"...The people at FReakRepublic are flat out nuts. There used to be some sane ones, but they got driven out or quit in disgust. Not to mention the yearly purges..."
What the heck is he talking about with the "yearly purges" comment? We don't weed-out people who haven't been posting frequently enough or haven't displayed sufficient conservative virtue. That is a puzzling statement, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by DUmmie confusion.

NO photos...PLEASE
I have to give Doohickie credit for writing a nice freepmail. And giving you permission to use his letter for funnies material was really being a good sport about the whole thing.
Oh I have a lot of fun there sending the idiots off on wild goose chases and watching them spend their energy on non-issues. I like to think of myself as anti-freeze. DU can never quite gel as an effective liberal force.
Rather than shine my light at FR, I think I accomplish more spreading darkness there.
I did get mad once at DU, though, when I accidently got my nephews girlfriend at the time, a goth poet, Nightshade, banned by posting under her name. How many years ago was that? I may burn in the bad place for that. She was a good poet. I liked her. I don't know if she still writes or not. She was just coming out of her shell some when they zonked her. God, I felt like a heel.
parsy, the brave and fearless.
I'm still impressed. I've been tempted to go over there, but I'm not creative enough to last long. How on earth do you keep your sense of humor squelched enough to keep from getting banned? I'm mean, they are the most humorless bunch I've ever seen.
Don't be too hard on yourself; if the worst thing you've ever done was accidentally get someone banned from the ant farm, you're probably okay. I'll bet your nephew's girlfriend still writes. If she's good, she probably can't help herself.
Or a "There Is No LIHOP or MIHOP!" thread
I keep various personna on index cards taped to my monitor. Each has a individual personality, quirks, and a different communication style. I use one personna to bump another and keep threads and posts going.
It's hard work sometimes, but the world does not need a efficient, potent DU force out there working their evil.
I do still feel bad about Nightshade. I haven't heard from her in a few years since she broke up with my nephew. Dang, if I was 30 years younger. She came off wierd at first, but I kind of miss the black fingernails and lipstick.
parsy, who wishes he was younger.
FUn Fact: The first recorded visit by the Vikings to the harbor of Loch Garman occurred in the year 819 A.D.. Apparently the year 819 A.D. was in the midst of a SLOW news cycle.
Terry Schiavo, evolution, Harriet Miers...
Does it hurt?
I confess I don't have a degree in Chomsky.
"implant 'control' devices in DUmmies"
Stun collars are the most effective.

Don't be so sure of that. I think they passed their Philosophy 101 where they learned that there is no "right" or "wrong", only points of view (POV). Their biology courses were Ecology 101 and above, which they did fine in, and econ was replaced by Marxism 101 which they aced.
I don't think it was a slow cycle. I suspect someone took the low road to Loch Garman and got ate by the Loch Garman Monster.
parsy, proud new pingee.
He thinks FR doesn't believe in Free SPeech? Try posting a normal conservative idea on DU & you wil be "tomb stoned" immediately. It doesn't even take rude language. FR has several liberal members that have been here for years (MurrayMom).
To each other they are "DUbies"? As in "doobies"? Yeesh.
LOL
The problem with that, though, is that DUmmies (as distinct from honest principled authentic liberals) bend over backwards to be featured in the DUmmie FUnnies, because they have a larger audience here, than in DUmmieland. Fortunately, P-J Comix doesn't fall for the bait as much as he could.
It's like the dirty one, who makes controversial statements, just so he gets featured in the other conservative web-site; the disgruntled one really really really loves the publicity.
