For F8cks's Sake please...I beg you...no more Imus!!!! AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH.

[hang a left]

Thank you, thank you verry much.

[illinoisprogressive]

1. Sorry. I just posted something. My first remark on it. sorry.

[givemebackmycountry]

2. OK NO more IMUS

But hey...did you hear the latest about Anna Nicole Smith's little baby girl?

Like Yakov Smirnoff says...

WHAT A COUNTRY!

6. Ok that is IT!!

I am reverting to alcohol!

[jesus_of_suburbia]

3. The one thing that will bring you relief?

The hide thread feature is your friend!

[hang a left]

13. Does it really work??

I have heard about it over the years...

I just want to mutha fuque someone

Maybe I need therapy or something

[nam78_two]

14. Not really

Not when half the threads on every page are about it and new ones keep coming up.

Look, I get how in the first day or two of this type of thing there are many fresh ways of approaching it and many threads pop up. But, this is day three or four of this. Its rather inconsiderate and arrogant to think you have something SO novel to say, you can't post it in the other 200 threads on it :shrug:..

Look at the threads-they can be grouped into different classes and many of them say things that have already been said by someone else. As someone else said, this should be a matter of common sense.

I didn't start a new thread to say this-I am saying it in one that is already up and I think many others could do that rather than start a new thread about it.

17. Zacktly my purpose

So condense it now here brother!!

[hang a left]

31. OK now...

figure out a way to stop them genius.

[hang a left]

46. Are you trying to diss me...not really?

Whatever. I got sick of all the threads. Want to pile on..gohead now.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

4. I agree... it makes me want to stop visiting this site.

I think he should be fired.

He should have been fired long ago.


So should plenty of other people.


He seems like he's willing to do more about it than most idiots though.






By the way, I'd never stop visiting this site because I Love you gals and guys too much!

8. If you don't do drugs.....

you should consider them now ba,bay!

5. Thank you for starting yet another Imus thread

There just hasn't been enough of them.

[hang a left]

10. this one was started in vein

and i really mean that. :-)

[Breeze54]

9. I'm sooooooooooooooooo done with it too!

:puke:

:rofl:

[hang a left]

11. you funny nt

[wtmusic]

12. Sorry, "Imus" has reached critical mass

Surprisingly, it has little to do with the topic itself--more with the number of letters in it.

Four-letter topics are VERY radioactive.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Imus

:evilgrin:

[nam78_two]

16. I don't know what remains to be said that hasn't already been said

People could post in existing threads instead of starting new ones-yet they keep making new threads :eyes:. I don't get it.

Most threads are mirror images of existing ones, yet they go right along and post it. Its borderline trollish at this point.

[hang a left]

18. WTF

are you retarded or something?? Or would you find that trollish....my dear?

[nam78_two]

19. I wasn't talking about you

Since technically this is the first of the "enough of Imus" threads (I think) :shrug:
But there will be more I am sure...

[hang a left]

20. ?

[hang a left]

34. you are hurting my head!!!!

stop it. I say stop it!!

[ShortnFiery]

21. That's the beauty of non-authoritarian message boards.

You want rigid rules and a stifling of free speech, then there's many other boards but they tend to be less than *democratic.*

I love it! Entropy at it's finest. :applause:

Now if you'd like to stifle the Anna Nicole blather, I just may show some empathy, but not for a valid issue. ;)

[nam78_two]

22. The same could be said of Fark

Its not "stifling of free speech" to suggest, on Day 4 of this insanity, that if you just want to say "Imus is like totally cool" or "Imus is a dick" (and there are many threads like that)your idea is not so breathtakingly novel that you couldn't just post it in one of the already existing 300 threads.

[ShortnFiery]

24. Hey, life is imperfect. You want "law and order" then go Authoritarian.

Me? I've always have been a punk at heart.

I love the redundancy of it all ... it makes it REAL not MEMOREX. :rofl:

[nam78_two]

26. Well then the MSM in this media must be really anti-authoritarian

They seem to have NO standards in what they put out and talk about Anna Nicole and "controversial stuff" all day long :shrug:...
They ignore poverty, environmental issues and all that other crap too...

I don't think I am being an authoritarian fascist as you imply because I think there should be some minimal standards for GD.

[ShortnFiery]

27. Why tell us? It's human nature when you lecture someone, they'll just start another thread

about the same topic that you are complaining about. Set the example by not starting one, otherwise provide suggestions to the administration. However, IMO, lecturing the membership is not an effective tactic - Past or present and regardless of the issue. :shrug:

[nam78_two]

29. I didn't -I am posting in an existing one

And I have hardly posted yet on this, so I have an IMUS backlog to clear-I have to reach the DU average on this ;).

I guess it comes down to the psychology of the poster :)-we all tend to assume that others react the same way we do I guess.

If someone posted that postings of a certain kind are annoying and not really helpful, I guess I would try to avoid doing that. Why be annoying just for the sake of being annoying if you aren't actually being helpful, would be my reasoning? But, I guess others could have the rebellious opposite reaction.

But you are right-emailing the mods is probably the best thing to do. I hope they consolidate the billion different threads into one or two broad categories at some point.

[ShortnFiery]

30. Thank you for considering one of my suggestions as valid.

While you're talking to the powers that be, please ask them to also consider "running the trains on time" too? :evilgrin: <tease>

[hang a left]

49. did anyone ever tell you that you were annoying?

ha ha...just kidding

[hang a left]

40. Did I provide a lecture?

I think not. I only exhibited exhaustion of the friggin 1000's of threads attributed to Imus and his nappy headed comment. Which quite frankly I am friggin sick of hearing about.

[ShortnFiery]

41. And you are continuing to add to an IMUS thread.

Now doesn't that sort of trouble you? :crazy: :shrug:

[Reterr]

43. You keep missing the point

that some people might actually care if they hear they are being very irritating and thoughtless, even if its on a message board.
They just might see a message where people are saying they are sick of seeing this spawning of threads and decide to cut it out.

I have seen it happen before...

[hang a left]

50. yeah...

it does

[hang a left]

48. frankly i would tell you to bite me but...

I would get in trouble so I think I will just stay quiet.

[hang a left]

38. You think there should be minimal standards....

like...

Anna Nicole's dna?

[Reterr]

39. Meth can do this to ya.nt

[ShortnFiery]

42. I used to work in addiction counseling if you should need a reference for a friend.

;)

[Reterr]

44. My friends would only be interested if you could help them score some

:P.

[ShortnFiery]

47. I never touched the stuff ... it's pure poison. n/t

[hang a left]

52. score??

yep.

Interested.

[Reterr]

53. Holy shit dude

That was impressive...Off your meds?

Friends don't let friends post drunk...

[hang a left]

54. Nope,

took my meds today... you?

[hang a left]

51. you funny

[hang a left]

37. Is it Imus or is it memorex??

[ShortnFiery]

45. No, it's members who insist that we NOT talk about Imus, talking about Imus.

:rofl:

[Reterr]

25. Exactly

Thank you...Thats my point too.
Non-authoritarian to the extent of becoming irrelevant is not particularly great. I mean should we just start posting about any celebrity garbage here just because it is "authoritarian" not to :shrug:.
I thought DU was formed as an alternative to M$M. If it starts becoming exactly like the msm, then whats the point.
The IMUS issue is valid but do we need so many threads on it that add nothing new but just either repeat whats already been said or are just completely content free? I use dial-up and I get a lot of my news from DU at the end of the day and its nuts when it becomes like this. Yeah, I know...boohoo, big deal..but while I donate I will express my views on simple convenienve related things like this.

[ShortnFiery]

28. And although your protest is noted, people will continue as before.

If anything such threads just add to "the clutter."

Congratulations! You've helped to extend a thread on the topic you like least. ;)

[Reterr]

32. Eh who knows

Maybe one or two people would at least think before posting yet another new thread :shrug:. This thread is only the second thread if this kind I have seen today and so I am posting in it.

[hang a left]

36. On day 4 , I say fark it!

35. stifle Anna Nicolle

just freakin stifle her!!!

I'm sick to death of Imus 24/7 again and again and again. :puke:
