Democratic Underground "September 11" forum a total nightmare (5 posts)

    I'm fairly sure everyone here is hip to just how bad it is over there. But I took a close look for the first time in a couple of years, since they banned me for the second time, to see what, if anything, might have changed.

    It's exactly the same total chaos I remember. Distraction. Disinfo. Debunkers. The confused. And a couple of stalwart holdouts who refuse to accept that the place is a mental sinkhole.

    Here's an example of what I found:

    "Enough nonsense here-- the WTC towers were nuked"

    http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboa...

    That post is by "spooked911" who seems to have walked the all too familiar path from appearing reasonable to advocating total garbage.

    And in that thread we find that Diane has finally found a place where she is welcome to waste time.

    I started out posting to that forum in 2005. I saw no alternatives and a couple of respectable people were posting there. It was an awful experience, and the TruthMove forum took shape in some part from our interest in avoiding what we saw happening on DU.

    Now between the TruthAction and TruthMove forums I feel a lot better about the alternatives people have who realize that DU is not a healthy place to be.

    It's too bad that so much energy is wasted on forums like this. It is a complete waste of time. I have no doubt that some of these people are deliberately wasting our time. And if they aren't doing it deliberately, the result is the same.

    911blogger also has much improved in my opinion. Trolls are no longer welcome to stalk you from thread to thread. Abusers are put on moderation instead of pretending they aren't ruining the site.

    Some forums are still a mess and allow trolls to post whatever they want. There are even a few forums that seem to be entirely comprised of nothing but trolls.

    Some forums are still a mess and allow trolls to post whatever they want. There are even a few forums that seem to be entirely comprised of nothing but trolls.

    We all do this in our spare time, and many of us are pretty prolific with our internet and forum writings. Imagine if you were getting paid to cause havoc and post as much bullshit as possible. Just one paid/full-time saboteur can really degrade the communication and efficiency of our movement.

    I'm proud that our forum remains essentially troll-free. I think they understand that they are just going to get shut down here.

    it let me create an account but not log in; said i have a cookie problem, but i suspect it's more an IP problem. Took a look at that forum- doubtful anyone looking for truth and justice spends much time on there, though probably lots of sincere people try for a while. What a waste of bytes.
