"Please DO NOT accuse people of being "freepers""
DU Post ^ | 12/11/01 | Skinner

Posted on 12/11/2001 5:19:43 AM PST by cody32127

I have noticed a disturbing trend on this message board, and it has got to stop NOW. Often, when people dare to suggest something that does not parrot the typical DU party line, they get accused of being freepers. Sometimes they will agree with the DU party line and STILL be accused of being a freeper, because their posts "smell funny." THIS BEHAVIOR IS PARANOID IN THE EXTREME, AND IT MUST STOP NOW. You are driving away thoughtful Democrats who want to participate on this board. When you accuse someone of being a freeper, YOU ARE HURTING DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND. If you do not like what someone has posted, POLITELY explain why they are wrong. Do not point fingers and call names. And if you think someone is actually a freeper, click the "Alert" button on their post. The moderators will deal with the situation properly.

That portion is kind of chilling, in a banal way. Full of menace, yet phrased innocuously. I wonder what Hannah Arendt would say.

This is a great idea. Lets get an army of Freepers to signup and spam the crap out of their moderators by hitting the "Alert" button on everyone on the board! Get everyone banned....but us!

They also are on to The "help a single guy" thread earlier this morning, guess they don't feel the need to advise their fellow Duers.

You could tweak the Seminar Caller routine abit like this. "Hi, I love your web site. I've been a Dem for years and I voted for McGovern in the last election."

Doesn't this contradict the Clinton "scorched earth" policy in dealing with the opposition?

Sounds like the writer may not be such a loyalist, after all.

I agree... Dumbasscrap Underground is just like their comrades in the media and government - I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Daschle creates an "Abuse" button for the Senate, to deal with conservatives who actually voice an opinion...

Yes. This post is not rational. We must sneer at the person who posted it. We must call the poster, in a snide way, an idiot. Harry Browne and Ayn Rand demand we show how superior to others "we who know" are.

(gosh...I've sunk to a new low, defending a post from DU..Libertarians bring out the worst in me)
