In this DUmmie THREAD titled, “OK, I changed the name back,” Dummieland’s Chief, Skinner, berates his fellow DUmmies for being a bunch of petty whiners for not wanting to let go of the “2004 Election Results and Discussion” forum name. Apparently the DUmmies can’t move on. They have to continue reliving the 2004 election over and over and over again. What’s next DUmmies? A “2000 Election Results and Discussion” forum? You can find the genesis of reverting back to the old outmoded name in this whine-filled DUmmie THREAD titled, “I miss the old name...This doesn't feel like ‘Home.’” Read the latter thread for yourselves but you can see the reluctance to let go of the name change in this comment by DUmmie imaginary girl: “I think changing the name is making some of us feel that we're being forced to let go of our hopes of this election somehow being overturned…” Now let us lead off this edition of the DUFUs with an extremely peeved Skinner berating the DUmmies. As usual, the DUmmie whines are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching Skinner change DUmmie diapers, is in the [brackets]:
OK, I changed the name back. This forum is now called 2004 Election Results and Discussion.
[AGAIN? Can’t your fellow DUmmies LET GO, Skinner?]
I am instructing the moderators to NOT MOVE ANYTHING out of this forum, even if it does not have anything to do with the topic of the forum. Want to talk about the Condi Rice nomination? Go for it. Apparently nobody here has noticed that it has nothing to do with 2004 Election Results and Discussion. But that's not my problem.
[And it’s not my problem that you have to change the soiled diapers of your fellow DUmmies, Skinner, who are so babyish that they can’t let go of the fact that the 2004 election is OVER. But don’t worry. Your DUmmies will somehow try to connect the Condi Rice nomination back to the 2004 election. Somehow I have a feeling they will even connect the SuperBowl results back to the 2004 election.]
I must admit I am shaking my head in disbelief at the lack of perspective displayed over this. It makes absolutely no sense. But I guess we've always known that DUers are very resistant to change.
[We know that, Skinner. Bunch of friggin’ whining crybabies who just can’t accept the 2004 election results.]
Everything is back to the way it was before. And by the way: before you start celebrating or complaining, I am extremely disappointed with the behavior of some people on both sides of this debate. I cannot believe that something as inconsequential as a name change has caused you to act in an absolutely disgraceful manner, and I strongly suggest that you modify your behavior immediately.
[Spank them and make them go to bed without dinner, Skinner. BTW, I had to laugh out loud at your vain request that the DUmmies “modify” their behavior. Face it, Skinner. Your crybabying DUmmies are a bunch of pathetic whiners NOW and they ALWAYS will be.]
If anyone has anything to add, post it in the Ask the Administrators forum. The moderators HAVE been instructed to lock any further topics debating this issue.
[SNIFF! No more DUmmie debates about keeping an outmoded name change. But don’t worry, Skinner, we will keep that pathetic debate ALIVE in the DUmmie Funnies. And now on to watching the other DUmmies celebrating the fact that the forum name has been reverted back. Too bad you all can’t celebrate the RESULTS of the 2004 election.]
I love you, Skinner. Thank-you
[OH BLESS YOU! BLESS YOU, Skinner, for reverting back to the antiquated forum name. I shall slobber all over your posterior in gratefulness over your meaningless gesture toward our useless obsession.]
that forum name has become an anchor for our feelings about the events of the past election. something very treasured that we all worked for together. It was very thoughtful of you and the other admins to relent to our wishes.
[It was soooo thoughtful of you, Skinner, to cave in to our utterly ridiculous obsession over not letting go of the 2004 election. Pull down your pants again. I too want to slobber all over your posterior for making me feel like a semi-human again!]
ool! Thank you! I was all discombobulated! I felt like my whole reality had somehow done kind of a matrix move lol
[Better to live in the Matrix UnReality of the 2004 Election Past than live in the REALITY of 2005.]
Condi's hearings do involve election reform. Boxer is our voice in the senate regarding election reform and she is the only dem with back bone. We have to watch her back and remain aware of her stances so that we can be supportive of her.
[CAN’T LET GO! CAN’T LET GO! MUST CONNECT EVERYTHING IN 2005 TO THE 2004 ELECTION RESULTS NO MATTER HOW STUPID IT MIGHT SEEM! CAN’T LET GO!]
The winds of change are blowing...do you feel the breeze?
[No but I do smell your flatulence.]
We form a community that is why this forum is different than the others, that is why there is so much energy here we have access to the greatest knowledge bank the world has ever known, the Internet and working as a collective. we learn further and faster than one person sifting through the web and DU forums could ever hope to this is our Living Brainstorm. do not doubt our ability to affect change through this medium. This is the Future of Human Intercommunication...
[You force Skinner to reinstate a dopey outdated DUmmie forum name and you act like this is evidence of the DAWNING OF A NEW AGE?]
Condoleezza Rice might not be directly connected to the issue of election fraud but the senators opposing her are showing some guts. And for me that is what we'll need for election reform. The democrats are gearing up I think. Opposing Dr. Rice is a step we need to support. Those same Senators and Representatives will also hopefuly be on our side for election reform changes.
[YAWN! Nice stretch but you might as well connect Condi Rice to the 1904 election results. Same relevance.]
I'm relieved to see the name back. I thought the name change represented an end to investigation/discussion of the 2004 selection and I wasn't really ready for that.
[I broke out in hives when Skinner dropped that forum name. Now that it has changed back, I can sleep again.]
Thanks, Skinner. The 2004 election ain't over ... until the votes have REALLY been counted and the election thieves have been locked up. Appreciate your decision to change the name back. Even we tin-foil-hatters appreciate a little stability in our lives.
[Just can’t LET GO, can you?]
It's not about the forum name change. It's about how the political scene--for instance, Boxer's challenge of the Rice nomination, following her challenge of the Ohio Electors, and the progressive coalition she is creating--will impact potential Election Reform. We cannot get Election Reform in a vacuum. (We cannot depend on Congress for Election Reform--too many BushCons--but Congressional progressives can play a vital role in investigation and public education.)
[It sounds like you want to lock tongues with Barbara Boxer.]
Sure, Skinner, if GW had lost, Condi would still be Secretary of State, right?
ATTENTION DUmbocrats: The inauguration has already happened. It's over, America won and you lost. Put the crack pipe down and get used to saying President Bush for another four years.
[Spank them and make them go to bed without dinner, Skinner.]
Better yet, take away their computer and their Nintendo for a week. That'll teach 'em.
Wow, they are the Borg! Veeewwwy scawwwy! LOL
[ool! Thank you! I was all discombobulated! I felt like my whole reality had somehow done kind of a matrix move lol ]
Too. Pathetic. For. Words.
All 13 of them...Only one or two are up for election next midterm. They are counting on the short attention span of their 'Rat constituency.
I realize the dictionary definition don't really apply any longer, but wouldn't being resistant to change make them the opposite of liberal... OMG DUmmies are the real neocons!
Visualize your own recombobulated non-Matrix reality.
When have the DUmmies EVER acted in anything OTHER than a disgraceful manner? That's their...idiom.
We need to support the opposition.
We need to oppose the support.
Being negative is a positive move.
We positively cannot move on.
Dang it, Madam, you have to be careful.
I know it's hard; I've been there about six months, and posted "less than 400" messages, but the deal is to take it slowly and easily, not losing it until it can mean something.
I was so sickened by those freaks - I just had to get out.
When they were saying they hope the US loses in the war and the insurgents were freedom fighters who equated to Paul Revere - I thought I would puke.
I'm done - must stay away from the sickness that is DU.
But the content of this particular thread almost has me thinking YOU should come up with a new name for your list, because these DUmmies are freaking SAD! I was bowled over right away with the comment that one of the posters wanted the old name back because it "didn't feel like home". Whaaa?!? Is this chick 12?
I have a feeling that if the equivalent thread happened here it would be shut down and if someone started a complaint thread the admin would say "The election's done, get over it."
DUmmie FUnnies is my favorite PING! list, but lately it sure ain't been funny! (Not YOUR fault, but their pathetic whining.)
The other day (no thread kept, sorry), the DUmmies were even calculating that George McGovern had really beat Richard Nixon in 1972 (yes!!!!! they said that), and that in the fine state of Georgia, the votes should have been recounted in the 1984 presidential race, because the victory by Ronald Reagan was "within the margin of error."
Twenty-one (21) percent is one Hades of a "margin of error."
Times they are a changin.
that is why there is so much energy here we have access to the greatest knowledge bank the world has ever known, the Internet and working as a collective. we learn further and faster than one person
That whole thing is very Borg which is hysterical since they accuse "fundies" and conservatives of not being able to think for themselves. Plus punctuation and grammar aren't their strong suit, something I think they'd share with the Borg. I wonder how many finished 8th grade language class?
Barbara Boxer is deeply saddened.
Yes, it takes tremendous fortitude to be able to hang in there with the DUmmies and subtly yank their chains without being discovered. I tried debating them directly while still being somewhat conciliatory. Got me nowhere. These lemmings don't want debate, they want an "Amen!" chorus.
I was never tombstoned, but my account has been inactive for maybe a year or more, I think (not sure). They called me a "freeper" then. I wasn't then, but I sure am now!
in DUmmieville. Mighty Skinner has caved to the crybabies.PJ, in my humble opinion, this is the best DUFU since the "I believe!" threads. Maybe I just find delusion just too amusing. HeeHee.
