After much soul-searching, after spending some time wallowing in the murky underbelly of the
Hidden Comments section, after seeing that the Daily Kos self-appointed police have stifled nearly every dissenting opinion, rendering discourse impossible, I've decided to call it quits.
It's a shame to leave, because I've been here for a long time. Years and years in fact, some of which occured before this site was created. It used to be such an awesome site, but then, approaching from the horizon, kicking up clouds of dust as they scurried ever closer to our beloved dkos, came the Troll Hunters.
Soon, my comments began disappearing. I don't know where they went, but I know that they were being deleted. There's just no other logical explanation. The Troll Hunters decided that anyone who had an opinion contrary to theirs needed to be taught a lesson. They began to do something called "troll rating" my comments, delivering blow after blow to my mojo. I don't know what mojo is, but I know it was something I had earned with nearly dozens of comments over the years, and it just wasn't fair that they should take mine away simply because I gave an opinion.
For example, before it was deleted, I made this comment:
Go fuck yourself, Eternal Hope (0+ / 231-)
You have idea what the fuck you're talking about. You have your head so far up your ass you had to poke a hole in your bellybutton so you could see.
Why don't you learn a thing or two before trying and have a discussion with me, I don't have time to waste on idiots.

It was in a diary I wrote about how Jews are destroying dailykos and are almost certainly the leaders of the Troll Hunters. I didn't have proof, but all my comments get Troll Rated by the same 10 people all the time. Sometimes they change their names to try and be tricky, but it just proves my point that they're Republican sneaks in disguise.
Anyway, I thought my comment was perfectly fine since it didn't offend ME, so it shouldn't have offended ANYONE. Makes sense right?
Well, I guess some people are offended by everything:
Troll rated for the insult (26+ / 0-)
Please don't use that sort of language. It's not necessary and it's offensive to me.
In the future, I would appreciate it if you would be more careful with your language and stop the personal attacks.
Thank you, and I look forward to debating with you in the future.

What the fuck is THAT about? "Please" and "thank you"? Christ, if THAT'S not inflammatory language and a violation of my First Amendment rights, I don't know what is.
I fully expected Eternal Hope to be troll-rated into oblivion, but people kept recommending her comment! She's the one who started it by saying that I had no "proof" that Jews were behind Troll Hunters, and that there was no gang running around picking on me. She also said some bullshit about her not deleting my comments.
THEN WHERE THE FUCK DID THEY GO, ETERNAL?
Bam! So easy to catch liberals in lies.
Anyway, this just proves that Eternal Hope is one of the leaders of the troll hunters. Everytime I'm making a point and showing people how stupid they are, she's all up in my business giving me zeroes. I wasn't talking to her, what the fuck is she doing in my conversation? Besides, I'm WINNING! I think the LOSERS should be the ones who get troll-rated.
I mean, if this is just going to turn into another right-wing blog, then fuck it. I've got no use for people who troll rate comments they don't like just because they're completely baseless in fact and horribly offensive. Grow up, crybabies.
Like, the other day I posted a diary about something, and then the first comment someone said "This topic is diaried below, please delete."
First, "diaried" isn't a word, idiot. Second, I get one diary a day and you can't tell me how to use it. Then he tells me to look at somehting called the "FAQ's" (which is also not a word--idiot!), but screw that. My diary was way better than the one below, but of course nobody recommended mine because dkos is all a popularity contest. I mean, the guy had like 12 links! Who has time to look through all that shit? My diary had ONE link. All fact, one quick link, nice and easy. None of this overkill with "proof" and "facts."
Seriously, the behavior of people here is seriously making me consider voting Republican. If you can't even be calm and rational while I talk about homosexuality ruining our children, then why do I bother posting here?
It's not fair! It's bullshit! I've collected all the names of all the people who ever troll rated me, and I'm sending them to the guy who owns this site. I promise you, I will not be silenced just because a few people think it's "rude" to call someone a "wack-job fucktard."
Well, if you don't like it, then stop ACTING like a wack-job fucktard. Simple, easy, everyone wins.
I fully expect the Troll Hunters to come here and delete my comments and diary. Fine, do it. Every troll-rating I get just proves that I'm right somehow. I'm not sure how, but it does.
With people like dkos posters and the Troll Hunters running the show, deleting comments and engaging in smear campaigns against anyone who disagrees, the Democrats have no chance.
So, good riddance, dkos. I'm going somewhere where my opinions will be giving the respect and agreement I DEMAND.
