529. My tribute to Whisp
Sat Sep 6, 2014, 02:56 AM
Sep 2014

Dear Whisp. I didn't know you, but after reading this thread full of sock-puppetry, yelling, and hidden posts, I feel I know you well enough to put a few heart-felt words together.

I vaguely remember we bumped into each other in the early days of DU3. You were yelling at me about something, but no hard feelings. I know you must have been yelling at me in a nice way, because I'd forgotten all about it by the time I read yr post and moved onto the next one.

Thank you for being the impetus for this thread, which was an awesome and entertaining read. Everything's here, except for much talking about you, the subject of the OP. I want more. I'd even suggest you create another sock-puppet and go straight to ATA to confront Skinner and EarlG on how little Whisp talk there was in this thread, but they're such party poopers the way they notice when sock puppets do that. So, I'll leave you with this sage advice for any future DU adventures. Farewell for now....

as did oldhippie hrmjustin Sep 2014 #1
That one was an ass. nt boston bean Sep 2014 #7
Um I didn't follow him but skinner agreed. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #9
I noticed he was pretty hateful to women. bettyellen Sep 2014 #20
That is probably why he was ppr'ed. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #24
I think being here 10 years and then PPR'd as a troll... DeadLetterOffice Sep 2014 #29
Well troll can mean anything. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #30
Totally get it. DeadLetterOffice Sep 2014 #37
Apt descriptor. Old hippies I know offline were nothing JimDandy Sep 2014 #209
Just so. As an unreconstructed freak in good standing, I felt his handle was inaccurate. riqster Sep 2014 #343
He was also a pro-nuclear troll. I'm happy to hear he's gone. nt bananas Sep 2014 #552
I don't get the Admins using the "sock" reason- for that weird rapey poster @ Discussionist, or bettyellen Sep 2014 #31
Yeah I was not please either with that reason. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #33
I think his MO was to deliberately creep out women.... bettyellen Sep 2014 #226
It might suck, but rules are for everyone. moriah Sep 2014 #111
Skinner explained that The Straight Story Sep 2014 #161

and yet the community didn't hide a single post in the past 90 days. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #55
It says no hide. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #57
That's why I limited it to 90 days. n/t Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #61
It could have been an alert that didn't get a hide. pintobean Sep 2014 #62
I'm guessing there were many alerts on his posts in the past 90 days. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #63
No, there were no alerts on him .... PsychoBunny Sep 2014 #119
How would you know if any of his posts were alerted? JTFrog Sep 2014 #122
Because he is my grandfather PsychoBunny Sep 2014 #128
Sad. Say bye back, and wish him all the best. polly7 Sep 2014 #134
Actually that was his sock BainsBane Sep 2014 #444
Even he wouldn't know if his posts were alerted unless they were hidden. JTFrog Sep 2014 #135
posters do not know if they were alerted on unless the alert ended in a hide or someone notifies uppityperson Sep 2014 #256
If he "pissed off HoF" their influence lies in alerting. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #131

The person you are responding to has just been delivered a pizza. William769 Sep 2014 #414
LOL. Thanks for letting me know... boston bean Sep 2014 #422
HOF has less than no influence w/ Admin... and he would never know if anyone alerted on him bettyellen Sep 2014 #223
Exactly what influence on Skinner would that be? NuclearDem Sep 2014 #282
Post fail bro. Agschmid Sep 2014 #306
Those kind of comments are disrespectful to Skinner BainsBane Sep 2014 #453

You're like the Gladys Kravitz of DU. sufrommich Sep 2014 #148

It's considered bad form... TeeYiYi Sep 2014 #363
I didn't get her locked out... I guess someone should have sent a memo. JTFrog Sep 2014 #364
A memo?... TeeYiYi Sep 2014 #367
Yes. I'm suggesting I didn't realize she was locked out of the thread after a jury let her post stay JTFrog Sep 2014 #368
talk about bad form ... Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2014 #558
I really don't know what you're referring to... TeeYiYi Sep 2014 #586
if you think about the banning, you would realize it can't possibly be the truth. boston bean Sep 2014 #153
Yes, I know. Did you ever get an explanation? nt sufrommich Sep 2014 #157
I searched under the two names listen on her PPR message myself BainsBane Sep 2014 #273

That was a blatant silencing tactic. JTFrog Sep 2014 #125

Well it might have been a combination of things. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #213
check out his last few posts ecstatic Sep 2014 #230
anti choice, anti women posts CreekDog Sep 2014 #234
Don't think I ever saw his "anti-choice" posts, but then again I'm not exactly surprised. nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #291
He was an unpleasant jerk with some obviously right-wing-ish views on race and gender. n/t nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #290

He was PPR'd as a troll BainsBane Sep 2014 #376
I wish we got more than I trooll response so I have no idea why he was banned. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #377
Can you find a post that would suggest that? BainsBane Sep 2014 #379
No I never really read his thread. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #380
Oh, I suppose BainsBane Sep 2014 #381
The reason I doubt it is because the ppr message would have mentioned it. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #382
That is a good point. BainsBane Sep 2014 #383
It looks like you were right that oldhippie had socks. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #432
