"I spent about ten minutes refuting a DUmmy, and when transmitting the response, the response was, "Thread has been pulled."

I just had the same thing happen to me and it's so frustrating. I don't post often but when I do I put a lot of thought and time into it so when ready to post to be told it's a no-go is maddening!

To make matters worse, they don't even give you a clue as to the reason it was pulled. At least that would be some consolation. I am not one who is "up" on all things political though I am trying to learn more all the time, and this site is a big part of it, so I don't necessarily understand their reasons for pulling certain threads. A general reason given would sure help educate me!

Short answer - ssdd - same sh*t different day.

The DU types are not worthy of precious FR bandwidth. I am sure there are other sites that engage them.

I don't necessarily understand their reasons for pulling certain threads.

One reason for pulling a thread is when it's posted by an obvious DU troll.

Another reason to pull a thead is when it's a "Vanity" thread (like this one).

But "Vanity" threads aren't always pulled (like this one).
