Question: I write a lot about the Democratic primaries

[MineralMan]

on DU. I've noticed that some people take exception to much of what I write. That gives me an idea. My wife and I are often strapped for funds sometimes. So here's a question:

If I put up a GoFundMe page and promised to stop writing on DU about the campaign if I raised a certain amount, would you contribute to that? I'm thinking something like $10,000 as the amount. What say you?

3. LOL! Thanks, my dear Peggy.

You get it.

[mythology]

2. Your posts are far more interesting and rational

Than the petty name calling that too many are doing here.

[JaneyVee]

4. Are you having financial problems?

[MineralMan]

7. Not really, but a guy can always use a few

more bucks. Nobody's taken me up on my offer to write about how cool they are for money, so I thought I'd try this.

[JaneyVee]

9. Ah, some snarkasm....

My 2nd favorite type of -asm

I can dig it.

[Codeine]

5. This tickles me. nt

[MineralMan]

8. I can hear you giggling from here.

6. Or am I just messing with ya?

10. I think they're on to your Dirty Democrat attempt to trick

them into buying more delegates for Hillary. And whatever other corrupt plots you're involved in. As an admirer I feel sure there must be some good ones.

[MineralMan]

12. Damn. You're on to me...

LOL!

[quickesst]

11. I think you should continue...

... but if you ever decide to start a go fund me with the statement of purpose being: please contribute or I will have to stop writing on DU, I could probably get down with that.

[Godhumor]

13. I will not pay you by the word not written

Unpack that!

[MineralMan]

18. LOL!

[NCTraveler]

14. I went with you need to feel the Bern.

It made me smile when you read it.

I honestly don't get it. Overall you post a lot of factual information democrats would want to know. When you interject your own thoughts I never found them to be offensive even if I wasn't one hundred percent on board. I do think you go to some dry humor every now and then that rubs people, but I can't imagine holding that against you. Then again, that kind of humor is my cup of tea.

I do think you would be a trendsetter as the first paid unposter.

[MineralMan]

15. Well, I found an unguent that's effective for that.

So, no worries there.

16. I want the transcripts

of everything you won't write.

[MineralMan]

17. Buck a word. I can even write some

Hillary transcripts at that rate. You can contact me at mediashills.com. Keep that on the down low, though. Mum's the word - wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

19. I would have voted for "PURPLE" but I didn't see that option

I've got Prince on my mind today!

[MineralMan]

20. We all do, I think.
