198. Great OP

Mon Sep 2, 2013, 10:51 PM

Sep 2013

Lousy trolls, though. BOG hosts need to clean house big time. At least 4 or 5 - or more - trolls should be banned. They're begging for it anyway. They might not all be in the direct employ of the Kochs, but they're fellow travelers. To crash a group where they're not welcome to spew venom, and then threaten to alert on posts that call them out for it - they're shameful cowards, and I'm not afraid to say so.

My computer's slow this evening, the wifi's slow, and I wonder if DU itself isn't also maybe running slow tonight. It's taken me way over an hour just to finish this thread. Once I post and then try to return to the full thread, it takes forever to wind my way back down the list to where I left off.

But this despicable invasion business is too serious for me to give up.
