106. Great post, Brother Ivan

Nov 2015

Thank you for posting it.

This is some disgusting shit. Regardless of who it is, banned or not a million times over, what has been allowed to continue here has caused such strife, ridiculous, disgusting posts, such divisiveness, absolute lack of substance, and complete lack of decorum that it's obvious the owners of this site no longer care about it.

It is bad enough that members of MIRT are known to have targeted other members here and nothing is done, while other, long time members, who support Bernie instead of who the owners like, are kicked for bullshit excuses and that new members are removed after doing nothing against the rules but wrote pro-Bernie posts. But when people are allowed to write horrible private messages to other members, repeatedly, and members post that other DUers are about to be kicked off and nothing is done, well, we might as well just go to Facebook. Already feels like we're in the playground at grade school.

I, regretfully, just invited a new person here and she started posting. I'm now embarrassed to have her here. And this is an important person that would bring more posters and some attention to the site from well known sources.

I'm sure she won't be here long

An Open Letter to the Admins and Owners of DU [View all] BrotherIvan Nov 2015 OP

That's a long-time troll who has posted the exact same stuff to many DUers. cyberswede Nov 2015 #1

I was just about to post this. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #3

If people know who he is, it should be reported to Twitter BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #10

Go ahead and report it. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #28

I don't have his IP address BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #35

MIRT doesn't have access to IP addresses. nt cyberswede Nov 2015 #39

Only Admin can see IP addresses. MIRT can't. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #40

All twitter needs is his username--THEY have access to his IP address! MADem Nov 2015 #56

Yes, but isn't it lovely that Brother Ivan posts this thread in GD not Ask Administrators? KittyWampus Nov 2015 #143

Indeed. MADem Nov 2015 #151

You consider those tweets 'drama'? polly7 Nov 2015 #156

do you consider Catherina's twitter feed 'drama'? Despite attempts to hide them- KittyWampus Nov 2015 #158

That is HER twitter feed and whether you like it or not matters not one single fucking bit. polly7 Nov 2015 #161

He conceals his IP BainsBane Nov 2015 #130

How do you know? BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #4

This troll sometimes sends PMs on DU - TBF Nov 2015 #110

Exactly. Classic work of that troll. Paulie Nov 2015 #7

Even if that's the case pintobean Nov 2015 #12

And those released real names as in one of my ops Sheepshank Nov 2015 #149

Has he been banned? BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #17

That troll has been banned from DU probably hundreds of times. cyberswede Nov 2015 #22

And yet he keeps coming back. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #26

Naaah. He's mentally ill. He has an obsessive need to shock people using crude, vile and violent MADem Nov 2015 #62

He did join Discussionist a few times that I know of. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #70

Ha ha ha--the crowd over there would eat him alive!! MADem Nov 2015 #77

Every time he disappears (and he's been absent recently), greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #83

Library Girl--I remember when she went on a North Korea kick!! LOL!! MADem Nov 2015 #97

I met library girl, once, years ago! greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #103

corarose wrote the most epic ode to me on a blog once... ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #125

Hahaha!!! MADem Nov 2015 #135

I think I read that at the time. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #136

It was that weird mishmash of every job I ever talked about having. LOL ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #153

That was Don_G, who was also banned. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #157

Wow--you've been touched by DU FAME!!! MADem Nov 2015 #129

It was a very surreal experience. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #137

That's exactly what I picture when I see posts like that.. mountain grammy Nov 2015 #134

He's been banned hundreds of times. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #23

Thanks for the assist earlier, greatauntoftriplets! BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #30

You're welcome. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #31

DTG strikes again! zappaman Nov 2015 #29

Oh yeah, he attacked me when I was on MIRT...and that was ages ago. dixiegrrrrl Nov 2015 #42

"not a very mature person" demwing Nov 2015 #76

So should be reported to FBI, then, yes? n/t dixiegrrrrl Nov 2015 #154

OMG--I got a DUMAIL from that asshole, years ago!! If my old DUMAIL from the old site MADem Nov 2015 #43

Yep. He trolls other sites as well. one_voice Nov 2015 #46

Yes, that's the troll who sends PMs to DUers. yardwork Nov 2015 #53

Yup ismnotwasm Nov 2015 #69

Oh, it's SHART BainsBane Nov 2015 #71

+100 JustAnotherGen Nov 2015 #80

I don't think DTG and SHART are the same troll. cyberswede Nov 2015 #94

I understand that BainsBane Nov 2015 #118

Oh...I thought you were, since I was. cyberswede Nov 2015 #123

Yes. I realized that after the fact BainsBane Nov 2015 #126

Amen!!! A million times over!!! riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #2

Thank you. This should not be allowed to continue. BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #6

The admins don't own twitter. That guy is a lunatic troll who has been around for eons. MADem Nov 2015 #48

That's a troll that's been banned... one_voice Nov 2015 #47

Hnk! sibelian Nov 2015 #5

Yup I know nadinbrzezinski Nov 2015 #8

And the email I got Wednesday afternoon had detailed DU info Omaha Steve Nov 2015 #11

You received a personal email? BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #16

He's saying as well that his personal email address has been posted. merrily Nov 2015 #58

That's messed up BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #67

You bet! merrily Nov 2015 #88

We should be pulling together to protect each other riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #113

Why would someone get so angry over what is posted on a discussion board? Throd Nov 2015 #13

I received similar messages quite some time ago sharp_stick Nov 2015 #14

Yes, part of his M.O. is to PM before he gets banned. zappaman Nov 2015 #33

That is sickening but I am glad you brought it to our attention. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #15

This troll has been on the internet since at least 2008 - present on many, many websites NRaleighLiberal Nov 2015 #18

she should give it to the fbi for terroristic roguevalley Nov 2015 #49

Yes, definitely. n/t whathehell Nov 2015 #93

How do you know this is coming from a DUer? sufrommich Nov 2015 #19

+1 leftstreet Nov 2015 #24

For one, her tweets and apparently my account as well as she tweets me BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #27

That's not proof leftstreet Nov 2015 #36

There are other instances that have been reported to the Admins BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #45

Still not proof it comes from a member of DU n/t leftstreet Nov 2015 #65

The screenshots contain DU members discussing personal info BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #84

What screenshots? leftstreet Nov 2015 #85

"Could be" but not probably. eom NorthCarolina Nov 2015 #55

Bullshit,stop making fact free accusations against DUers. sufrommich Nov 2015 #38

Wow. That's your reaction to this? No empathy for the victim? nm rhett o rick Nov 2015 #86

That seems to be in very short supply on this thread BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #90

Post removed Post removed Nov 2015 #95

In other words, "the victim deserved it"? Always the rationalization. nm rhett o rick Nov 2015 #112

Yeah,no. As a host,perhaps you can explain why this accusatory sufrommich Nov 2015 #117

Ick. polly7 Nov 2015 #115

Yes, that is quite a coincidence. polly7 Nov 2015 #68

Yes. I'm especially concerned if it's known to be a DU member. Laurian Nov 2015 #41

You may want to copy this to ATA sharp_stick Nov 2015 #20

That guy is a wellknown repeat troll known as "DTG" to the mods and admins. nt CJCRANE Nov 2015 #21

That's Death Threat Guy... SidDithers Nov 2015 #25

Oh hey - It's death threat guy Oneironaut Nov 2015 #32

Thank you. Did not know. oldandhappy Nov 2015 #34

That's not a DUer... That's a nutbar who's been sending those messages ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #37

I don't know if it's one guy. I think it's "copypasta." Oneironaut Nov 2015 #44

I second this motion Demeter Nov 2015 #50

Dear god ......... poor Catherina. polly7 Nov 2015 #51

Crazies abound, and not only in the United States. WinkyDink Nov 2015 #52

Brother Ivan, I am so happy to see you again, friend, though sorry about this ugly news. merrily Nov 2015 #54

Everyone is focusing just on the tweets BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #64

That's what makes you who you are and why I admire you. merrily Nov 2015 #96

There is cyberstalking going on nadinbrzezinski Nov 2015 #101

Apparently there is BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #127

so now that you know this is not an actual du'er, perhaps you should delete. mopinko Nov 2015 #57

I wanted to start a discussion about things that were happening to other members BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #82

A yucky guy, for sure. Not seeing how DU is responsible. nt sibelian Nov 2015 #59

This OP has blamed DU'ers for these awful threats... one_voice Nov 2015 #60

I alerted on it as a fact free accusation against DUers. sufrommich Nov 2015 #73

+1. nt MADem Nov 2015 #74

+1 leftstreet Nov 2015 #78

Ditto. cwydro Nov 2015 #81

I have seen a screenshot from another site BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #89

From 'another site,' not DU? leftstreet Nov 2015 #100

This particular troll has nothing to do with any of those things. cyberswede Nov 2015 #102

I do not have as much as experience with this troll as some have BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #104

Thank you for admitting this may not be a DU member n/t leftstreet Nov 2015 #111

I really like you, BrotherIvan, but I think a lot of us have a BIG problem with your refusal ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #114

I think people have made their point very well BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #139

That's really not what I said. You've connected something that isn't from a DUer ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #144

Thank you... cyberswede Nov 2015 #120

Fair enough BrotherIvan Nov 2015 #122

"people have complained"..Who has made those accusations? misterhighwasted Nov 2015 #119

I never said I wasn't offended by what was being said... one_voice Nov 2015 #132

Here's an example of a "disruptive meta" thread. yardwork Nov 2015 #61

I agree... cyberswede Nov 2015 #128

Same here since it was immediately clear to me who it was. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2015 #141

Ha! You aren't the only one. ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #150

Sounds like a robotroll! Helen Borg Nov 2015 #63

Actually it has happened before yuiyoshida Nov 2015 #145

This site, if not already, could use a proxy blocking plug-in to deny atomized IP addresses. nt TheBlackAdder Nov 2015 #99

Admins went through this once already with the Attacks from actual DU members on Bravenak. misterhighwasted Nov 2015 #105

Two points nadinbrzezinski Nov 2015 #121

One Point. I am referring to the blame listed in the OP. misterhighwasted Nov 2015 #147

Yup, this has happened and DUers and the Admin don't seem to care riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #152
