That graphic is a hoot! That needs to get added to the mods' profile page.

Hi, my name is Sean Quinn. My original political philosophy was that of a moderate, then I creeped liberal, then joined DU. I had my fun there and became a donor (which I think's about to expire). I got a membership at FR, ORIGINALLY to just troll and to read as most DU folk do. After some serious post-election thinking and re-evaluating of my philosophy (a good issue for this is social security) I stopped going to DU. I started listening to 580 WDBO here in Orlando which advertises itself as "the conservative radio station". Thank the Lord, we don't get Air America here, so it's basically one of the few choices in talk radio. I heard Boortz (whom I love for his open-source talks as well as his political philosophy, yaay for linux) and then Hannity. The gentlemen I put down as a "rightie conservative" before now started to make some serious sense.
So, I say, HI. Though I have an account at DU of the same name, I won't be going back there. I'm pretty sure that I've found a home for me here at FR.
If you have any questions, comments, etc. please contact me on AIM at QuinnieDaPooh921 or of course, as always, post them below.
I'm a bit of a neocon, in the extent of taking it literally. I am a new conservative. I hope to once be known as a paleocon.
What I'd like to know is where to find a good guide or some hints for a newbie like myself. Is there a guide? What's Smoky Backroom and GOP Club for? Stuff like that. Thank you dearly.

Dang. Must be a lot of retreads tonite.
I just don't believe the 13 year old statement. There were a few others also that had the trigger finger itching.
LOL. That was a good summary.
LOL!!! guilty as charged... However, I have noticed that there really seems to be plenty to go around lately.
We had another newbie bite the dust - Lebrea. Methinks we might have a major retread invasion underway tonight.

muha hahaha!! welcome to the dark side!
[/evil voice]
jk :)
All three newbies went down?
Maybe we've become a closed membership list...
I try not to get involved in these things, but the SeanQuinn guy emailed me and he really wants to come back!
A 400 pound troll only yields about 3 pounds of actual meat once you gut them and trim off all the fat. Don't let their Michael Moore dimensions fool you.
I would venture the Mods did a background check on them and found they all had priors...
The problem, most at DU have, (except for a few deep cover trolls here)is they think we look at # of posts to determine credibilty. So sad they are. "We look at the content of the post, not the quantity of posts"!
There were some things not completely explained. But the kid did have a friend here who vouched for him... from this side, it's just hard to guess what happened.
Well, even if he had priors... he admitted to an initial intent to be a troll earlier, but had had some change of heart.
Oh well, I shouldn't bond with them until they really settle in and stay. I've had such a weird day today the kid seemed sortof plausible in comparison.
Of Course I am not the All Seeing Mighty Mods, so what do I know?

I don't doubt that the trolls are capable of a plan of acting innocent, building up some credibility, and undermining us all the while. I hope we're doing it to them.
I just hope the Mods aren't zapping everyone who looks slightly, or even moderately, suspicious without further evidence that we can't see.
That ain't right, unless they give a reason. It doesn't cost them any more to post on this thread.
HUNH?????????????????????????????????????????????
It was one of the more creative "I used to be a liberal, but..." posts that I've seen. But the terminology was a bit too clinical to be sincere. The guy aspired to become a paleoconservative. You don't aspire to that, you just wake up one morning and realize that you are one. Plus, how many people in this country has even heard of the term paleoconservative, let alone knows what one is?
If he was honest, he would have had maybe one or two previous troll posts. But I would guess that he had several other previous attempts to troll, and the mods ran that down.
Plus, I remember my first few posts here. If you are a real newbie red-meat conservative, you don't suck up, you dish it out. Only later do you realize that you can learn something from all the other lunatics here, and start debating instead of just arguing.
Only those from the class of '98 and earlier get meat! LOL
unless you prove yourself to be nuttier than a Payday bar.Now thay's funny. I don't care who you are! That's funny!
