Ever google your DU username?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

Ever find out that you've made quite a splash outside of DU?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Actually, I haven't done that...

Perhaps I will...

Did you google yours?

I'd be really surprised to find that I've made a big splash outside of DU!

:hi:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Yeah, apparently there are freepers blogging about me.

:evilgrin:

It also appears I've pissed off some woo woo conspiracy nuts.

[TZ]

4. innocent you?

Pissing off people? I don't believe that for a minute....:rofl:

[Connonym]

6. I'll be damned apparently they've been talking about me too

mocking me but whatever. I've got thick skin.

[skygazer]

2. My username just brings up astronomy sites

I kind of like being relatively anonymous. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Well, I googled my username...

Seven references...

All from DU!

*whew*

9. Ewwww!

A post from CU? :puke:

[The Straight Story]

11. Yeah, they have nothing better to do then to bitch about us, their lives

are lame.

[Susang]

57. Just so you know,

There's kinda a long standing rule about posting links to both of those websites (among others). You might want to remember that in the future. Less people's feelings get hurt that way.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Ah, thanks for the links!

Lovely to see them discussing me on CU! :puke:

[Buzz Clik]

59. Isn't it though?

DU can be a total cesspool at times, but The Site That Shall Not Be Mentioned makes this place look like Nirvana.

I could go on and on, but this post probably wouldn't survive. Let it suffice to say that their hypocritical behavior makes Larry Craig look consistent.

[XemaSab]

38. IBTL!

:o

[ThomCat]

12. Thomcat is apparently a common online name,

and the name of a law-school library system, and some kind of equipment for fishing, and someone else named Thomcat is a fairly prolific poster on other sites.

Wow.

[KamaAina]

7. Businesses all over the island are offering discounts

to Hawai'i residents, in my name. Restaurants, stores, attractions, even hotels. :-)

Don't tell anyone, but the "kama'aina discount" is really just a sneaky way to jack up the prices tourists have to pay.

edit: italics

[NoodleBoy]

10. my username is common among people who once went to high school

and read comics by Jhonen Vasquez, so it's kind of hard to pinpoint if anyone's referring to what I've posted.

[FloridaJudy]

13. Just did

I seem to be entirely on Progressive sites (Salon, DU, Alternet, Spaghetti Monster). Whew! I suspect I've got a sizeable FBI file (going back to the sixties), though.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. Yup.

:rofl::rofl:

[seemunkee]

16. Been trash talking on the net with the same username for years

All kinds of crap turns up.

[noshenanigans]

17. yeah, found freepers

making fun on a picture of me I'd posted in the Lounge. Pff. Oh well, by the way, does a page "count" a click if you view it through the google cache instead of the page itself? ;)

[krispos42]

18. I searched freerepublic.com... not a hit

Got a hit on conservativeunderground.com, though.

I got a hit on a couple of things I've posted on the DU.

My flag pic, which is on Wikimedia, is there.

And I may have an old account on About.com, it looks like.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Apparently

I'm too boring to talk smack about. :cry:

[conscious evolution]

20. wow!

Anyone doing a check on my name is going to have to wade through about a million hits before they get something by me.

[catmandu57]

21. Yes and I didn't like the results

apparently i'm quite the celeb amongst our knuckle dragging cousins, it's been a couple of years but based on what I've seen the first time I'd rather just ignore the playground mindset and stay here amod the civilized branch of humanity.

[NewJeffCT]

22. I did - I had one interesting RW reference

When that cranky Scottish MP and socialist was testifying to the Senate a few years back (Forgot his name) and kicking Norm Coleman's ass somebody here on DU had posted "we should offer him honorary US citizenship" and I got criticized for my response that was something like "would he even want it?"

[NewWaveChick1981]

23. Yes.

And it's a good thing I'm not easily rattled by the things morans say. :P :rofl:

[BlueIris]

24. Yep. I was mocked incessantly on The Site That Shall Not Be Named.

And a couple of other right-wing cesspits.

[jgraz]

25. Yep -- Once I saw that the freeps were sending around my home address

Apparently they didn't like one of my posts and a few of them were going to "pay me a visit".

[Blue-Jay]

26. No. My username isn't very original.

[tigereye]

52. but I bet they commented on the squirrel!

[philosophie_en_rose]

27. The Site-that-Must-Not-Be-Named quotes me a few times.

Some asshat has another website that mentions something I wrote here. Both take what I wrote out of context. Asshats.

[bamacrat]

28. HA I was called an asshole on freerepublic.

Thats cool.

[LeftyMom]

29. Apparently the right wingers find me "bangable"

I don't know how they square that with their having decided that the fella is involved in dog fighting- either what on earth I'd be doing with him if that were the case or how bad for their health trying to get in my pants would be if it were- but nobody ever said wingnuts were smart.

Oh, and I pick on Christians, and I'm a know-it-all (that's moran for literate, I guess) and blah blah blah.

[Pierre.Suave]

30. Interesting

there is someone at freerepublic with the same username as me.

I swear, it isnt me.

[uppityperson]

37. I found another uppityperson elsewhere, not me either.

Guess we must have fan clubs or something.

[Pierre.Suave]

39. oh, I KNOW I have a fan club

but did not expect to find them on free republic, more like the freshman girls dorm at Michigan...

[Mythsaje]

31. I'm a "legendary herb primitive"

according to a post on the place that shall not be named.

What's a legendary herb primitive?

:shrug:

There's a freeper reference to me as well, but that's about it.

On edit: I'm slow this morning. Legendary herb primitive. NOW I get it. Mythsaje (let's ignore the difference in spelling here). And to them, ALL of us are "primitive." That's freeper logic for you. THEY'RE the barbarians, but they toss the insult at us.

[crim son]

32. I've done it in the past and found that I was being discussed on FR

not for my politics but for my personal life. Interestingly, a female there defended me against some of the men, saying I was going through a tough time. She was right!

[billyskank]

33. Yes, but not because of DU.

I go by the same nym on www.groklaw.net, and once discovered by googling my username that some people were quoting my signature line in their email sigs!

What's more, it was a quote I made up myself. :o

[crim son]

34. I just did it. What shows up?

"Crim son and David, sitting in a tree..." Oh, he'd be so proud! :rofl:

[Gormy Cuss]

35. I'll bet a dollar that at least one of those sites already has a thread up about this thread.

Anyone care to take the wager?

[XemaSab]

40. Not gonna do it...

Yes, they do. :P

[tigereye]

53. do they analyze your considerable birding skills?

I suppose that would be too much to ask...

[XemaSab]

56. Don't think so

Too stupid. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

42. They do

:hi:

[uppityperson]

36. Yeah, I found out I'm a leftist. Cool.

[XemaSab]

41. Over at the unmentionable site

they said I am a she-demon from hell.

Me, Hillary, and Pelosi.

Good times. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

43. Well, they think I'm a hooker, and a meth addict...

Although, the latter one was originally said here... :crazy:

Yeah, I have soooo much time, btwn being a full-time student, a part-time employee, wife, and caretaker for my parents to be smoking meth and turning tricks... :rofl:

[XemaSab]

44. Hey, maybe the meth is how you HAVE all that time?

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

46. Nah, I'd just get coke, if that were the case...

I'm simply herbalicious, y'know... :smoke:

:rofl:

:hi:

[tigereye]

54. you need Hermione's time turner!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

48. "std ridden whore" is the one i got from a former du'er over at the unmentionable site

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

49. Ah, yes, I remember that...

So clever, eh?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

50. sex positive feminism at work

[Starbucks Anarchist]

72. Seriously?

:wtf:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

75. yes.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

45. Ha! You Kidding? I Just Found Out Recently That I'm One Of The Most Infamous Posters To Ever Grace

the political internet! LOL

Seriously, my jaw almost dropped when I found out how well known I am and how far and wide my name can be found, amongst different blogs and both right wing, left wing, and extremist moron wing websites. I couldn't believe it. I'm talked about all over the place. I don't believe how on a pedestal (including a negative pedestal) some have put me, or how much I drive certain people nuts. I mean, at the end of the day it's just little ole me! I'm just some regular guy sittin at a computer typing my thoughts and opinions. I don't believe how obsessed with me some people are. Some people reallllllllly need to get a life and get a grip. It's just anonymous message board posting for god's sake!

But it was INCREDIBLY entertaining to read recently all these things about me, and how I'm this or I'm that, how I'm trying to do this or trying to do that, how I'm some super secret agent blah blah blah, you name it. Too damn funny! I just don't know how or when I became so widely known and such an arch enemy of the obsessively ignorant. But all I know is OMC has become one of the most well known posters out there and I've gotta say, I really don't deserve the attention. I'm just some passionately opinionated democrat sittin at his computer sharing his thoughts bluntly and honestly, but who is also really quite harmless and innocent. But I'm like a message board GOD now. :rofl:

Seriously though, I was laughin my ass off reading some of this stuff. The ones that crack me up the most are the ones on other so called liberal sites that are every bit as immature and obsessive as our FR counterparts, that just SWEAR I'm a right winger blah blah blah. I'm as firmly a democrat as one could be, and I just can't get over how funny it is that they are so flawed and wrong in their perception. Hell, some of the so called 'liberal' sites (liberal my ass) were even immature enough to berate me about my wife's breast cancer! It surprised the shit out of me that an RW site was 100% decent and genuine about that situation, yet on this so called 'liberal' site they were so childish about it. How embarrassing for them. But the way they obsess over me. Jesus christ. Get a life ya know? LOL

So yeah, I've googled my name recently. It's now going to be a new hobby for me checking up on all the OMC chatter cause I can't remember the last time I felt that entertained and smug as I was reading their rants and obsessions.

If any of them from the obsessive and extremist sites lurk, my message to them is "get a life. I'm just an every day democrat, not some be all end all political mastermind who is such a threat to your ways of life, you obsessed freaks". :hi:

[The Straight Story]

60. I once had a guy who devoted a whole web page about me

How I was a secret agent who spied on him, etc and so on. I called his local police dept (yeah, I tracked his ass down) and they knew who he was already and said he was often off his meds and in trouble (and lived with his mom).

They said they would go talk him if I wanted them to (I sent them the link) but I just let it slide.

Crazy ass people out there.

[BarenakedLady]

47. I was afraid to!

I shouldn't have worried.

[tigereye]

51. no, but I suspect there wouldn't be much...

I don't have much time to rant these days...

also, I think it would be scary. Those people scare me, in general.

[KitchenWitch]

55. Yes, I make a splash at a site that cannot be named here, on a routine basis!

:woohoo:

[Buzz Clik]

58. It seems I've created quite a buzz....

;)

[SPKrazy]

61. I have

and I've got a lot of cyberspace taken up with my asinine posts :P

I remember reading somewhere on an unnamed site somebody had referred to that I was "that guy in the office everyone hates"

:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:

:P

[EstimatedProphet]

62. Nah...don't care enough

If there's idjits on ShitheelRepublic talking about me, I could care less.

[elshiva]

63. The Site that Can't be mention is so fucking ableist.

Making fun of me because I have schizoaffective disorder (but of course they get it wrong and say "schizophrenic." They name all the DU people with mental disorders and make fun of us for being crazy.

[Buzz Clik]

77. It's part of their way of showing how inferior and hateful DU is.

But, really, they are pretty damned funny:

1. One mental deficient was yowling about how stupid DUers are when it comes to math. He then proceded to divide one number by another, and got the wrong answer by a factor of four.

2. In a thread dedicated to proving how petty and hateful DUers are, one poster declared that he was "praying for the death" of a DUer.

3. A certain thread was supposedly pointing out how awful DUers are for making nasty comments about the death of some guy. They quoted a DU post and went on and on about how this was so representative. The only trouble? The lone nasty DU poster was chided by at least ten DUers with no voice of support at all.

4. They proclaim how DU is a "No Free Speech Zone", but I am currently under a lifetime ban from that shit hole after being "disruptive". (On that board dedicated to love and tolerance, I was openly threatened with physical violence several times, endlessly told to leave, and after I was banned, one of the posters wished for my death. Nice stuff, eh?)


Believe me, Larry Craig is NOT an aberration among the insane right -- they are ALL hypocrites.

[sniffa]

64. yes, it's quite disappointing

pretty much nothing but statements about me fucking peopLe up the ass. it's quite boring. i wish the site that Loves me so much wouLd get a new schtick, or at Least say something remoteLy funny. jeez, i'm bareLy checking there once every 2 weeks because aLL that's there now is jokes about my sexuaLity. they don't even mention my peeing off my baLcony anymore, which used to be their favorite. :boring:

[LostInAnomie]

65. I used to have a few freeper pages dedicated to my name.

One called me a traitor to my own community.

One used me as an example of how the DU lounge can hilarious and a great place to stealthily raise your post count.

One felt that I was a freeper trolling GD.

One felt that I was a commie that should be deported.

Sadly, they have all disappeared.

[TK421]

66. Never...but I'm gonna try that right now

just for the hell of it

[TK421]

67. Too many hits....I'm too drunk to research all of them

but the handle is a popular one...so I understand that

[DarkTirade]

73. Why aren't you at your post? :P

[pitohui]

68. don't scare me like that!

just tried it and i do not exist outside of DU

whew!

[Omphaloskepsis]

69. I Google it because I can't remember how to spell it..

[Hawkeye-X]

70. I ran mine on CU - just same old shit

and there was a recent one from last week regarding the 111th Session (my goof, and I knew it and didn't bother to edit it)...

[LaraMN]

71. Oh. My. God. I guess I shouldn't have.

:scared:

Wow. Republicans can't do "funny," but they've sure got "disgusting" and "illiterate" down pat.

[DarkTirade]

74. Guess I'm not important enough. :)

All I found under this screenname was here at DU, or at a few various journals I've made online.

[Bassic]

76. Yeah I did it once.

It seems I once flustred some people at the site that shall not be named.

[MissMillie]

78. nope only on DU... and what comes are are posts at the site that cannot be named

apparently, they think I'm quite a dope over there.

High praise indeed
