Hi. I'm a newbie.
I couldn't post until just now. I've been reading DU for years, but just now joined the boards. You people really hate freedom!

1. Hey newbie
If you're being sarcastic you might want to add a wink gif... If not, then nice knowing you...

7. I hate when message-board sarcasm backfires...
I was joking about the freedom hating bit. You should probably lighten up just a smidge.

23. You probably should learn the nature of freepers that infiltrate our board
There have been hundres if not thousands of freepers who hop on DU and post exactly the type of things you just posted.... I was only letting you know this for your own good. AND I'll never lighten up...

34. Do DUers ever infiltrate the Freeper boards?
And do they get kicked off? Because it seems to me that if a Freeper joins this board and want to debate intelligently (if they're able), then they should be able to without getting banned.

37. there is no debating freepers
they are so brainwashed by the corporate media they cannot hold an intelligent discussion. I don't want them here. If I want to hear their point of view all I have to do is turn on the radio or the TV or read a newspaper. They make me feel sick. DU is a sanctuary away from those bastards and it will stay that way.

14. I saw them at a 5000 seat theater in Houston in '98.
I currently reside in Chicago myself. I know the show you're talking about. I didn't go, but I remember.

17. That show was mind-blowingly amazing.
"I'll be waiting with a gun and bag of sandwiches."
When they started playing "Talk Show Host" I just about shat my shorts. I love that song.

Are military Vet's who have give years of their young lifes protecting the freedom you are so piously refrencing. Before the mods cut you down I would like to request you kiss my ass.

"I was joking about the freedom hating bit. You should probably lighten up just a smidge".

Me too!

The mods wouldn't ban me for sarcasm, would they? And I'd much rather shake your hand and say Thank You than kiss your ass.

16. Hi Kid_A
You might want to add a wink.

Some people don't get it and will post nasty comments.

you were being sarcastic. What gives? Hmmmm?

Gee, I wonder.

24. Well, when I first join a community, I try to make every effort...
Not to be misinterpreted as hostile.

You said: You should probably lighten up just a smidge.

And: And I'd much rather shake your hand and say Thank You than kiss your ass.

So, my conclusion was that maybe you were a little too hostile to be for real. Could be my mistake.

If so, Welcome to DU.

38. The hand shake thing was not sarcastic at all.
I thought the guy was a vet and I didn't want him to think I was a prick who took vets for granted.

35. Well then, my apologies....
Just had a knee-jerk reaction to someone with fewer than 20 posts stating he was a newbie. I didn't assume that he HAD many other posts here, so didn't search.
