That makes sense.

Those were two bad ones. I wonder what the final straw was?

nailed it. Seriously- totally nailed it!

Or that they were previously banned trolls?

being trolled by el_johns. . .

Despite the attempts by some to make "hay" with our blocked list and totals...

I wonder, especially what finally "did in" loli phabay...

I never encountered El_Johns.

RW misogynist, racist creep. As far as I'm concerned.

and fiercely pro-Woody Allen. Basically just plain gross.

according to Sid. He posted that on Facebook on January 12. Like or dislike him, he's an excellent zombie hunter.

Why was he banned before?

And who was loli a sock for? Do you know?

Truly disgusting.

If I remember correctly.

Male or female? Anyone know?

You know. I don't really believe that. I had conversation with point HIPointDem and El_Johns, and while I disagree strongly with what El_Johns wrote, his analytical and reasoning skills were much greater than HiPointDem's, who couldn't construct an argument to save his or her life.

in the post right above you.

I know I am Johnny Come Lately to this group and, got here by default and all. But, really WTF just happened ... ?

Some of us work for a living ... and I have had a perfectly shitty day.

I am pretty happy over all about what I have seen taking place on the board.

About fucking time and I hope there is more to come. And I am not kidding about that. I can not believe I have watched this place sink so low. Used to be one of the best sites on the web.

Honestly, sea ... shoot me a PM if need be ... but - what did you all get figured out up above that needed deleting?

Looks like the top one was a Mens Group regular.

They had to have known loliphabay was previously banned for sometime. It's possible El_Johns had gone unnoticed, but not loli. He's been here too long. I think there must have been a failed alert or Earl G read something in the threads that led him to say enough is enough.

DD3 standards have sunk so low that a lot of returning trolls meet community standards and are no longer considered disruptive and as long as returnees are not considered disruptive they are allowed to stay.

The jury thing is what bugs me.

Also, I think 100 post count may be set too low for MIRt.

I would consider going higher 250 ... maybe.

Giving newbies the benefit of doubt and all.

There are some obvious Republican/Libertarian ideologues being given Much leeway and Tolerance on DU3.

Two of them did have direct knowledge that Loli was previously banned and working under the guise of a sock.

On edit: reading further into the thread, it appears that enough of the story has been collated here to offer a pretty good indication of what happened, so anything further from me would be redundant.

I think you can probably share info through PMs, but you of course must exercise your own judgment.

do they lose their position on MIRT?

I have no idea. How could you prove they knew?

now. people were pissed. but no, not kicked out.

i have known people are sock and i do not feel right snitching nor saying nothing when on mirt.

that is delicate cause, skinner has stated that a person can come back and if behaves then meh... but some get kicked off right away.

so i kinda sit with, ya i know a sock, when the name comes up. otherwise saying nothing.

very hard to get it right, i think

i knew loli was vadawg. i think many did.

A request for IP check? A laundry list of negative posts?

I see that neither one currently has a Hidden post.

Here is the part that irks me the most - loli has served on 121 juries.

Confirmed he was a previously banned homophobic.

sigh...

Bet I am not the only one.

comes into full focus.

I am retired and have the time.

but you wisely self deleted it. I'll reply to that here.

That facebook post was the last thing I've seen him post.

There's only one active zombie, or sock, that I know for sure. She's been banned twice and has been back since DU3 started. I confirmed this with her in Meta, long ago. She has had me on ignore since then. It's not BK and I won't disclose who it is.

I'm sure there are a lot of active socks and zombies, but like everybody else, I just have my suspicions. If Sid posts something, you can pretty much take it to the bank, though. Sometimes it's just saying hi and the waving emoticon. That's what he did with hawkeyeX's most recent zombie. It was pretty funny to see hawkeye whine about it on Facebook.

Let me know if anything changes.

It occurs to me that we're all a lot older and wiser than we were when DU first got cranked up.

Kudos, Mr. Allen.

I believe he was vadawg. I don't remember him from before.

Sexist, homophobe, troll. Looks like Skinner and Earlg are getting serious about cleaning house.

William linked in his ATA post.

to ask he he was under review.

I have another one for the returned Troll list.

Hopefully, a wake up call for some of the nastier posters.

had the privilege of serving on 128 Juries.

taking jury comments into consideration, looking at the whole picture.

I did a spot check of the recently removed members and noticed that for the most part they stay just below the nuke radar so it it occurred to me that they may be looking at their Alerting history.

And said this

They sometimes reference their banned trolls. The problem it is hard to know if they are on the level or engaged in some disinformation game.

It got Skinner and EarlG to sit up and take notice, that's for sure! It was like a mass lemming drive going further and further to the right in reaction to people's calm and reasoned objection to the T&A threads, and they couldn't help themselves, I guess.

I'm glad they stated outright that Egalitarian(Ha!)_Thug was banned for being a homophobe - the LGBTQ crowd has had to suffer through so many homophobic threads in the last half year, like the Sochi Olympics, salvation army, Pope Francis threads (and I say that as a devout Catholic - I can recognize bigotry even when it reflects badly on me and my group) that they deserve to have it affirmed that there are homophobes posting on DU.

So relate to that very well.

I don't seem to have the internal circuitry for religious faith, but I support her-- she sounds much like you do.

(But my next thought is: "Don't stop there! Keep the momentum going!&quot

as it devolved into something that reminded me of a little kid responding with "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" to every question.

The surgery needed on DU3 is major and the knife should cut wide and deep.
I have never grave danced like this before but, the place is infested and, stinks to high heaven.
I really do hope this is just the beginning and that there are more coming.

I can not believe that some of you knew these were zombies and did nothing.

then he kicks people off and we ask for clarity. when that person HH comes back, do we go after him? HH gets tos'ed every time.

he does not make the rules clear at all. that is why when X got kicked off it was like, why? she behaved. skinner said, behave, you can stay. yet, some people cant stay.

who the fuck knows.

i think there was even a thread where it was discussed loli was vadawg.

There's no way they'll let him back. The rest? I don't know

they behave, they are left alone. i can name ten men today with different names, that are returnees. not to mention the ones with a couple hundred posts for ten years, that pop up just every once in a while to throw a jab.

one of HOF's, and in particular sea's, most avid fans had another nasty flame out. Old and In The Way's hate filled transparency page is on display.

That one is something...

One I certainly won't miss during his exile...

i do not really buy into that. the last time was an Op dissing me particularly, in an ugly manner, and hof in general. jury let stand. a long thread of ugly insults. and took too long for host to hide.

the reasoning? the man was drunk. i should be accommodating toward the insults directed at me.

so that excuse simply does not fly with me any more.

is the vicious hatred eating at his insides.

I hate to speculate, but his behavior is pretty stereotypical...

at least i understand what he is doing there. but that beer thread? totally over my head. i did get the part about red wine, and dissing me... well, i got that he was dissing me. not really seeing how it was a diss.

he is cute though isnt he, lol.

even if he does end up being banned under this persona...(given his obsession with this group and with sea)

That was epic! he needs to put the booze down. Geez-o-peat!

Drunk posting never a good idea. But, honestly, *so* not sorry he's on "vacation"

their wife. my hubby doesnt do social network but i was thinking, if he did this then came to bed, ... and i knew? it left an impression.

i mean if you are treating a woman like filth, would that extend for at least a period, in a persons thinking? we hear that hearing sexist jokes stays with men and effects how they would dole out govt money and women issues take a huge cut. i read about a study feeding men porn then putting them in the work space, and for about an hour they crowded into the womans personal space.

hence, why i thought about what i did.

and I wouldn't post crap like that. I would get silly though.

Alcohol doesn't change who people are. It only loosens their inhibitions.

I think he is just an angry person in general.

yellow snow when there is beer

That thread was a crash and burn.

I had with an admirer of his. The subthread begins here. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4597724

All worked up about the loss of his BFF.
