Probably when JimRob started the forum it was more discussion of many topics. I will never believe that someone signed up 11 years ago to disrupt the forum in the present time.
I read many things here that I disagree with and if I kept speaking out someone could call me a troll. I don't just follow the crowd like a sheep.
I see useless threads very often, pete and repeat, lol. AND, half the threads are now posted by brand new FReepers. A few years ago a new FReeper would be hesitant to jump right in and post threads, so then I wonder if they signed up with a ‘ready to go’ agenda.
I have had over 5 old DU screen-names
I had 7 at the NYT political forums
Way back I carefully trolled there and confused and disrupted the radicals with glee
Gotta Gogh. lol.
