How many other discussion forums are you a member of?

No, I'm not going to accuse you of cheating or being unfaithful to the DU! And I'm not just referring to other political boards online that you may frequent.

Just curious if you post at one or two or several other forums outside of this one related to anything: pets, hobbies, sports, ancestry, cars, etc.

I am a member of a sports forum. Between that one and this one, it's enough reading/posting to keep me going.

The place is basically Stormfront-lite, but I get a kick shitting on the scumbags from time to time.

I must disagree with your assessment of the board. There are different opinions most certainly, however I do not believe the comments i see there are necessarily any more short sighted than I see here or elsewhere. Some may be just as they are here, but many are very insightful.

but they tend to drone on about what words are politically correct for liberals to use at times.

But I haven't visited or used in in over a dozen years. I'd be bragging if I said Jimbo made me a moderator, so I won't.

One other progressive political one (sometimes my views match here more and sometimes there), a weather forum, rarely on a music one, and a lottery forum since I sometimes play scratch offs. I also post comments on Philly.com stories (mostly sports only because there are a surprising amount of wingnuts there). I think that is all.

Gaming FB pages: Pokemon Fans United

Sports-related FB pages: Keep the Raiders in Oakland, Oakland A's Fans For Life, "Raider Nation!", Silver and Black Pride, Athletics Nation, and occasionally Golden State of Mind.

The other board actually meets in real life and has outings all over the world.

Bad op sec to have an internet persona tied to real life.

I must say the real names thing makes for much more civility.
