Let me tell you my sad tale.
I came to Democratic Underground 3-4 years ago. Someone sent me a link to "the Top 10 Conservative Idiots" and I was hooked. Oh, the first few times were free, but then there was a donation banner. I donated a couple times, when I could.
Then, I moved on to the harder stuff. The Hate Mailbag. I figured, what's the harm? I'd just read a few wingnut posts on a weekend, have a laugh and get on with it. Then, one weekend, I went to the Hate Mailbag, and there was nothing new. I actually re-read it. Twice. Three times... I needed more.
No problem. I'll just read a few posts at Free Republic. Hey! I can do that every day!
Then it became every hour. I began to know Freepers by name. I knew their habits, their personal philosophies. Oh! There's pissant, he's a White Nationalist! I see P-Marlowe is bashing Catholics with his Calvinist evangelical crap again! Oh, hey, here's a newbie calling for the death of all Muslims and liberals!
I had signed up to post on DU, but I never got around to it. Finally, I realized that I needed help. I came here, hoping to go cold turkey. I've been posting here for about a week now, but I still can't stop going back.
I am the red pen and I am powerless over the entertainment value of wingnuts. Please help me stay away from Free Republic. Post more Hate Mailbag. My sanity hangs in the balance.
