There was a 97 or 98 signup that I saw Jim ban. She supported Obama. Just because they signed up back then doesn’t mean their opinions haven’t changed. Or that a family member isn’t using their account. I saw an old account that was being used by a young man that admitted his Dad died and he was using Dad’s. Signup date doesn’t mean anything anymore.
Was that young man DT something or other, recently? If that was it, it was a very unsavory comment.
I just checked (from another Lakin thread) a comment from someone with a 2000 signup date, a usual after-birther type comment.
I checked 6 pp of posting history. Primarily trivia, sort of an arrogant type attitude, nothing standing out as conservative viewpoint. And 6 pp went back to 2002. So not an active conservative freeper at all. And all of a sudden a rabid “after birther” type comment.
Old signup dates can be easily checked for posting history and it usually tells the tale.
