New guy here...

[franzwohlgemuth]

40 plus years old from Columbus Ohio, studying political science for 27 years, human behavior for 23. To be honest, I infuriate both sides of the aisle, but mostly the right. To be honest even more, I bend no knee to party or personality, but I am left of center. Laid back, easy going, educated, pagan, goth/metal head...

Any tips, tricks, are welcome.


Outside of that..... HI!!!

3. Welcome to DU, franzwohlgemuth!

I'm glad you're here!

I already spotted your first OP's and they are interesting. I don't know how many folks will respond. Time will tell!

Shorter, pithier pieces usually get more feedback, but it varies a lot.

Again, Welcome!

6. My posts

The way my mind works is... speaking, I can be short and to the point. Writing, I have to take time and draw it our or else it won't make sense or get across what I'm trying to say (yet I can write poetry that paints entire landscapes...). Hopefully someone will have a discussion... Thank you.

4. Welcome to DU. Tip: Don't take things personally here, even if sometimes they actually are

meant that way. I don't use the "ignore" list, but many swear it makes their DU experience nicer.

Also, if you donate $5 or $10 per year to DU, you won't see any of those obnoxious ads.
