"BTW, do you think you could have used the DU name any LESS..."
I don't understand; are you worried about giving DU too much publicity? I thought I was rubbing egg in DU's face with my post.
It's like when Clinton had his affair with Monica, we gave him more publicity than he could ever wish for. Likewise, I think this situation is hysterical and should be used to humiliate Democratic Underground.
But correct me if I'm mistaken, or if I've violated some sort of FreeRepublic convention.
no "convention violation"... yet
You must understand, when you post, your very first day, we have a tendency to be a bit... leary in our acceptence of newbies..
stick around, and answer what is thrown at you, and see if you can handle the pressure :)
Welcome again
Congratulations if you're a conservative. But yes, we don't give a flying hoot about those losers and threads about them are usually deleted.
First, you ran a vanity. This should go under the "blogs and personal" column. Very rarely do vanities answer the category of "News."
Second, you treated your topic as if there were some basic presuppositions which everyone would automatically know. One thing you will learn on Free Republic is that we frequently do not agree with each other. Don't assume that we all share the same hyper-outrage over any topic. Unless you're talking about Elian Gonzales.
The last criticism I have is that no one really cares about the Democratic Underground web site. They just don't matter and we don't spend much time ventilating about them. An analogy would be is that I don't ventilate about about cockroaches in my house. I just squish 'em.
I do congratulate you on avoiding a common newbie error. You had no glaring spelling or grammatical errors.
They humiliate themselves. Almost all of us here simply ignore them. They are meaningless. We just don't care.
Its an election year. There are so many other ways to occupy your time than to waste a single thought on DU. Why bother?
