(11,495 posts)Their goal is to divide the boards with their BS. Don't fall for their trap.

(19,193 posts)BTW, I'm on my 3rd iteration of screen names. We all got a chance to change them after Baby Bush was selected, I took the Obama years off, and when the orange anus took over I had to re-emerge. Sometimes staying in one place has been a little difficult for me.

(4,448 posts)are extremely paranoid of trolls. They constantly accuse each other of being trolls. I don't think it's healthy.
Anyway, boards that are the most afraid of trolls are the ones attract the most for that precise reason.
Personally I think it's best to just ignore them.

(8,652 posts)...which was before this poster joined, it was very costly as many political actions in various states were dependent on this site for our communication.
Excuse me if I am skeptical of someone who wasn't here when that happened, doesn't donate after 2 years as a participating member and tells us not to worry about trolls 2 days before the midterms.
Maybe this person is giving an innocent opinion, but I fall on the side of being diligent.

(51,308 posts)You never answered my question- how long before someone isnt a newbie?
Being diligent? Sounds like being prejudiced against a DUer who joined later than you.
Some judge on the number of posts...would you like that?

(18,101 posts)fescuerescue averages about 40.
I've never seen fescuerescue take cheap shots at fellow DUers. You, however...

(51,308 posts)Not very many posts for such a longtime member either, eh?

Screw 'em. They're pretty easy to suss out. The only thing to do is ignore them.

(2,515 posts)Yes they are here and also pop in from time to time to 'poke the hive' in the words of one of them from another site.
That's why many of us are always diligent.
Only! 2018 to 2020.
