[LakeSamish706]

1. Wow, that kinda surprised me actually.... n/t

[leftofcool]

2. Did Herman tell an Obama truth that got him busted?

[Danger Mouse]

4. he racebaited one too many times.

bigotry has no place on DU.

[leftofcool]

8. But sexism does

[endarkenment]

10. please alert all those sexist posts

[Danger Mouse]

13. no it doesn't. if you see it, alert on it.

that's how it works.

[leftofcool]

23. When was the last time anyone was

booted from the fourm for being sexist? Ever?

[jgraz]

36. Ah yes, the "they did it too!!" defense

What are you, 12?

[Cant trust em]

38. The argumentative three card monte

no, whoops, the logic is under this card. You thought it was over here, but aha, I had you fooled.

[Alexander]

48. Unless someone alerts on an offensive post, nobody gets in trouble.

That's how the forum works. The mods aren't deities.

[quakerboy]

75. earlier today.

[The Doctor.]

78. Where? Link?

[quakerboy]

87. Here you are

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=144882

also posted just below.

[The Doctor.]

88. I meant to respond to the insinuation that 'people aren't banned for being sexist'.

So what did the guy say?

[lukasahero]

80. Actually we just (finally) won one ourselves

Enjoy: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=144882

[Danger Mouse]

85. that one was certainly deserved.

[azmouse]

16. ...

:eyes:

[fascisthunter]

22. Funny That You Keep Saying the Same Thing with Very Little to Back it Up

:eyes:

[The Doctor.]

76. Got examples?

[Bake]

50. Tell that to some of your colleagues in Obamaland.

Bake

[endarkenment]

6. if racist crap is 'an obama trooth' then I s'pose so.

[beachmom]

18. Well, you decide. Personally, I thought it was a pretty sick post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5361126

I had taken everyone off ignore, then put this guy back on after reading this post. Now he's gone, so I am back to seeing everyone.

[fascisthunter]

21. I Wonder Who Recommended that Crap? (nt)

[Danger Mouse]

34. probably this moron:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=156073
who has also been sent packing.

[LowerManhattanite]

39. Saw that clown spewing last night too...

...missed that granite cookie, though.

Hope they got a nice tall glass of STFU to wash it down.

[Mezzo]

49. not me...sometimes this shit gets beyond the pale. nt

[Forkboy]

57. Look closely at the thread and I bet you figure it out.

and if you can't SHAME on you. ;)

[joshcryer]

29. Oh that's not the post, he posted a much worse post once that one got locked.

Practically everyone knew he was itching for a ban.

[NightWatcher]

3. He disrupted poorly...how long till HM version 2.0?

[Danger Mouse]

5. i'm sure it's back already....

[Alexander]

55. Not to worry, another DUer's been working overtime to replace him.

I won't say his screen name, but it rhymes with "shrill fuckhead".

That is all.

[Arkana]

62. Oh I live for the day when that jackass is banned.

If I see him call Obama "the affirmative action candidate" one more time I'm going to reach through the computer and strangle him.

[rox63]

81. He just came back from a suspension

Maybe that will teach him a lesson. I doubt that it will, which is why he's still on my ignore list.

[Patsy Stone]

67. Keep your eyes open for posts by

Grandpa Al Lewis, Cousin Marilyn, or Butch Patrick.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. Locking!

You can't celebrate a tombstone.

[endarkenment]

9. double locking

oh yes you can

[Danger Mouse]

11. HM is no longer a DU'er so it's not a callout. if it's against the rules to celebrate his demise...

please show me where it says that.
otherwise, :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Lyric]

12. Check one off The List, I suppose.

:puke:

[Danger Mouse]

19. it's encouraging. i've been paying attention to the most obviously racist posters...

and i think this is a good sign that their number, too, will soon be up.
hillary has some good people supporting her on du, it's encouraging to see one of the rotten apples fall from the tree.

[azmouse]

14. This happy occurrence was already celebrated earlier today.

Doesn't mean that it isn't fun to see it again though. :party:

[Danger Mouse]

15. i missed it, sadly. oh man, i had a LONG day but this just brigtens it right up.

:evilgrin:

[Liberal Veteran]

17. The sky has opened, the light has come down, celestial choirs are singing

LOL

[featherman]

20. HM used to be a reasonable advocate some time ago but seemed to go

off the deep end recently... kind of sad

[here_is_to_hope]

41. Thats true for him and a few others....

I find myself tagging Du'ers who I have read for years...ouch.

[Window]

24. Great!!!

:woohoo:

[Up2Late]

25. Well that one, still about another 75-100 more to go before this place becomes civil again.

I don't think he was on my list, but I have a question: When someone is TSed, does that them off your Ignore list?

I hope so, but don't really know.:shrug:

[Big Blue Marble]

43. I wish it would.

It would be a good new feature. I just check my list once or month or so to see who has been TS.
Last month the number was 12.

[Up2Late]

68. How do you check that?

Do you have to remove them from the list then check?

[Big Blue Marble]

73. It can be tedious depending how long your Ignore list is.

Click on each person' s profile. If they have been tombstoned, remove the person from your list.
That's it.

[polichick]

26. Is that poster called Wyldwolf still here - haven't seen him/her lately?

[Alexander]

53. Wolfie isn't banned, but he hasn't posted here under that name in a while.

My best guess:

[polichick]

64. Lol - cute puppet...

Do you know what name he's posting under?

[rox63]

82. On my iggy list, so I wouldn't know

But he isn't TS'd, I know that.

[Political Heretic]

27. Oh my god.... finally.

[mudesi]

28. I'm guessing the racist thread was what did it (nm)

[NC_Nurse]

30. I'm not surprised after last night's over the top post. I had finally put him on

ignore. I'm glad they granted him his granite. Yuck.

[Danger Mouse]

31. and, fortunately, an idiot who agreed with him on his bigot thread...

also got the granite cookie.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=156073

[L0oniX]

60. Geeze ...I had him on ignore too.n/t

[mythyc]

32. happy dances all around. so glad to see this scumbag audi

[Danger Mouse]

33. DU makes me proud sometimes.

This is one of those times.

[still_one]

35. big surprise for me but deserved. This was definite race baiting

one observation about herman he would never meet you half-way, no comprmise

there are plenty of supporters on both sides who are unyielding, but there are also plenty of supporters on both sides where you could engage in a useful dialog

Herman was not one of those, and was not a good advocate of his candidate, by trying to constantly flame and divide

maybe all sides can be more respectful of each other from now on

[jgraz]

37. Here's hoping this makes the rest of the race-baiters sit up and take notice

H.M. was a long-time, prolific poster. There are many newbies here who have posted much worse.

[Danger Mouse]

40. I think it sends a message.

Hopefully those for whom that message was intended take notice.

[TheWraith]

42. WOO HOO!

Oh, thank God. Talk about your obnoxiously prickish behavior... Very much deserving.

[sniffa]

44. Nice! This is the third thread on this I've gotten to K&R

:woohoo:

Are there any threads bemoaning his passing?

[Danger Mouse]

47. i would seriously hope not. his final threads were so awful

even his fellow hillary supporters couldn't stand him any more.
only a couple of real dead-enders even tried to defend it.

[Debi]

45. Yea!!!

:bounce:

[Barack_America]

46. Wow. My ignore list is quickly becoming a moot point...n/t

[angie_love]

51. Finally!!!!! That was one disgusting poster

:woohoo:

[L0oniX]

52. Another one that I had on ignore. No surprise.

:evilgrin:

[fascisthunter]

54. Yup... that Poster was on a of mine

I read a few of his/her posts and knew something smelled funny.

[DerekJ]

56. Good riddance.,

[Raine]

58. GOOD...I'll have to update my ignore list.

:bounce: :thumbsup:

[Skip Intro]

72. I gotta ask, Raine, if you can see this, who gives a damn about your ignore list?

[XemaSab]

59. There IS a God!

:woohoo:

[Danger Mouse]

63. i think we can both agree that there are others more deserving than him..

but he was definitely one of the rottenest of rotten apples.

[VolcanoJen]

61. Oh, hell to the yeah!!!!

:dem: :dem: :dem:

[jefferson_dem]

65. Locking.

That Herman fucker out of our clubhouse...

4

...

Ever.


Bwhahahahahaha!

[Danger Mouse]

66. he'll be back

[Cha]

69. I saw that posted last night..I was hoping for

a fresh one.

[Bright Eyes]

70. Who was he?

I haven't logged into DU for awhile.

[AZBlue]

71. HALLELUJAH! He went right to my I list after the first disgusting racist rant I read of his.

And he was the one and only person who was never coming off that list, even after January 2009. NEVER EVER. Thank you mods!!!!!

[myrna minx]

74. Karnak: The Cylon resurrection ship is in orbit and we will see

a new incarnation.

[MadBadger]

77. Happy Days!

[Blue_State_Elitist]

79. This is ridiculous.

[Forkboy]

83. Endless racebaiting usually is.

[Danger Mouse]

84. yes, he certainly was, he was a disservice to the good HRC supporters on du.

:hi:

[elizm]

86. Amen. nt

[IsItJustMe]

89. Agreed. The worst of the worst.

[Nine]

90. I suppose I'll get banned for asking this question...

but what was wrong with this post?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5361126

(assuming this is the post that got him/her banned and that it wasn't substantially changed by its edit)

I don't see this poster endorsing racism, merely acknowledging that it exists. Obama supporters don't seem to be denying the existence of racism either, as there are plenty of posts accusing Clinton supporters of being racists. Why is it okay for Obama supporters to claim there is a high percentage of racists in the Clinton supporter population and that it affected/will affect our votes in primaries and caucuses, but it's not okay for Clinton supporters to suggest there is a high percentage of racists in the general population and that it will affect votes in the general election? Seems like we're saying it's fine to accuse loyal fellow Dems of racism but don't you dare accuse those voters who didn't participate in Dem caucuses and primaries (i.e. mainly Republicans) of being racists; doing so is somehow a slam against Obama.

I think there are also plenty of voters who won't vote for Hillary because she's a woman. And I think it's fair to examine that statistically when trying to determine who has a better chance in the GE. But I can't imagine someone being banned from DU for suggesting that sexism in this country will hurt Hillary's chances in the GE.
