UnOfficial History of DU - Democratic Underground forums

[Nordic]

It was probably in late 2002, maybe early 2003. First place I ever started posting. Haven't given money to a forum since because of that. They can all ban you.

Another member began a thread mocking chemtrail-believing Ron Paul supporters. SpiralHawk's contribution amounted to three, single-line posts, on the order of "use your own faculties to evaluate" the evidence. And that was that.

Wow. He was there a long damn time because even I remember him from way back when!

Well if Boloboffin is a moderator now, that kinda tells you everything, no?

I always figured DU and Kos could have been designed from the very get go to be salt-licks for liberals. But if that's that case, why not let liberals be liberals? Use agent provocateurs to promote revolution, get everybody on board, then find out where everybody lives and works... Its really very strange, this approach. I'm not sure what they get out of it, they seem like geeks with no social skills whose Big Dream is to have Hillary Clinton like them, or something. Morons, in other wordsm

Free Republic is starting to look like a haven for free speech, compared to DU.

Boloboffin is running the DUngeon?

Note, by contrast, the torrent of witless cackling ROFLing posts that came in response. That kind of thick-witted sarcasm is not just perfectly acceptable but positively encouraged there.

DU reminds me of the Pacific Trash Vortex. Are they by any chance related?

No wonder he was banned from DU. He used the word evidence. Serves him right.
