19. That wasn't my intent. I was trying to avoid a hidden thread for that supposition.

Face it. We have a lot of new members and many of them are trolls. I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt and my post basically meant "elaborate so you won't get hidden". We were all new members at some point. New members are certainly welcome with open arms, but the troll police aren't all as open-minded as I try to be. I'd rather have more members. But it is a fact that all political blogs get invaded as major political events come closer and low post counts are one of the triggers. Some people just don't post that often. No problem with that. I think you took my post in the opposite way from what I intended - probably my fault for choice of language.

Your concern is noted. Please feel free to share more of your concerns, and enjoy your stay. nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #1

No, she didn't "fuck up"... Spazito Oct 2012 #3

You're going to have to flesh that out a bit more. DU is a little weary of trolls. Prove you aren't. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #6

Sorry I don't have 40k post. I have no desire to reach that milestone. Crowley sux and always has. GusFring Oct 2012 #12

Thanks. We all started at post #1 at some point. We've just been getting invaded lately... HopeHoops Oct 2012 #14

Posters have to prove they AREN'T trolls? Nine Oct 2012 #16

That wasn't my intent. I was trying to avoid a hidden thread for that supposition. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #19

What an awful post. You certainly DO NOT speak for me! Romulox Oct 2012 #18

See my reply #19. I obviously worded the "prove" part wrong. I was just looking out for the poster. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #20

Your post was accusatory and aggressive. "Prove you aren't" and "this one smells of troll" Romulox Oct 2012 #21

Personally, I support HopeHoops' handling of this. Wednesdays Oct 2012 #23

Thank you. But I did chose my words wrong. I can see the confusion. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #25

It was supposed to be a *FOREIGN POLICY* debate. She let it become a domestic one. Romulox Oct 2012 #17

I think she was wrong to introduce herself into th debate. efhmc Oct 2012 #22

I wish moderators would do it more not less... Spazito Oct 2012 #24

Then it becomes something different than a debate. It becomes a three person efhmc Oct 2012 #26

I disagree, it would enhance the neutrality of the moderator and keep the discussion... Spazito Oct 2012 #28

She should let the candidates say their piece... Lightbulb_on Oct 2012 #27

The ridiculous parsing of whether "an act of terror" means a 'terrorist attack'... Spazito Oct 2012 #30
