4. OK, I'll give you the benifit of the doubt..........
Freepers tend to post this kind of crap in the middle of the night, they usually have very low post counts. It happens on a regular basis, so live and learn. As a newbie, you will come to understand the reactions you just got. Stick around if you are sincere.

:toast:

22. Ponca City?
That's where my great grandfather staked his claim in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. He, eventually, sold it to the Santa Fe Railroad and they put a railyard on it. I don't know if they still own it, or not.

9. I heard a rumor that a born again Christian coke head alcoholic was
appointed president by the SCOTUS after his brother shafted Floridian
Voters for him. Rumor has it he went on to become the worst pResident in all of American History.

Go figure.

FYI if you have a low post count think twice before posting anything negative toward Our candidate or his Spouse.

You will be called out as a Freeper right or wrong that's the way it is.

I would more than likely be one of the ones calling you out.

I loath Freeptards & everything they represent. Mindless faith based fucks.

12. Just take it easy.
There are a lot of people who have a lot of passion invested in this thing, and emotions are running high. I wouldn't take anything personally -- just about everyone gets accused of trolling once in a while here.

13. I think you're owed an apology
There's a difference between toying with someone thought to be a disruptor, and howling 'freeper' like a fucking lynch mob. Posters who call out others as disruptors break the forum rules as surely as do real freepers. Now they're explaining why they did it to you, but not apologizing. Nice.

Welcome to DU. Hope you stay....

15. It's I who owe you an apology. . .
I responded to some amusing images I saw in the threads and did so without consideration of your feelings.

Welcome to DU. . . I'll look forward to further posts from you.

23. I think what some people here need to realize
that there will be lots of new posters here, and not just right wing disruptors. Lots of Democrats across the country are excited/nervous/anxious/freaked-out about the election, and are probably looking for a place to talk with other Dems. It does not help OUR SIDE by thinking everyone new here is a right wing disruptor, because it is more likely the person on the other end is a die-hard Democrat looking for a "support group" to help them through the election.

Besides, we're all adults here. If a "freeper" posts here, it's not like they're somehow going to take over our mind through the computer screen. We can all read a post and make a decision as to what the poster's intent is. I just don't see the big deal over disruptors. I get the feeling some folks here are afraid of themselves - like the fundies who are so afraid to see anything sexual for fear they may like it. Me personally, I know what my beliefs are and I'm not afraid to hear anything - regardless of how offensive it may be. I'm probably more of a libertarian than a liberal in many regards, especially when it comes to matters of speech and expression.

25. Yep. That's what the mods and the admins are for, and I'm sure
they know what they're doing.
