While DemocraticUnderground has mentions of how nutty the Freepers are, with links to examples, discussion of DU on FR is completely verboten. Sometimes someone new goofs up and posts a link to DU, and 10 people reply, "we're not allowed to talk about them!"

I posted something on FR once, and immediately a dozen people replied "ZOT! ZOT! ZOT!", and then it disappeared. It brings quite an image to mind, a bunch of Freepers sitting around discussing something (maybe that "John Kerry is more liberal than Ted Kennedy!"), and someone comes in and says something not to their liking and all of a sudden they circle around and start yelling "Zot! Zot! Zot!".
