(23 posts)Well I can't be held responsible for you reading something into my remarks that I never put there. I just got to DU and as I'm new here I can't have any informed opinion of what happens here on the subject matter you raise or anything else. Nor do I have any interest in discussing any issue relating to the DU community as I'm new here and don't have any idea. I am sorry I can't participate in that discussion, because I can't have any informed opinion as a new arrival, but if you'd like to discuss with me what my experience was at DKos being exposed to the work of paid trolls, I'd be more than glad to discuss that with you. I'd have to ask what your experience has been at DKos with paid trolls. You don't seem to think they exist there is that right? Your characterization of a tired old whine seems to be a bit over the top as they say in jolly old England. That's what you folks say there, where you're from isn't it over the top. As I understand it DKos is the largest progressive web site in the world with a couple million registered accounts. I think under those circumstances to suggest that people who've been there for a long time like myself have experience with paid trolls isn't the stuff of tin foil hats at all, nor is it a tired old whine as you put it. I think the discussion here is about progressive online communities outside of DU being infected with paid trolls. Clearly as you say no one will stop me from participating in that discussion and that information is welcome. Thanks. I hope we can avoid future thread drift. Look forward to your reply as to your experience with paid trolls at DKos.
