Bigtree: "I just wanted to offer a positive thread of the rival candidate today....."

[Flabbergasted]

for what it's worth."

Here is a link to a bigtree post a couple days ago.

How many here have ever done this....(writing positively about the opposition)?

This is the quality of poster we are losing.

Hopefully the OP is back in a few months.

(gonna kick the thread too.)

2. I did a few weeks ago.

A number of people jumped in. I think it's gotten worse here since then though.

3. k and r

4. Fine. Here goes: I am POSITIVE that HRC should drop out, like, yesterday.

[golddigger]

6. Why? You scared something from Obama's past going to come out?

[elehhhhna]

12. No. She LOST. GET OVER IT.

[golddigger]

13. Another clueless one.

[NDambi]

20. LMAO!

[tandot]

5. Thanks for doing that, Flabbergasted.

I don't invade any positive thread about the other candidate to post some insults or crap on it. I think I'll have to use bigtree's threads to put those idiots who had to crap on it on ignore. There are lots of great Obama supporters here, but some of his supporters are just vile, hateful idiots.

7. Thank you for posting this thread :)

[Barack_America]

8. He's a good poster, sure.

But people leave for all sorts of reasons. Maybe he felt he was here too much.

[KoKo]

15. Have a look at this....it might give you a clue...about why it was OVER!

16. That's great. Thanks.

[cbayer]

9. Thanks for doing this.

I watched this whole thing unfold this am and I was flabbergasted (love your name).

It was an unbelievable hate fest on a very positive OP and it made me sick.

I know that there are come Clinton supporters here who can be equally ugly and antagonistic, but this thing was hideous.

[NastyRiffraff]

10. We lost a good poster, and a good person

I was appalled at the number of people who crapped on the latest post. And yes, he/she did quit because of that...it was the last straw. This, after Bigtree had posted something very nice about Obama.

It's sad. And what really gets to me is that the idiots who hijacked the post are PROUD of themselves. They think it makes them look cool.

[sellitman]

11. Voted & Kicked.

:kick:

[KoKo]

14. Only "One Candidates Supporters" will be last standing on DU....

One by one ...they drop like flies. But...the remaining ones give lots of $$$$$$$$$'s.

It's always about the "money" ...follow that...and SEX! :rofl:

[KoKo]

17. Watch this ...to see.......

18. Talking to yourself?

[KoKo]

19. Yeah...brain worms have taken me over....sorry........

:blush:

21. The link to bigtree's post today shows only ...

'Missing Topic'


For those who missed it ... bigtree simply posted THIS article, and some very nice pictures of HRC campaigning.


http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/12/clinton-s-case-in-pennsylvania-i-m-one-of-you.aspx


As usual, any positive post about HRC attracts the worst haters, and the biggest bullies.


The attacks began ... personal insults and a certain well-known bigmouth labeled bigtree a 'racist'.


... and then, a very 'well-respected' member actually posed THIS question to bigtree ...


"Please tell me what thrills you about Hillary, besides the fact that she's white?"


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5042278



bigtree deserved better than that.

[Flabbergasted]

24. Thanks....

Looks like the OP got deleted....

So much of this anger is completely unnecessary.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

28. Wow. What A Surprise. The Same Usual Ignorant, Childish Flamebaiting Assholes As Always.

Just the removal of HALF of the persistently childish ignorant jackasses that glare out in that thread would make GDP so much more civil. If only...

[SaveOurDemocracy]

29. I have no idea why the original thread was deleted...

There was nothing objectional about the OP. It was the attacks that were objectional. The worst attackers were not even featured in that follow-up thread.

[Flabbergasted]

30. The OP wrote "delete" in the subject line. nt

[Hoof Hearted]

22. k&r

[theHandpuppet]

23. A K&R

We have lost quite a few good, veteran DUers lately due to the poisonous atmosphere in this forum.

[Flabbergasted]

26. I'm hoping they will come back when we've gotten back to business. nt

[BootinUp]

25. bigtree was a good one

in my biased opinion.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

27. Bigtree Is Awesome. But Sometimes Turning One's Back To The Flamebaiting Assholes Is The Right

thing to do...

[SaveOurDemocracy]

31. KICK

[Flabbergasted]

33. Thanks.

32. KICK

[DeepModem Mom]

34. Thank you, Flabbergasted -- K&R!

[Flabbergasted]

35. Thanks. I hope bigtree is back soon. nt

[TheDoorbellRang]

36. It's a shame. bigtree had a big heart

I never saw him/her stoop to the flamebaiting tactics used by some supporters on either side. Hopefully, bigtree has just left GD-P and is still posting elsewhere on DU. It'll be a relief when we're thru this. K&R for bigtree

[Flabbergasted]

38. I think he may be back.
