A fetid catchbasin. Where the flushed bits go!

It probably provides a bit of revenue, too, and it does take the heat off this place to no small extent. I can't imagine all that crap popping up here, in sockpuppet after sockpuppet.

I am guessing they can figure out who is who from there to here, as well. These people who change their names and spout offensive comments over there might be affecting a new persona on that side of the fence, but the admins know who they are there, and here.

I guess they don't realize that the admins are like Big Brother over both sites...? MADem Aug 2014 #1

I think that's what got Bob so riled up BainsBane Aug 2014 #2

I'm with you on the inability to understand that fixation with screwing with strangers online BainsBane Aug 2014 #21

I figure most people are a product of their life experience. MADem Aug 2014 #26

That is the problem with that kind of bigoted discussion online BainsBane Aug 2014 #31

There is a prime example of what I meant herein above. chervilant Aug 2014 #81

Whoever alerted (not I) probably because calling out the admins is not permitted HERVEPA Aug 2014 #93

Did you see the rape threats against specific members here? BainsBane Sep 2014 #94

If the Admins know of someone who is on this site making rape threats, they should be removed. HERVEPA Sep 2014 #96

Why have you chosen not to answer my question? BainsBane Sep 2014 #100

What do they get out of it? theHandpuppet Aug 2014 #62

Yes--a moment of POWER and CONTROL. Everyone stops, and pays ATTENTION to them! nt MADem Aug 2014 #63

You can't have a good discussion when it gets down to that level of smarmy retorts cui bono Aug 2014 #46

I'm with you on this past year. Unbelievable. So I won't put up abuse here. freshwest Sep 2014 #105

That assumes the Admins care about that sort of thing. cyberswede Aug 2014 #65

And that's a pretty big assumption, given the level of care they show for the issue on DU Scootaloo Sep 2014 #126

I just asked Skinner in ATA if discussionist profits financially from DU ismnotwasm Sep 2014 #103

That at least is comforting BainsBane Sep 2014 #120

this thread op hlthe2b Sep 2014 #121

I find an incredible disconnect BainsBane Sep 2014 #122
