1. Take a deep breath!

It always appalls me to see people here at DU rant against racism, then think bigotry against other people is fine, or at least something we should "understand."

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i just think calling someone a troll because they dont support your candidate is unacceptable

[fenriswolf]

3. and if you dislike a candidate

your free game to be called anything under the sun. hehe it's actually kind of fun if you state why you dislike a candidate apparently it gets everyones panties in a bunch.

[man4allcats]

7. Actually, not quite "anything under the sun"

In the category entitled "Civility," DU Rules state:

Do not publicly accuse another member of this message board of being a disruptor, conservative, Republican, FReeper, or troll (emphasis added), or do not otherwise imply they are not welcome on Democratic Underground. If you think someone is a disruptor, click the "Alert" link below their post to let the moderators know.

[joeybee12]

4. You're absolutely right...my point is that it's just gonna get

worse in the next few weeks...sad, but true. Surprised that thread didn't get locked over that.

[hisownpetard]

5. It is, totally unacceptable. And you shouldn't give it another thought because anyone

who would do that is not worthy of your energy,

:hi:

[hisownpetard]

9. delete - wrong place

[Tyo]

18. One thing about the Obama people

They don't let principle interfere with their idealism

[soleft]

6. Did you hit the alert button?

That's what its there for. I will be really disappointed if the mods don't delete that post. It really offends me. But don't let yourself get dragged down to that level. I know its hard tho not to respond with force.

[xchrom]

8. he has 862 posts and he calls you a troll?

pleeez -- i think miss trollagerie is doing some mighty fine projecting.

in fact i don't think -- i know. -- some one needs to loan him a reality check he can deposit and draw on -- cause he doesn't have any of his own.

nobama.

[hisownpetard]

10. How about saying "TATA"?

"Too Asinine to Answer."
"Too Arrogant to Address."

I made it up for just that kind of post that pisses you off but you don't want to give the offending poster the dignity of a reply.
Works for me!

[MuseRider]

11. Anyone with any sense

would look up some of your posts and KNOW you are not a troll. Sadly good sense has been lacking here for quite some time. :hug: We may disagree on stuff but you are not a troll.

[mitchtv]

12. I trawl for trolls (not you my dear lionesa)

How many will remain after their candidate loses? We'll have to keep our hooks baited and nets unfurled. Troll it's what's for dinner! Served with a nice chianti, of course.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. all i know is i think part of my hatred for obama is stemming from his stupid supporters on du

sigh

[mitchtv]

14. of course, me too

there is a Svengali like spell. He has provenhimself to Gays and Gayelles that he his just a common politician, and their behavior eradicates any feeling of good will that one normally associates with other Democrats. Many, not all.

[Touchdown]

34. Svengali. You gave me an idea, so I posted this...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4387121&mesg_id=4387121

Not something to take seriously, but I worded it in a way that wouldn't give me away.

Needless to say, the responses I got were good for a laugh or two.:evilgrin:

[Chovexani]

15. Me too

It's annoying.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. yeah if he wins the nomination i might have to take a du break

hear him out w.out hearing his supporters on du.

[littlebit]

20. You are not alone

The more I read from his supporters on here the less I like him.

[mondo joe]

21. I'm sure of it, speaking for myself.

At this point I think 0bama will win the nom, and I guess I'll vote for him.

But I'll never be able to look at some DUers the same way after the disregard and disrespect for GLBT people.

[gaspee]

26. agreed

Well, that and when I met him personally, I did not like him - at all.

[Sapphocrat]

37. I've wondered that myself.

Just as there has been a massive influx of brand-new Obama supporters (who, it appears, far outnumber the old-timers supporting Obama -- who, in turn, are not half so hostile as their newer brethren), I expect there will be a mass exodus of same, once the nomination is set (no matter which one gets it).

[NMMNG]

17. Par for the course of late

Whether you're gay or not, if you don't support Obama you're defective and are going to be subjecting yourself to virulent assaults from the attack dogs. There are a number of them who are particularly bad about it and new ones are popping up every day. Some I'll respond to and others I just ignore as they're not worth the effort.

But remember, "Alert" is your friend, as are "Ignore" and "Hide Thread".

[mondo joe]

23. I started using ignore for the first time ever - got 5 on today.

[NMMNG]

24. I have a decent sized Ignore list,

and I've been using "Hide Thread" liberally. It makes things much nicer.

[davidinalameda]

19. and a hillary supporter referred to some of Obama's supporters as unhappy homosexuals

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4354113&mesg_id=4354150

hmm?

GLBT supporters of Obama were attacked in that thread by Hillary supporters

[dsc]

22. while that isn't something I condone

it also is quite different than what the OP is mentioning. She got personally called names.

[davidinalameda]

25. boo freaking hoo

were her comments innocent?

you ever think that maybe she posted stuff that led whomever to call her a troll?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. actually someone said all glbt du'ers who support clinton are part of 'troillage'

look around you, do you think all of us are troll because we dont support your candidate?

on another note, why are you being so abrasive, have i personally ever insulted you?

[davidinalameda]

28. abrasive?

just because I don't feel sorry for you doesn't mean I'm being abrasive

you go and post this thread, for attention and pity perhaps, and you want people to feel sorry for you

you posted in a thread about Edwards supporters going to Obama being a Hillary supporter

why did you post there?

and the title of this thread said that someone called YOU a troll, not all GLBT Hillary supporters

now which one was it? just you or all?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. all. the link would have explained it but it was deleted/

i dont particularly appreciate straight calling us trolls because we dont agree with them on some issue.

and no i wasnt looking for sympathy, i was pointing out homophobia/entitlement.

[mondo joe]

30. Actually, the deleted post did pretty much say DU's GLBT members who

express unhappiness with the McLurkin problem are trolls.

Why you feel the need to attack LionessP is a mystery to me.

Apparently you don't feel the 0bama apologists are doing enough of it.

[hulklogan]

31. Ummmm, have you forgotten Obama's statement about McClurkin only wanting

to change unhappy homosexuals? I think that's where that poster was going with that, not accusing GLBT Obama supporters of being unhappy.

I can't believe the antagonistic attitude of some Obama supporters around here, it's approaching bullying in some cases.

[davidinalameda]

32. pardon my french but bullshit

the poster was calling those who switched from Edwards to Obama unhappy homosexuals

go back and read it

and when you have Hillary supporters posting hateful comments like that in theads, you have to wonder why people get "antagonistic"?

[hulklogan]

33. get over it, can't you take a joke, it's meaningless anyway

and all that nonsense.

[Touchdown]

35. That's a funny comeback!

It apparently flew over you.

Obama said the McClurkin didn't want to guilt trip convert "happy homosexuals". I think it's funny. No. I think it's a gas!:rofl:

I don't support either, even though I shouldn't have to say that, but Obama supporters will always accuse anybody who questions the anointed one as a Hillary troll, so now I have to say that to keep you from giving me bullshit accusations.

[Sapphocrat]

36. It's all that "faux outrage," don'tcha know.

And if you're not gay and don't support Obama, you must be old, uneducated, or simply a warmonger.

As I said in one of the countless GD: P flamefests, if Obama wins, I'll sign off DU once and for all -- not out of sour grapes, but because the unbridled gloating from the Obama camp will make DU absolutely unbearable.

Hmm, I probably shouldn't have said that before the polls open today, as my departure from DU would make so many people so happy, it will undoubtedly GOTV for Obama.

Oh well, too late to worry about it -- and I'm too old, too stupid, too irrelevant, and too gay to care much anymore. Let them try to put me in a re-education camp -- whatever the hell it is they want.
