There are certain people on this board, who feel that they have seniority. They have been on this forum so long that their brain has shrunk and they are therefore totally unable to adjust to anyone having an oppinion which differs slighly from the official party line of the Republican party or any other 'common sense' party. If they encounter an argument or fact they cannot refute because they are a) unintelligent, b)unenergetic, or c) it simply cannot be refuted , they will resort to the use of calling the offender a DL.
Now when you think about it you can be fairly sure that the person accusing you of being a DL, has often times himself locked on under another handle.

Yet another one hits the ignore. 
DL-dances are made when someone who has been registered a short time ago who you've never seen before starts posting at OTF.
Who's DL TripleDoc is? My money's on JohnT.

Yeah, tripledoc. Now you made an ass out of yourself. One year here and you still haven't picked up suck a basic tradition.

The DL dance does not relate at all to what the person in question has posted.

Indeed. DLs transcend political boundaries.

DL dances are traditional manifestations of Apolyton folklore.
But I take it that Tripledoc has been accused of being a DL before...

No, Tripledoc is actually still a sane person as he recognizes the downs of a tradition that is basically flaming and scaring newbies who come to the site.
Now, if you want, accuse me of being a DL.

Notice that the original poster has a date of registration 3.5 years ago. That's why he was at least politely explained what a DL is...
Usually, a Settler posts a normal OTF thread, and the first twenty replies go like:
|
Quote:
|
DL! DL!
Good job AH!
|
Till finally a sane guy comes and tells the poor noob that others are off their knocker...

A DL is that special kinda feeling you get when your new girl asks you to go steady.

A "DL" is another username that a forum member registers. Usually, they go to the OTF and start explosively offensive or radical threads (or just funny, a few times.)
How can you recognize DLs?
o Registration date. Someone who posts in the OTF today, and registered today, is probably a DL.
o Post count. A Settler who recently registered and is posting in the OTF is probably a DL.
o Topic. What are they talking about? No one would waste thier DL on something worthless like a joke list or something. However, if a Settler that registered Jan 2004 comes in and starts posting new heavily political or just plain awful threads, he's a DL.
o Who posts in his threads. Sometimes, a DL's creator will post in the DL's thread.
o The DL's response?. If a DL already knows what "double login" stands for, then he's definitely a DL.
Sometimes, there are exceptions. For example, a Settler Jan 2004 might just be starting a joke thread, and not be a DL. Other times, the "DL" might actually be a long-time lurker. (However, in this instance, there's no harm on the noob, because he's lurked enough to know what the reaction will be.)
In this instance, the thread starter could not be a DL because he is a Prince, registered in Jan 2000, and is at least somewhat recognizable (I remember the name).
The best way to respond to a DL is:

DL! DL!

End result if caught is often a vacation at Rahcatraz (banning) for the creator of the DL.

Trippledoc is a DL...
when new accounts suddenly appear and start conversing in the OT forums, it is very likely they are DL's... especially when they know most of 'Poly's jargon... and it's even more likely when they seem to know veteran posters.
DL's are created by people who are either bored and messing around, or really immature and are too chicken to express their views or personal attacks with their regular accounts.

Yes, everyone accused me of being a DL. But given that my registration date is September 2001, who do you think would have created a login two years ago just for this?
Well, Ming or MarkG, who can edit the profiles...

No...you're just a frigging loser. And the lousiness of your interviews is only eclipsed by the lousiness of DanS's MOO3 previews.
And Ming...this is NOT a serious thread.

I have always been Oncle Boris, back from High School times. I am registered as Oncle Boris on other forums. My e-mail address is Oncle Boris. My ICQ is Oncle Boris. And even my Poly registration has been completed before Boris G.
So, the only thing left for you guys: call in Imran Siddiqui, Berzerker or any *capitalist pig* to once again contest my hard evidence.
