My palms sweat every time I hover above the "Post" button!See my post #219. If you are honest, odds are you won't get zotted, unless you prove yourself to be nuttier than a Payday bar.

I went over to DU, just out of curiosity, from people talking of DU. They have no class, are ignorant, use horrible language and are so nasty. I will not go over there ever again. There are truley scary people on that site.

Sorry to see you're on the Left Coast, although having spent some time out there myself while driving for United Van Lines, it has some good points.

There's a troll who constantly posts vanities on FR, all with a different take on the same basic theme. Sometimes he pretends to be a liberal wanting "honest and rational" discussion. Sometimes he's a kid asking all sorts of questions about conservatism. Sometimes he just asks random questions. As soon as I saw this thread, I suspected it was him. No real way for me to know, though. I don't have the all-seeing crystal ball that the mods have.

The Zot is not my worry, my worry is being worthy of such a clever bunch of FReepers...

Fortunately, you can tell a DUer from their fragrance.

You obviously haven't read any of my religious posts.
If being nutty as a Payday is grounds for banning, I should have been gone a long time ago.

That's the most likely explanation. In fact, I can't think of another. Sometimes the reason for the Zot is obvious. Other times, like this, it's less clear.
As a monthly supporter, I'd like an explanation of someone I was grudgingly giving the benefit of the doubt to.

To: AQGeiger
Part of the problem is that I, and a lot of folks here, would welcome a few honest liberals. Trolls have learned to try and exploit that. But they can only keep up the charade so long. They are so used to relying upon regurgitated spin that they can only pretend to be something else for so long before they run out of neurons to fire.

From a newbie to another newbie, Welcome, and I too have observed a certain amount of hostility towards newbies, that explains my lack of introduction. Well, you only have one post before this (and a pretty good one too). Unless you say something really dumb or attempt to speak with authority on a subject I usually don't check a persons sign up date.
A welcome to Free Republic is not always what it seems. Many on this board that love the flavor of troll will post that for several reasons. Sometimes it is just an honest welcome. Other times it is because we'll smell something that just doesn't seem right and wish to "tag" that poster so we can find them later, essentially patting them on the back while looking for a soft spot to stick the knife.
Anyway a belated

There's a reason for the cone of silence. "Sorry about that Chief."

Your intellectual edge will be fire-hardened and sharpened by the fact that we almost as hard on each other as we are on trolls. But it is the best way to learn how to hone your debating skills.
Plus, if you have a slightly deranged sense of humor, that never hurts, either.

Well, I have been known to say some dumb things in my life, not intentionally of course but I am going to be very cautious, unless I see something dumb then let the dumbness begin...haha

My 9-year-old knows who Churchill was and can give (if not verbatim) paraphrases of quotes. I would be greatly disappointed if any of my children couldn't quote Churchill at 13 and give chapter and verse on him.
