Who here is a part of the Truthout Kneepad Brigade?
A DUer is accusing some of you of being a part of this group here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1429533&mesg_id=1431111 I'd really like to know because I alerted the mods on that accusation but I take it since the post still stands from last night, being a part of that group is acceptable here. If you don't want to post your answer here, you can pm me. Thanks!

1. LOL-- well, it is pretty funny....
I'd expect this thread to disappear pretty quickly, on the other hand. Calling out the mods is not well regarded.... (not that we haven't all done it on occassion!)

See....you can't truly be cool without a MO jacket.

How about a MO TO jacket?!

5. I don't condemn them as badly as some have
but I do not go down on anyone! :) Well, not JUST anyone, anyway. :P

So where is Colonel Angus, nowadays? :)

8. Tsk tsk tsk! -- So many thing wrong with this thread.
Calling out (drawing negative attention to) another DUer. Calling out the mods. Publicly questioning moderator decisions. Flame bait. Separate continuation of an ongoing argument/flamewar.

18. Ooooh! You're Right... I Forgot To Recommend!! Thanks!!
<< And yet you posts more than once in the thread. >>

Yes... I "posts" more than once. To my knowledge, that's not against any rule.

<< Did you recommend it too? >>

Yes... and I also alerted. How about THEM apples?

32. I didn't see your thread.
But I'm not calling out anyone. I'm asking an honest question.

33. I'm Not Sure Which Thread You're Referring To...
... but I'm fairly certain that THIS thread is indeed calling out another duer, calling out the moderators (publicly questioning their decision not to take action), continuing a flame war outside the original thread, etc etc etc.

16. Well if you say anything that is not
in the line of thinking of some, the phrase tends to pop up... Anyway you say it, it is bad and should be deleted... Ridicule and demeaning someone comes in all shapes and sizes..


The fact that people are laughing about one member ridiculing another shows me what the problem is...

17. I think the Reality-Based Community here on DU is getting a little sick
of the Believers. You know, people who think Santa Claus is going to come down from the North Pole with a sack full of secret indictments.

21. I think that nobody has the right
to judge anyone.. Reality, faith based, gay, or any other way of thinking... Saying that just shows where the problem really is.. Not the believers, not the Reality people, not the wait and see people..


It is the ridicule and condescending people that concerns me.. :shrug:

29. And perhaps it's time for a vultures forum
you people can't seem to get enough. Like childish bullies picking on the poor kid at recess.
Just sickening.

31. Perhaps it is time for the rude
and condescending crowd to go find their own forum as well where they can insult people a thousand different ways with the innuendo and cutesy little remarks and snipes.
