I Want to Hear from All DUer's, Regardless of Post Count. [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by REP (a host of the General Discussion forum).

We were all new at one time and just because someone has a low post count doesn't mean he/she is a troll. It's a guilty-until-proven-innocent scenario that is off-putting and certainly does not reflect the open tent we should be practicing here. Just my opinion. To all our new DU posters (except the trolls): WELCOME TO DU!
