DU has not "changed" [View all]

[Soylent Brice]

At least not in the way people tend to insinuate around here.

DU *HAS* changed. Like... some rules here and there. Star membership stuff. Juries. No more Top 10 Conservative Idiots (I'm looking at you EarlG)

But DU is no more awesome and full of super cool, talented, well informed people... and/or troll infested, wackadoodle-laced, and sociopathic internetz freakazoids as it ever was.

I found this oasis of sanity/insane asylum (because duality) back in 2004. I lurked until I joined in 2006. DU is almost identical in terms of atmosphere, fun, shenanigans, wit, and facepalmery.

So... With that said...

I don't really give two shits when someone posts a GBCW as they self-eulogize (I made that up. I like how it sounds.)

As a matter of fact I love that shit. I don't have cable or even regular tv so this is as close to Guiding Light as I'm going to get. I grab some popcorn. I snuggle under a blanket, and laugh my living ass off. Because schadenfreude

But, the best is when they start whining and moaning about "oh this place just isn't the same!!!!!11ONES ZOMG they've ruined DU whinesomemore blahblahblah..."

Okay dude. Like, you'll be back in what 30, maybe 60 days? Okay buddy. *wink

Look, here's the deal. I'll give 2 examples to prove DU is not so fucking radically different.

1. H2O Man
Totally cool. Totally liberal. Totally rocket surgeon smart. TOTALLY nice and respectful.

And there's like a bazillion others like him here.

2. OPERATION MINDCRIME.
A.K.A. OMC
A.K.A. Complete Fucking Sociopath

If you know who that evil little bastard was you don't need an explanation. If you don't know him just search because you won't have any problems finding years worth of unrepentant, vile, horseshit of that herpe of humanity posting here.

And this is my point. Some cool peeps stay. Some leave. Some new ones show up.

Same with trolls, shills, asshats, automatons, and generally unpleasant dillholes. They come, they go, they get TS' ed.

Whatevs.

That's DU. Ironically it's a lot like life. Go figure, the joint is crawling with other people just like in the real world. Shocking - I know - bit its'k. *hug

So if you wanna keep posting obviously not well thought soap box diatribes in the form of a grandstanding Internet suicide note/stomping away/g'bye post... cool with me. I'll don't have DVR but I can bookmark that shit.

Just know that the majority of us who know better know that you're utterly full of shit.
