One day, perhaps, I may post here a detailed description of my posting strategy on the Discussionist

Were I to do that, it would be considered a concrete indication that I would have determined that posting anymore there is simply too boring and tedious an endeavor to continue.

And of course by me doing so it should not be regarded, in any way, as a criticism of other DU posters there. I would simply be describing my own style and the reasons why I used it.

I would also include detailed observations and suggestions that other DU posters are invited to use for themselves, if they are so inclined.

At this point, I have found the experience there to be quite an enjoyable one and I have no doubt that it will continue to be so in the foreseeable future.

Again, I thank Skinner, Elad and EarlG for such a marvelous opportunity to interact with some of our less than Liberal friends.

I consider it a stroke of genius from the way that they've pulled it off.

Happy Posting, everybody!

so I'm not sure how it is such a new experience. Is Yahoo comments also a work of great genius? To me, the site is just a room full of mean straight people. I've seen such rooms before. They are literally a dime a dozen.

and by that, I mean going far past the RW talking points/memes.

But, on general perusal I don't see a lot of threads that encourage me to register my opinion or even a +1 for others already posted. What I do see is a lot of the kinds of conservatives that are not at all phased by countering fact. Frankly, those are the types I prefer to avoid in life, much less on the internet.

I'm glad there are DUers that are finding it worthwhile to post and counter their arguments though. TO them, I raise a big
