since you don't want the wrong people sullying your site

why not give posters the actual option of deleting their diaries?

what's the deal with owning folks who no longer serve your purpose?

  •  I experimented

    with creating a diary and deleting it. It deleted just fine. I think the diary you have trouble deleting has to do with a) the new diary editor or b) being in the archives.

    •  I deleted an old "pro Kerry" diary last week.

      It was a really bad suggestion on framing, to win over people who were depressed he has won the primary and get them energized.

      Truly badly written.

      One comment (positive, somehow!)

      I yanked it!  Into the memory hole :-)

  •  Miss Devore

    when people used to comment that you were drunk or drugged, i thought it was meanspirited of them.

    i don't think that anymore because i've read your posts long enough now to see the black and white difference between one day and the next --- or between 5 in the afternoon and 10, or 8 pm and midnight or ...

    and there is something seriously wrong here --- and i don't mean with dkos.

    if this were a one time event, it might be different. but it's not. you've been doing this for months, maybe years - you've been doing it for about as long as i've been at dKos, which is years now.

    i have to wonder what kind of satisfaction there is to it.

    and i'm quite serious when i say you need to get help. if you're willing to do this at dKos, the next step is the world. unless you really want to be remembered as a nasty, bitter old drunk.

  •  It's OK, Miss D

    I admire your writing and your wit, and DKos would be a poorer place if you went away.  Never mind the Poison Dwarves.  Stick around, but don't respond to them in any way.

    Fuck them all.

    You're still good in my book.

    DKos is almost done. I suggest leaving the party early, instead of late.

    This is getting tiresome.

    We all have our meltdown moments, but you carry it to the way out machine.

    You remind me of some drama quens who just can't stand for anyone to have a nice day.

    I don't know what this is about, & I refuse to have my mellow harshed.

    I'm still happy that we won.  I'm still considering what dress I'll wear for the 110th New Years' ball.

    I'm still happy.

    prevent you from feeling God's love, no one else is strong enough to give that kind of unconditional love.

        was that Gates wasn't conservative enough.

        Gates denies, for instance, that we've found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Santorum claims that we have. As for the obvious question "Where?" well, he's still working out the answer to that one...

        About the only thing he has left are his conservative loyalty-to-the-prez creds to try to appease his conservative base. If he ever wants another post in politics, or was looking for a nice, big reward like an ambassadorship, or a juicy corporate spot, he's making nice to his masters.

        I think that might explain his vote. Imagine how upset little Ricky must be after his rejection by voters.

            in hippie drag

            one of the greatest one-liners ever in a movie.

            chloe webb was robbed of the oscar -- her nancy spungen was brilliant.

            and who can forget:

            "blaze of glory, sid..."
            and
            "what about the farewell drugs, sid?"
            and
            "OK, do you want me to blow you now?"

            there are moments in that movie so gorgeous that they almost betray the movie's seedy and tragically violent end.  like when sid and nancy are kissing while the score of the movie at this time is an instrumental by the pogues -- "junk" or maybe it was the pray for rain song "garbage kills"  i don't recall exactly which one but anyway -- is on screen and then you see the two lovers being showered by garbage...  yet alex cox makes the scene seem so beautiful for that brief moment -- and then you realize they're being showered by garbage...

            one of my top 20 movies of all time.

            _______________

            it's their screen name because they couldn't figure out how to spell "moran."

  •  Relax

    It's all yours now.

    The fact you've been driven online doesn't change anything.

      •  Sheesh

        It's like being in a circus tent with 15 boxing matches going on ... in the dark.

        Bleh.

        •  They're over.

          This is my last comment on Daily Kos.

          I do admire you still though. =)

          Have fun everyone! Best of luck in 2008!

            •  peeder is angry that ...

              ... oh heck. it's not worth it. but i'll try.

              basically, peeder wanted his policies for the site but those policies went against the wishes of kos, as far as i can tell. and kos said so publicly. in addition, peeder has been stalking Elise because he wanted his way, and kos told him he (kos) approves of what Elise is doing, but not what peeder wanted

              so peeder's power play failed. pretty classic GBCW. ::sigh::

          •  Now this is REALLY sad

            Tragic, even.

            Peeder, you've made me sad.

          •  I hesitate to ask why, especially because

            it wouldn't be fair when you said that was your last comment, but oh well.

            Is it only because others disagree with you from time to time (as I did the other day)? Or is there something deeper than that?

          •  ciao

            Not that I hope you mean it but as someone who has repeatedly stated that once a GBCW is done, the poster should really mean it and truly leave if that is his desire.

            •  especially given ...

              ... a certain someone whose UID begins with p and ends with r went for the throat of another dKossian over this very issue

          •  thanks, good bye

            Thanks for all the hard work peeder. I still remember the time when you jumped in and offered me advice on how to do a

            quotebox.

          •  I'm very sorry to hear this, peeder

            You're one of my favorite Kossacks.

            Damn, the officious idiots keep driving the interesting people away...

            •  so true

              not that we couldn't see this boiling up for a while but it seems to have fully exploded over the past couple of weeks.

          •  Bye Peeder

            I haven't been here long but you seem like a pretty good guy.

          •  I am sorry to read this

            peeder. I enjoyed your p.o.v.

          •  Don't go, peeder!

            I want you to stay.

            I've had my meltdowns here, one a year last count.  Take a break & come back.  

            I'll keep the lights on.
