Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 07:23 PM by tnhatesbush
I have no idea why some people are saying that about me. Is this not general discussion and can one not talk about things they want to talk about??? My last topic was about My personal e mail I sent to Gov. McGreevey and I have people calling me a flamebait....

EDIT: If you feel that you are being picked on by a particular poster, you should use "alert".

Or post a thread crying about it.

Another type of post is known as "vanity posts."

5. well whatever it is called
I just try to post interesting things that are on my mind at the time. If anyone doesn't like my posts, i guess they can just ignore them. Thanks!

8. Yes. Many need to perform that exact extraction.

9. Welcome to DU
You'll have to grow some tough skin because when people don't agree with you or they think you're stirring thing up too much then you will probably be branded a freeper or a disruptor (hit the alert when that happens). Enjoy DU, it's a great place to come.

10. Could be that some are naturally suspicious of "newbies" and of those
from the south. I think that some folks think that there aren't many liberals in the south. If you post something that may seem one way to you it may seem provocative to someone else - don't understand that we might use language differently or humor differently.

Hang in there. I'm glad to see you and a couple of other Tennesseans here during the past couple of weeks.
