There are no "Cults" or "cultists" roaming over the pages of DU.

[rasputin1952]

Come on people, the vast majority of people that are posting are people you've likely known for years here on DU.

Sure, we have the occasional yahoo, troll and other assorted nuisances, but we are not overridden but "Cults".

I suggest that "Hide Thread" be used liberally in these types of situations, and if it is out of hand, please use "Alert".

Regardless of whom we have decided as a candidate, or for whatever reason an individual chose that candidate, I feel secure in the knowledge it had nothing to do with a "cultist" attitude.

Please people, tone down this stuff, it is absurd.

1. I'm just gonna start running with this shit.

[Jamastiene]

35. Wow, you need a wheelbarrow

to carry ones that big around.

[Broken_Hero]

2. Just quit it....

You are making WAY to much sense...and I just can't have that.




:hide:

[bunnies]

3. word. rec'd. nt

4. Agreed, but there are some

obvious flamebaiters here who are proudly new posters. And it might help if they weren't stirring things up by posting obvious flambait threads- and I'm not talking about the silly cult stuff.

[rasputin1952]

5. This is why we have the "alert" function...

:)

[cali]

9. It's been pushed. repeatedly. by hundreds of us.

it seems to be malfunctioning.

:hi:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

6. "Occasional troll?"

My side.
It hurts.
Splitting.

On the bright side, I get my daily dosage of Spam. :party:

[rasputin1952]

7. LOL....considering the # of posts and members here, we do

quite well in Troll Control...:D

[madfloridian]

8. Actually.....

it may be very good to let it continue. It is showing some patterns. I alerted on one, but maybe we should let it go.

It is showing patterns.

[madfloridian]

10. And actually...

11. As politics goes....it is..... 'a theater of the absurd'.....

.....and as far as this "cult" stuff....Living Colour said it best...

12. Carville started it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4480161

And now it is at the top of the greatest threads and frontpaged at DU...that Obama supporters are cultists.

Amazing, ain't it.

[rasputin1952]

13. There are times when I like Carville, and there are times when I

wish he would get lost in the swamps of LA. The swamps look good at this point...;)

However, just because he is a fool for jumping out like that, I see no reason why anyone else should just hop right into the boat w/him.

My thought is to just "hide" the threads that go this route, and simply not post to them so they just drift away...:D

[madfloridian]

14. When they are top of the greatest and

front page hard to ignore there.

I got an email from someone who reads every word there and seldom comes down into the forums. They wanted to know what the heck a post about Obama cultists was doing there. People notice.

Cultism brings thoughts of Jim Jones. It is just wrong.

But like I say, after we alert, there is nothing left to do but follow the trail back to Carville and company.

[rasputin1952]

15. I know what you're saying...Jim Jones, Charlie Manson,

Pat Robertson...:evilgrin:

it is tough to deal with, and it seems to be the "item d'jour". Kind of makes us look like a tad "dizzy", but then again, it still beats the garbage that FR tosses out there. I find it difficult for people to just "accept" this stuff...they read it on a site, and then BAM, figure they have to post it all over the place. No one ever wins in argument, and silly stuff like this is meant to do little more than create arguments.

I figured we'd all have matured a bit more....what's next...Witches! We must stop the witches and warlocks before they take over the government!!!!!

[madfloridian]

28. The argument that we are better than FR may not hold water.

:rofl:

Being better than FR is not a real goal.

[no name no slogan]

16. But I'm a cultist

Lee L. Mercer Jr. is the only hope to prove that America is America (all three)

[rasputin1952]

17. Man...we need to get you to "deprogramming" right way...

:D

[tishaLA]

18. Thank you for talking sense.

This place has become incredibly unpleasant.

[MH1]

19. "OCCASIONAL yahoo, troll and other assorted nuisances"?

:rofl:

[rasputin1952]

21. The occasional troll keeps this place humming...

in fact, it shows that we are having an affect on those who are on the Ronald Reagan for Sainthood bus...and it's fun to watch them throw each other under that bus. When they come here, to prove to others of their ilk, their "bravery", they get duly shot to pieces and then buried w/o honors; it warms my heart...:evilgrin:

25. Just a kick for the Night Crew....

:kick:

[ecstatic]

26. And people in cults certainly don't read

They stay isolated for the most part.

[rasputin1952]

27. ...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

29. LOVE Your Sig Pic!!!

How could they NOT end up running together! I so hope in the end that's what we see!

[hedgetrimmer]

30. The inane uppity behavior of this board

Get off your f*cking high horse and realize that you are a cultist. Read the F*cking definition and understand that by party affiliation you are a cultist... any candidate for president can be and is a cult. So just let that be and move on... blah...

[rasputin1952]

32. High horse.....I can't get this steed to move...

:P

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

31. You're Just Tryin To Get Me To Let My Guard Down. Then *Whooosh* As Soon As I Do, They'll Take Me!

I'm onto you and your mind control games... :P

(ok ok, K&R)

[rasputin1952]

33. Beware of the night...

:P

[cooolandrew]

34. ABSOLUTELY, I have most on hidden but it is hefty work. K&R

[rasputin1952]

36. Not to worry...There will be another "issue" along right away...

just wait a little bit...
