How did you find your way to DU? I was on Huffington Post and someone brought it up. So I came here and never went back

5. I used to frequent a particular car forum.

They had a section for politics, religion and controversy. It made Stormfront look like Romper Room. They have actually been visited by the Secret Service for some of the threats that appear on that website. I spent several years just diving in and being one of the few progressives in a field of thousands of insane wingnuts.

What I did for sport is to goad people into posting things that will get them banned. It was kinda fun sometimes. Anyway, this place got mentioned there pretty often. Some of their members came here and didn't last more than a few hours before MIRT nailed them. (Nice work, MIRT) I started lurking here then finally joined over ten years ago.

I still post over there, their Off Topic section is well policed for political content and some of the people there are really funny. I've met several of them and think of them as friends if their politics aren't too crazy.
