2. there are about 10 flame war threads going right now in there.

7. Ugh...he is always stirring shit.
I'm so glad I have him on Ignore again. His contrariness, condescension, and perceived intellectual superiority get fucking tiresome after a while.

16. I was waiting for him to stick for Fred Phelps of GODHATESFAGS

26. Why On Earth Would I Stick Up For That Piece Of Shit?
Attacking an individual is one thing. Attacking an entire group in a broad brush manner is another.

10. It seems to have started out as a religious thing
now its a "personality" thing. Some obvious sockpuppet is going around saying "Your wife is dead, ha ha!". Which as irritating as OMC can be admittedly, (although I genuinely like him) is about as low class insult as I have EVER seen here.

12. That's atrocious.
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 07:25 PM by Bornaginhooligan
Consider the clues.

1. He's versed in DU history.

2. He's a troll.

3. Very likely a sockpuppet from that very thread.

4. Privy to other user's personal information.

The game is afoot, Watson!

13. OMG!
As much as OMC annoys me, not even he deserves to be insulted like that. No one deserves to be insulted like that. That's absolutely despicable.

:puke:

I'm really glad I haven't seen the thread in question.

14. Same "Poster"
also posted OMC's personal information (briefly). There is someone who is very vindictive in that thread.

19. And this was a relatively new DUer?
Yeah, definite sockpuppet. I hope the admins give the sockpuppet a granite cookie, locate that person's IP address, and tombstone whichever DUer has the same address. I wouldn't treat my worst enemy like that, and whoever treated OMC in this way should not be allowed to be part of our community any longer.

And I thought I had seen the lowest of the low during the primaries. Geez... :(

24. Has Nothing To Do With The Mormons.
Has all to do with bigotry and intolerance.

I don't care who the target of such bigotry and intolerance is. I will always stand up to any individual display of bigotry I see and let it be known that it's unacceptable. We all should. Why is that concept so hard for some to understand?

11. He literally cannot NOT cause trouble.
It's partly amusing and partly obnoxious. But always entertaining.

9. I just lurk there for now
After all I just post "rw talking points". Better to stick to the lounge, where I can build up my post count so I can shock everybody when I come out after the election... :eyes:

25. That was one of the most pointless threads I have ever read.
Seriously.

27. Nasty personal attacks on OMC's deceased wife.
by an obvious sockpuppet. Whoever was responsible should be TS'd. Those posts are the most disgusting personal attacks I have ever seen on DU.
