1. That's not right. We were all newbies at one time.

That's not to say none of them are freepers, but we need to give people the benefit of the doubt. Low post count does not equal freeper.

From the DU rules:

Do not accuse entire groups of people on Democratic Underground of being conservative disruptors, or post messages which spread this type of suspicion. In particular, please avoid posting topics that arouse suspicion against new members, or members with low post counts.

7. Let 'em bring it.

If they're fascist dipshits, it'll be obvious to us soon enough and they won't last long. If they're just new posters, they'll bring some fresh perspectives. Either way, they can't do any damage just by posting shit.

that DU's reputation is spreading. We must be powerful if some freeps are coming to disrupt. Enjoy it!

9. This comming from Mr < 1000 posts.

Be kind. Newbies are good.

I know when I first started posting here it took me awhile to catch on.

The mods do a great job of weeding.

10. I've noticed a lot of cranky and serious people

who feel the need to comment on posting with warnings about how we'll be "mis-read" or "mis-understood" and we really should watch what we say. And a lot of lecturing, usually of the self-rightous nature.

We are here to have fun and say what we need to say. That's the whole point of being here - expressing our opinions. Engaging in debate. Shareing information.

I wish these worrysome people would take their worries elsewhere.
