reset it and move on at least 5 times, one from Mexico incidentally during a shive. (the week of mourning in the Jewish tradition, I do not expect you to know that)

Nadinbrezezinski is my fucking user name.

Incidentally, I told your fucking party it was making a Weimar level mistake when you nominated HRC, enjoy that. I told you guys you were doing that before you did that before the primaries were over, and incidentally, my ROV used white out in San Diego to erase Sanders votes, welcome to the Torta effect. (yes it went to court by the way, and the ROV lost)

It is YOUR FUCKING PARTY. Neither democrats or republicans represent me, a simple working class media person that called Trump a fascist. But I am a working class member, and I get it why he got elected. But your party chose to steal the primaries. You are as guilty as the SDs were for the same fucking mistake at the twilight of the Weimar Republic. Historians are sure to call it exactly that.

But can I get that, so I can fucking move on?

Thank you.

That the basic premise is.
SUPPORT DEMOCRATS.

So surprising they object to our premise yet sign on to “speak freedumb”.

1. Allow conservatives in as long as they identify themselves as such while signing up.
2. Create a "Conservative View" Forum and let them only post in that forum. (Rest of DU will be read-only to them)
3. Allow them to make only one post every 5 minutes.
4. Make their nicknames appear red so we will know who they are.
5. While confined to their sandbox and limiting their posting, the rest of DU can beat them up.

I'd love to throw a few punches at the conservative myths myself!

2. You can practically feel the moment when they get the bit in their teeth, start yelling “Yeah Baby! You tell ‘em! Oh yes! Yes!!” and then hit the caps lock and hit that sweet, sweet crescendo that no doubt means a cigarette, a nap and a good keyboard cleaning.

I suppose it says a lot about online life that none of this troubles me. 🤷🏼‍♀️
