Attention Displaced Rand Fans from the DP

[Unknownuser]

4 pages running and theres only been 1 defector. Are you sure there is a genuine problem or just maybe its you who isn't getting along with the folks over there. I left DP years ago but it had nothing to do with moderation or the people, I just liked the RPF format

There have been many others like this.

I get the hint.

And I get along just fine. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Nystrom and have exchanged many great ideas with him. Nothing but LOVE my friend.

FYI...I'm not trashing the DP. Mike is taking his site in a different direction. I'm keeping my account over there as there is a lot of unique content and "unique" users that I have not found on any other forum. I think both forums are great with great people and both will play an important role to advance Liberty.

I am also not here to mold anyone's notions, troll, or the likes. I am here simply to connect with other like minded peeps. And have fun damn it!

They call those who support Rand "Rah Rah Randers" Lol. It's like Paultard, but different (supposedly)

I used to think "Paulbot" and "Paultard" and all that other stuff was so juvenile and movement Ron Paul supporters were above that, but Daily Paul proves that nope, many are not.

It's called the Daily PAUL. Is Rand not a Paul?

Don't you know? 'Paul' isn't Ron Paul, but rather Peace/Gold/Liberty...or something.

Greetings fellow expats.

I'm "NowOrNever" at the DP.

(So we meet again, Unknown, lol)

No, there's definitely a problem.

Nystrom is strongly hostile to Rand in particular, and is jaded about politics in general.

He's taken to telling people that political participation is a waste of time.

And he's made it abundantly clear that he won't allow people to use the DP to promote Rand in the same way we used it to promote Ron.

For the overwhelmingly pro-Rand membership, the implications of this have yet to sink in.

For now, in this quiet time between elections, the problem is just simmering below the surface.

But come primary season, I predict fireworks - if Mike sticks to his guns, they'll be an exodus.

There is growing discontent because there is too little choice of smileys on this forum.

Then again, at least we don't need to try to explain why we have a :collins: emote.

Actually I didn't know that.

You! So glad to see you.

It is interesting to see how the DP is evolving. I'm ok with it. But I don't want to wear out my welcome there. I get the hint. I will keep my membership at the DP but come election time I'm not sure what is going to happen. Who are they going to argue with over there? Themselves? Whoopy.

@Unknown

Good to see you too (though we did just talk yesterday at the DP, maybe we need some time apart, lol).

Anyway, I'm keeping my DP account as well, I want a front-row seat to the aforementioned fireworks.

...I might even light a few off myself.

Listen, I really like you but I'm in a committed relationship.

About lighting fireworks...someone's gotta stir the pot. But be careful or you'll be zapped into the land of none existence. Say hello to Granger for me while you're there. Lol! Jk.

 

[Unknownuser]

I've had a lot of fun today over here. Thanks to all for your warm welcomes. Perhaps some time I will learn the flow of this thing and make my way to other threads. Hopefully you guys are willing to tolerate me for a while. I'd like to stick around if it's ok with y'all.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Actually I didn't know that.

Don't be fooled. 'Paul' in Daily Paul stands for Ron Paul, but sometime in 2012, Nystorm decided to distance himself from Ron Paul and put up this goofy spin.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

Yep, first it was Paul (as in, Ron), then it was Peace Gold Liberty, then he switched out Liberty for for Love.

In this we see his gradual move away from politics.

"Toady is the primary!"

Tons of great photoshops in that thread! Looks like some fell off the internet though.

I hope everyone reading this thread checks out your link to the origins of "toady" and then "hops" over to give you rep points!

The link brought a big smile to my face remembering how much fun we can have in our fight for Liberty. (Ron pointed that out himself in speeches).

Good for the new members to see too.

That's so ghey.

 

[acptulsa]

That's so ghey.

LOL

He keeps that up and soon he will have progressed through 'fifty shades of ghey'.

On the other hand, maybe we do.

Good grief. It's this kind of division of the liberty movement that drives me bonkers.

In fairness to Nystrom, how was he to know that Rand Paul was going to be a Senator when he created his site, which was inspired by Ron?

 

[liberalnurse]

Wow. Guess it's been awhile since I was there last. Was pretty active there at the beginning while I lurked here. Wasn't quite sure what to make of this place at first. Thought perhaps it was a bit to brutal for me. LOL
