Poll question: why are recent newbies posting on Shaivo threads hiding their profiles?
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 04:43 AM by fleabert
almost all I have seen today with post counts under 300 have the profile hidden. I don't know if any are old members with low post counts since the profiles are hidden!

I'm just saying...

I haven't seen it before, but I have been here for less than a year, so maybe I am wrong. My profile has been up since day one! and I post pictures. ;-)

1. For brand new folk, they are most adept at sorting out the intricacies
...of this board, it would seem. Unusually clever, eh? Hell, I still don't get all the intricacies and nuances!

All I can tell you is, consider the source.

For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone would want to do any TROLLING about this issue. It's not something that anyone comes to a point of view on lightly.

They can go at it all they want, eventually they'll be outed. They always are.

2. I feel the same way.
unfortunately - they have some seasoned folks agreeing with them sometimes. I don't get it. I shouldn't talk about it again, I don't want to seem like I am trying to call anyone out.

I am just shaivo'd out, and wanted to vent a little after someone made me mad and called me name.

3. The 11th Circuit has ruled
...and if the Supremes are smart, they will just refuse to take the case. Soon, it will be over, and the right wing will move on to some other desperate, whining issue where they portray themselves as brave, stalwart "victims" of the evil, miserable left, even though they have all branches of government in their pockets!

It's what they DO....they're one trick ponies!
