Who Dugg It?

Minarchian, on 01/02/2008, -13/+14I would like to see a tool that shows who are burying.
- RogerStrong, on 01/02/2008, -11/+18I suppose you also want a tool that shows who voted against Ron Paul in the next election, so you can accuse them of being part of "the conspiracy".
  
  Buried.
- onetimer, on 01/02/2008, -6/+13Why, so you extra crazy paul supporters (yes, a fringe within a fringe) can go around in retaliation and counter-bury/digg down/stalk people that bury paul spam? Don't say it wouldn't happen. Hell, herkimer already has a stalker.
  - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -8/+14Three of them actually. I think of them as my posse.
    - adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -10/+9Don't associate me as being part of your 'posse'.
      I just think you are a tool
      - onetimer, on 01/02/2008, -6/+15Yet you follow him around every where he goes. Mind you, you never actually refute his points, but often result to calling him a fat slob or something along those lines.
        
        You seem to be pretty dead set on this "fat slob" accusation. Freudian Projection much?
      - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -7/+13I wasn't referring to you, adam. I think of you more as a mangy, stray dog that follows me around begging for attention.
  - Humptydank, on 01/02/2008, -6/+14You have three stalkers?!
    
    Now I'm disappointed. I put in so much goddamn effort and I still don't even have one.
    
    These Ron Paul people are showing me no ***** respect.
    - BottledSunshine, on 01/02/2008, -5/+12Sigh, I don't have any stalkers either. What am I doing wrong?
    - jcm267, on 01/02/2008, -5/+12I have stalkers! ringelman5 and card51short are the most dedicated stalkers of mine. Brappie was stalking me for a little bit, same goes for Zzeke, kayaker712 and his wife.
      
      They often go into dead submissions just to reply to my comments and "get the last word in".
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -5/+3I have never stalked you...you stalk ME all over the internet, you are such a die-hard fan-boy--yes, he's a fan of mine, but I am supposedly his stalker. Uh huh...that's standard JerkCircleMomma logic, right there. Do I have to start (fanatically) taking screen shots and posting them like you do?
        
        Get over yourself, child.
      - jcm267, on 01/03/2008, -3/+6Brappie, I don't feel like dragging out the threads. After I made your "mate" cry you followed me around into dead threads to get the last word in for about 2 weeks.
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -5/+3You are full of *****, Momma. Drag away....
      - onetimer, on 01/03/2008, -2/+6Brap have you captured any of those shapeshifting reptilian overlords yet?
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -5/+2HAHAHA! You are such a funny guy. To someone. I'm sure.
      - onetimer, on 01/03/2008, -2/+5Your words provide me with a days worth of humor
        
        Do you think I'M a reptilian overlord?
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -3/+2@onetimer: No, I just think yer stoopid. I think Hillary is pretty lizard-like, tho.
    - onetimer, on 01/02/2008, -6/+9For a while that Hippochrons (I don't remember his name exactly) followed me around for a while, copying and pasting some minor arithmetic mistake I made, even though it had occurred days ago and was irrelevant. I'm pretty sure he got banned.
      
      No stalkers since then, though (although card51short will occasionally search my profile for comments to troll). I DID get that mention on FemaCampers blog a while back. Guess I need to try harder. Going to be hard to find anyone when all the paul articles stop in early February....
      - jcm267, on 01/02/2008, -5/+9The Prisonplanet submissions won't be going away...
    - Hortnon, on 01/02/2008, -7/+8Don't think I've ever had any stalkers. Maybe card for a bit, or ringel. Nothing too obsessive though.
    - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -6/+8Brappie was following me around for a while, too, but he suddenly stopped. I have no idea why. : )
      Why don't one of you guys take adam1mc? He seems to be in need of attention. He's not very bright and his vocabulary is pretty limited but he does seem to have the makings of a dedicated stalker. He added me to his friends list just today so I expect I'll be seeing more of his slime trails wherever I go.
      - adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -6/+10I'm here for the taking.. Herkimer is boring. He never has anything witty or smart to say.
        
        For a while I was trolling around after AntiPaul but he... I mean SHE (CATE) hasn't been on in days now.
      - jcm267, on 01/03/2008, -4/+8I've already added nickbetzold to my friends list today, but I guess I can afford to toss in adam1mc.
      - ssn697, on 01/03/2008, -4/+9I'd have to drink too often, and too much, to get down to adam's level. I have a liver to consider...
      - Herkimer56, on 01/03/2008, -5/+8I don't think that liquor alone would do it. I think it would require actual brain damage of some kind.
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -5/+3@Herk: I stopped following you around as soon as it was apparent that you went in a circle, which you do. I prefer more linear approaches to living than chaining myself to a couple of subjects and defending them like a fanatic.
      - ssn697, on 01/03/2008, -2/+5"I prefer more linear approaches to living than chaining myself to a couple of subjects and defending them like a fanatic."
        
        Says Captain Chemtrail...
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -3/+2@ssn: Uh...that's ONE subject, yep. Can you find another or are you blind, as well as stoopid?
        
        (For others tuning in late, this dink insisted I was my wife. As well as other retarded, unfounded things....)
- InRussetShadows, on 01/02/2008, -7/+10No, I think he's right. It's good to see who buries stuff. It's just another indication of their character.
  - ssn697, on 01/03/2008, -5/+9It is MUCH easier to get a judge of someone's "character" by looking at their Digg's. You know, 95% Ron Paul stories, and the other 5% anti "other candidates I hate"?!?!?
    
    Quite the varied life style...

- Jimmyb207, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2Minarchian, you can start by looking up 'ron paul bury brigade' he or it is giving orders to all of the "Bury Bitches" on digg. you will find all of the friends there.Keep an eye where they go. good place to start.
cvaty, on 01/02/2008, -7/+13to sum up this movie: don't just digg -> favorite!
the author seems to think: Favorite = - (Bury)

so the two counter-act eachother.... like..
(i'll leave the rest up to you)
reed311, on 01/02/2008, -14/+19Your Ron Paul news is still available at dedicated Ron Paul sites. Digg is not the appropriate place to beg for donations or give daily conspiracy theories about how Ron Paul is being held down by the man. Many people are sick of it.
- nickbetzold, on 01/02/2008, -12/+12Maybe you're right. I guess I'm glad you've decided for us what's appropriate and what's not. I guess we just thought you might try ignoring the submissions you are "sick of." Crazy us. Go back to looking for stories about Radiohead--you know, like the one you helped the Digg community locate on yahoo. Thank goodness we have your eyes searching the Internet for good, juicy, appropriate stuff!
  - chaosium, on 01/02/2008, -6/+17"I guess I'm glad you've decided for us what's appropriate and what's not"
    
    You should probably go back to Web 1.0 because you're clueless as to how community news sites work.
    - bteiv, on 01/02/2008, -9/+5What? You thought I was being sarcastic? No, really, I think it's great that a small group of users can bury stories that are important to a large group of users. Web 2.0 at its finest. Doesn't give you warm chaos-y fuzzies?
      - nickbetzold, on 01/02/2008, -8/+7Please, let me answer these morons myself ;)
      - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -7/+14Why are you assuming that the Ronbots are a large group of users? Numbers would seem to indicate otherwise. There are far more sane, rational people on Digg then there are Ronbots. You people are just an aggressively obnoxious minority.
      - captoftheworld, on 01/03/2008, -5/+4http://digg.com/elections/
        
        Minority?
      - Hortnon, on 01/03/2008, -5/+4By my math 26,000 people have friended people that aren't Ron Paul, and 16,489 have friended Paul.
        
        So yeah, minority.
      - jcm267, on 01/03/2008, -4/+5And let's not forget the people who don't care enough to pick a digg candidate but who are going to vote anyways! And just how many of those Ron Paul fans are even from the USA?
      - Herkimer56, on 01/03/2008, -5/+6And how many of them are old enough to vote?
      - onetimer, on 01/03/2008, -4/+7I doubt for a second that conceptkid is. At least, any adult who still isn't sure what the population of the US is, even roughly (concept was thinking it was around 1 billion), shouldn't be allowed to vote.
    - adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -9/+9obviously you are too. This story was submitted under the 2008 elections section.. The EXACT place to put Ron Paul news. If you don't want to see the stories, then don't visit the section.
    - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -9/+11Actually, Ron Paul stories should go under Offbeat news. That's where you find the stories about the kooks and crazy people.
  - CaptainNoPants, on 01/02/2008, -6/+14first visit to digg, nick? it's probably about time you figured out how this works.
    - nickbetzold, on 01/02/2008, -9/+7I don't communicate with strange---rs who aren't wearing pants.
    - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -7/+12Now there's a totally pointless and lame comeback. Did you come up with that by yourself or did you need bteiv to help you again?
      - nickbetzold, on 01/02/2008, -11/+8Thanks for reading our comments. This is working out just as I hoped it would. Where's AntiPaul?
  - adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -7/+7Yes, where is AntiPaul lately
Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -14/+16Buried as lame, duplicate spam.
- adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -10/+11You are an idiot Herk. You ding-a-ling "bury brigade" brats say this story is spam because it posted twice.
  
  Hey dumbass... This isn't the fault of the user.. this is a Digg bug. That's why you goons always think the stories are spam..
  
  Have you ever tried to submit a story to digg? By looking at your profile the only thing you do is comment on Ron Paul stories. If you knew any better, you'd know that digg won't allow the same URL to be posted twice. But you are a tool.. therefore you don't know that and you also don't know about the bug.
  
  So quit citing spam... You are just a lonely troll.
  - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -7/+10This story is spam because it's pointless crap. Much like your comments.
    - adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -3/+6Much like your entire life.... Pointless crap
  - jcm267, on 01/02/2008, -4/+5Actually, retard, this story was submitted at least twice because nick uploaded this video to Youtube twice and submitted this to digg each time.
- nickbetzold, on 01/02/2008, -3/+6"Now there's a totally pointless and lame comeback. Did you come up with that by yourself or did you..." Oh, that's right you're part of a vast heard of anti-paul-botters who come up with these catchy comebacks all on their own!
  - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -8/+5Awwwww.......Looks like I pissed off another soulless, humorless Ronbot.
Big1984Brother, on 01/02/2008, -9/+10Go to: http://digg.com/elections/

This explains why stories about Ron Paul, Obama, and Kucinich dominate the political news. There isn’t a small cabal of Paul spammers conspiring to digg stories about him. There simply are a lot of people on digg who are interested in the Paul campaign. People are interested in him, and that’s why his stories get dugg. If people wanted to hear news stories about Romney, Giuliani, or Clinton, they wouldn’t be going to an “alternative news” site such as digg.

On the other hand, the IS a small cabal of anti-paulers who try to bury every single story. I’m not sure what their problem is. If they don’t care about this election, they can easily scroll on down to the next story. Nobody is forcing them to read any of these articles.

I guess it bothers them that the content of digg differs from that of the corporate media. But, isn’t that why people come to digg the first place? News by the people, for the people, and all that?
- KMye, on 01/02/2008, -5/+10"There simply are a lot of people on digg who are interested in the Paul campaign."
  
  Correction, there are a lot of people who *came* to digg *because of* the Paul camaign.
  - nickbetzold, on 01/02/2008, -5/+7And? You think someone else owned this site before Ron Paul became news? I think digg's shareholders would like as many people to come to digg as possible. If not, they should just print it in the front page: Ron Paul Supporters Not Welcome, signed Kevin Rose, et al
    - jcm267, on 01/02/2008, -5/+9So if this site was overrun by 9/11 Truthers or White Supremacists you think that Kevin Rose and co. would have no problem with that?
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -2/+5Interesting ploy...equating people with honest questions to racist fanatics. Yep, just a bit more of that famous jcm logic.
      - jcm267, on 01/03/2008, -5/+3They're only Ron Paul's two biggest groups of supporters, Brappie. Did you miss what I was trying to do there?
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -2/+5No, I pointed at it, Momma.
- vault, on 01/02/2008, -6/+9No, there are a lot of people who are tired of the rampant Ron Paul spam... and it's not just confined to the elections category http://digg.com/celebrity/ALL_of_Kim_Kardashian_wi ...
  
  That kind of thing happens all the time. Most of the Paul articles are dupes of the same article just on different sites, or simply a link to a poll, etc. People are tired of it. There is no one on digg who hasn't been the victim of your spam so far...all you're doing is pissing undecided voters off at this point.
  - nickbetzold, on 01/02/2008, -7/+6So thank you. The more of our stories you bury, the easier it will be to reach unpissed-off uncommitted voters for Ron Paul! I finally get it. Oh, and thank you.
    - vault, on 01/02/2008, -5/+9You're welcome (twice).
adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -7/+10Herkimer don't you have anything better to do with your remaining days besides sit here on digg being ridiculed?
thenativeraver, on 01/02/2008, -10/+10Buried.
jcm267, on 01/02/2008, -10/+10http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/How_to_Bury_ ...

This is a duplicate. This knuckle dragger reuploaded this video to Youtube just so he could submit it to digg again. Buried and reported.
- adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -8/+6duplicate comment? Spam much maybe?
  
  You are an idiot Herk. You ding-a-ling "bury brigade" brats say this story is spam because it posted twice.
  
  Hey dumbass... This isn't the fault of the user.. this is a Digg bug. That's why you goons always think the stories are spam..
  
  Have you ever tried to submit a story to digg? By looking at your profile the only thing you do is comment on Ron Paul stories.

  So quit citing spam... You are just a lonely troll.
  - onetimer, on 01/02/2008, -6/+9Haha. Did you even read who posted before resulting to childish name calling of herkimer? Or are you copying and pasting your "insults" now as well?
    - adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -6/+4I just copied and pasted the same response.. Since it was a duplicate and all
  - jcm267, on 01/02/2008, -6/+10lol@adam.
    
    Is your handle supposed to mean "Adam is the #1 MC!"??? If so, then I'd have to say you need have a little contest with card51short!
    - chaosium, on 01/02/2008, -5/+9Truther rap battles are the shizz.
    - adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -5/+5no.. it's a real username. I'm not scared to hide behind an alias.
    - Herkimer56, on 01/02/2008, -6/+7I wondered at first if adam1mc wasn't card51short because he didn't appear until after I had put card on my ignore list but now I'm not so sure. At least card can be funny sometimes and he's unquestionably brighter than adam so I'm pretty convinced that they're not the same person.
      - adam1mc, on 01/02/2008, -5/+7I'm just annoyed by your antics Herk.
        I have plenty of time to kill. I am just doing what you do.
        
        Name call, annoying, troll, follow people around..
        
        Same exact thing that you do my friend.
      - Herkimer56, on 01/03/2008, -6/+8Speaking of knuckle draggers, adam's back. Bad news, sparky, I don't follow anyone around. There are simply not enough hours in the day to follow Ronbots as they aimlessly roam Digg looking for the rest of their herd. Maybe if you'd get a life you wouldn't have so much time to kill. Consider the possibility.
canewediggit, on 01/03/2008, -3/+9i'm sorry i buried this earlier. it's become worth digging for the comments.
- Herkimer56, on 01/03/2008, -6/+6I wish that there was some way to archive some of these threads. Adding them as favorites gets to be pretty cumbersome really quickly.
  - canewediggit, on 01/03/2008, -5/+7so are nick and bteiv the same guy or did he have something to do w/ the video?
  - jcm267, on 01/03/2008, -4/+8It really isn't too hard to just create a folder of bookmarks to these threads. The only problem is the embarassment factor when a coworker borrows your computer to do something one day and sees that you have 50-100 Ron Paul and 9/11 Truth digg threads bookmarked.
    - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -4/+3Why be embarrasssed?
      - jcm267, on 01/03/2008, -3/+5What rational person wouldn't be embarrassed if people think that s/he is a Ron Paul supporter or a 9/11 Truther?
      - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -5/+3Oh...I figured it would be because you so obviously make an ass of yourself in your ridiculously repetitive behavior. My bad.
      - Herkimer56, on 01/03/2008, -3/+3It's okay, Brappie. You're just projecting again.
    - ssn697, on 01/03/2008, -3/+4Wow! Two comments from Brap in a ROW that didn't include references to the male anatomy, or sex with oneself!
      
      Congrats!
    - BrapAllgood, on 01/03/2008, -3/+3Sadly, Nuts--whether Super-Salty or not--are no longer allowed in my diet. Whoops...that referred to male anatomy. Sort of.
Cyre, on 01/03/2008, -6/+7Buried as the load of crap it is. A "digg revolution"? ROFLMAO!!!
