I agree her statement about drums made from the hide of christian baby is a a bit out there and easily 'contested' as to its stupidity ... but I didn't know we were zotting stupid people, just DU trolls! (granted these two terms are synonymous at times but I do imagine that there are SOME stupid people that are not DU trolls) ... maybe we don't want them here either I guess is what you are saying .... hmmmm ... I am having a conversation with myself convincing me that this was probably a good zot! ;-)
Anyway, still don't want to scare away everyone with our 'over-zoting' ... maybe this stupid person is trainable? ;-)
"but I didn't know we were zotting stupid people,"
Well, now you do.
There are still new accounts surviving every day.
Unfortunately there has been a significant increase in trolls since the 2004 election cycle as well. Not just from DU, but libertarians and atheists as well.
Sean Hannity has discussed the lower level of conversations occurring on FR these days. More personal attacks/flame wars. I look at the signup date before getting into anything extended these days.
Even still there are some "pet" lefties who (for some unknown reason) at permitted to remain at FR posting articles.
