2. Okay, Mr 52 posts:

How did you come up with your DU name? I've wondered since I saw it the first time, a couple of days ago.

20. Pretty simple, actually. >

It's just the first 5 letters of my first/last name, as used in common email protocol. First initial of my first name; first four letters of my surname.

6. Nah, you were dissed because

it's really poor form to join and launch right into a personal attack when you're in the double-digits.

You really can't get too nasty until you are well up past the 700 club (after which jesus is on your side and all).

But, really, I saw the post you made, and it wasn't a good start out of the gate. And you seem to be improving on that tact.

Good luck!

22. Personal attack? I spell my name Danger. >

Seriously. Y'all need to expand just a little bit and allow for the prospect of a little light-hearted absurdism.

Like even when you were way back at 5 posts?

23. Sorry. The poor wife just got in off the road. >

Week-long business trip to exotic Evansville, IN and Louisville, KY.

Cooked her a meal, plied her with liquor and now she's blissfully asleep in front of the fire. Ask me anything.

11. Hey, don't sweat it...

...somebody today had their opinion mocked and got called a newbie...and they had 450 posts!!!

Some people here wil attack ANYTHING they can about you if you have an opinion that differs slightly from theirs.

That's what the ignore list is good for.

18. That some states take pride in their treasonous past

Edited on Fri Nov-07-03 10:00 PM by JVS

And that there is some ugliness in our country that we might find convenient to ignore, but if we look it square in the face we can see how ugly it is. Don't ignore problems, they don't go away.

16. Some tips:

Start a thread with "The thing about Kerry..." or "Dean should know better than..."

You get the idea. You'll have more to respond to than you can imagine!

But seriously, I was once called a newbie for having 200 or so posts.

Like I wasn't allowed to be involved in politics before I started posting on DU.
