1. ........

[Pinkflamingo]

2. I wonder if we'll get our DU website shut down again.

[MoonRiver]

3. I'm worried.

[demmiblue]

4. Yep.

[Hotler]

9. Is that Bret? nt

[Dr Hobbitstein]

19. Tom from MySpace. nt

[asiliveandbreathe]

5. For sure..pick and choose OPs wisely...some obvious..some little devils....eom

[malaise]

10. Others are way more subtle

They just sneak up on you

[MoonRiver]

12. And they usually put something in that vaguely supports Dems

to keep from being zapped.

[Andy823]

6. Just remember

DON'T FEED THEM!

Their goal is to divide the boards with their BS. Don't fall for their trap.

[Hotler]

7. Remember agent Mike?

The olds days of DU.

[MoonRiver]

11. Yes n/t

[malaise]

14. Haha

I used to love those agent Mike threads.

[fescuerescue]

16. Those cracked me up.

Especially the ones with the pictures of "agent mike"

[SergeStorms]

22. I'll still refer to Agent Mike now and then.

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.

34. Welcome back, I had to walk away for awhile also. nt

[MineralMan]

8. Yes, there do be.

[BootinUp]

13. No shit.

[fescuerescue]

15. Some discussions boards

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.

18. The "newbie" has been here almost two years.

How many years does one have to here not to be called a newbie?

[louis c]

25. I've been here since 2004 and when we were hacked in 2016...

...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.

[cwydro]

29. So everyone who joined in 2016 is a troll? Nice.

You never answered my question- how long before someone isn’t 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?

[pintobean]

30. You average about 44 posts per month

fescuerescue averages about 40.

I've never seen fescuerescue take cheap shots at fellow DUers. You, however...

[cwydro]

31. Yes, interesting.

Not very many posts for such a longtime member either, eh?

[pintobean]

33. He doesn't seem to like the push back

and scrutiny. What a shame.

[fescuerescue]

24. lol

enjoy

[Kingofalldems]

20. I just read that every voter in the USA is talking about the caravans!!

[SergeStorms]

21. And it always happens around the same time.....

elections are being held!

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

[MoonRiver]

28. Yep, sniff them out and move on.

[Kingofalldems]

23. Kick this one.

[beachbum bob]

26. Easy to ignore

[revmclaren]

27. K & R

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.

[ProudLib72]

32. So what you're saying is that election time is also a good time to wash socks?

Ok, I'm on it!
