Paranoid Cesspool pulling all threads mentioning Andy Stephenson

[Atman]

Over and over and over I was told what a privilege it was for me to be able to post on a board that doesn't censor posts, "the way DU does." Nope, nothing like the way DU does. DU has clear rules about trashing other members and working against the party, and Skinner and the mods do a good job of enforcing them, even with tens of thousands of posts to review every day.

But then, one day, in the midst of another failed attempt to defend their anti-American, anti-constitution, giant-government, huge-deficit, nation-building/destroying party, one of them apparently ran out of actual rebuttals to me, and instead posted a charge which I could not let stand, claiming "on reliable authority" that I had committed some particularly atrocious crimes. Since I don't hide my identity, I was rightfully pissed off that they had taken the GOP smear route, and I fired back.

Before I could get my finger off the POST button, it was deleted. So I tried again, not believing even these cretins would stoop to this. Deleted. So I tried again, in a different forum. Deleted. So I tried again. Banned. Locked out. Probably the lowest tactic I've ever seen on any message board.

"We don't ban people here for speaking the truth like they do on DU!" they always told me.

No, the right wing extremists apparently ban people for trying to DEFEND the truth. If you question their lies, you'll be labeled "angry" and "out of control." Although they currently have more threads and posts devoted to discussing ME and what I post on DU than any other single topic.

And now...straight from the mod's keyboard, after one of the Cesspoolers couldn't find a thread he posted...

"...I told you before the Andy stuff isn't to be posted anymore. I've PM'd you also and told you the threads would be gotten rid of. The one you're talking about fell off the main page in the forum it was in and I got rid of it.

(name) has made it clear to me and recently to the rest of the Mods. If the thread brings up Andy in any way shape or form, it's gone. Do I have to be any clearer son??? Jeeze!"

So there you have it. That is the right wing extremist idea of "free speech." You are always free to lie and smear about another with the wildest, most outrageous charges you can think of, but under no circumstances are you allowed to mention Andy Stephenson, an American hero who used the last precious days of his life to help expose the egregious fraud committed against the voters of the United States. No way, josé. There's only so much truth they'll actually allow. Which is apparently NONE.

Okay...next Tuesday they'll be claiming Andy came back from the dead and stole the election for the Democrats. The right wing fake conservatives, make no mistake, are very seriously fucked up people.

1. So how did you get back in after being 'banned'?? n/t

[Atman]

2. I'm not back in. Wouldn't go back if they paid me.

But anyone can read it, just like DU.

:)

3. confusing

i had assumed "paranoid cesspool" was a DU moderator, but I guess it is another message board where you post?

[Atman]

5. I don't even want to give enough info for you to Google them

Maybe somebody will PM you if they know what I'm talking about, but the fuckwad will get no free promo from me.

[Rockstone]

9. May be better if you clarify your OP

not to tell you what to do, but myself and several others seem to have been confused by you post.

I don't know or care what the blog was, but I know there is one with a name that you morphed into Paranoid Cesspool. I forget what it is and don't actually care. I know - "progressive mirage" is another way to morph it, right?

[Atman]

12. No, my nickname means nothing, except as a descriptor

I believe Skinner admonishes posters who link to them by calling it "a cesspool." Not wanting to give it any PR (or piss off Skinner), I'm not even going to offer initials. Believe me, someone will come along and recognize the board, and maybe they'll PM you, but I won't.

Besides, I'm still washing the filth off me. You really don't want to go there. Everything you need to know about the level of their hatred for freedom and the Constitution is in my op.

17. "Everything you need to know... is in my OP" quote un freckin' quote!

don't worry your little head about anything, honey, just take my word for it

no offense, atman, but you've got to do better than this

every story has 2 sides, and andy the holy is not a particularly believable one, since he helped the inimitable bev harris defraud us all

dying don't make you jesus, it just makes you dead

[Atman]

18. Honestly, I never got involved in any of that

I didn't follow the threads, and I didn't know Andy, or send money to anyone involved. I did catch up on a lot of it towards the end, though. I also didn't know of any BBV connection, if what you're saying is true.

What I do know is that the behavior of those people towards a dying man, Jesus or not, was one of the grossest things I'd ever seen. And I also know that there seem to be LOTS of DUers who revere the guy, and he's going to be featured in an HBO documentary tomorrow. I'm assuming not because he was a scammer for Bev Harris, but it hasn't aired yet. I'm just applying a little common sense.

But please, there isn't any need to rehash all of that. I really don't care about it. My point was larger than that, and actually more directed. And it lured a slimey cretin out from under his rock, and exposed him for what he is.

Good enough for me!

[pitohui]

19. good enough for you but too obscure for the rest of us

either name the cretin and/or the site or i don't see the point of the post except to knock threads that have actual content off the page

sorry, man, but i call them how i see 'em and there is too much "coy" going on here -- too much "i'm in the in group that knows what's going on and you're not"

most of the 90,000 DUers myself included are not one of the cool kids and it doesn't help the cause rubbing this fact in our face

BTW my understanding is a lot of what's in the documentary does come from bev, who pocketed our money and did freck all but self promote so pardon me if i'm bitter

[Atman]

21. No cool kids, nothing coy.

In fact, I'm done with it. Sorry you feel you missed something big, but you really didn't. I never expected this thread to still be even on page 4 by this hour.

I have nothing left to add.

Good night.

22. And as usual, Skinner is right. n/t

[bridgit]

4. hm...

[Atman]

7. Huh?

Sorry. Don't have a clue what you're talking about, or how you could possibly reach that conclusion.

:shrug:

Oh, wait...I just noticed your screen name.

:hi:

[Atman]

8. Wow! Interesting edit!

Hmm indeed!

wink, wink...

[LTR]

11. Oooh, I know which one it is

The one whose loser members obsessively scour and beat-off over DU everyday cherry-picking their fave DU threads to post on their pathetic little board.

The ones who like to talk about a bitchin' party they're not invited to.

And the same losers who were promoting Scamdy, which turned out to be a major embarassment to them, since Andy died. Notice that site hasn't been updated or moderated in awhile?

This is an incident they'd rather just sweep under the rug. It made them look bad. Real bad.

[Atman]

13. Nothing can make them look worse than they make themselves look.

I went in pretending to be "one of them," but I wasn't prepared for how difficult it would be, and gave up quickly. I couldn't even make up stuff as bizarre as the stuff they actually believe. So I started posting TRUTH. Straight news stories form LBN. And they'd flame me for trying to claim I WROTE them, but would never address anything in the news stories. It is really a twilight zone over there. That is what's so scary...if it were a parody site, I'd sit back and laugh, but these people are walking free, off their meds. I think they all post from the same group home anyway.

14. I'm assuming

this is the site that can not be named over here? How'd they get you so riled? I believe you posted angrily about them before. Are your posts over there still available to read? I'd like to check them out.

23. Are we allowed

to write about ehis other message board?

Regardless, it seems weird to start a whole topic on this subject out of the blue. Or was it out of the blue? Was there something else to this?

[Atman]

25. It was because of the Andy link; I know a lot of people liked him here

It's over. I'm done.

.

[BlueStorm]

24. I think I know what site you are talking about

Atman. I have been there and they are pathetic. Though I am not sure why they can't be mentioned here, if anyone has the answer to that I appreciate it if they would tell me.

[Atman]

27. I believe they're mostly banned, angry ex-DUers

There are usually more "guests" from DU reading them than they have members posting. One thread on DU gets more views in an hour their entire board gets all day. Also, pretty sure the rest of it is some personal animosity. Anyway...one more time...let's drop it.

.

[lonestarnot]

26. "gotten" rid of. yeppers, gotten, that's their idea of speech alrightie,

don't know how free, but their ideeers are jest dee dee dee diddle dumbass. :rofl:

[tcfrogs]

28. I assume I'm not the only one

who has no clue what you're talking about.

[yewberry]

29. Why bother?

Seriously, they're sub-human filth.

I remember their behavior when Andy was dying; it should be no surprise that they don't want that topic revisited. They treated his death as some kind of disgusting scavenger hunt. It doesn't matter how many threads they delete now; they showed their true colors then and that won't be forgotten. It certainly shoudn't be.

Let them continue to obsess over this site, its members and what's posted here. They'll continue to be irrelevant.

It's what they're good at.

[pinto]

30. Locking.

We don't support providing any publicity to sites that are primarily established to slam DU's stated purpose or our membership. Thanks.
