Yep. Typically, I’m quite surprised at how conservative (or at least not screaming-liberal) that the DM message boards are. I’ve commented on a few things there and have fully expected to be shouted down hard. Far from it. I agree, you can tell when the liberals are stuffing the ballot box. The good thing is that the system will right itself as long as the DM staff doesn’t move in and shut down comments or up/down votes soon after the article hits.
This is why I don’t believe in “Freeping” polls and the calls of, “Hey, guys, check out how many people are taking the liberal side over at this website. Let’s get over there and represent!” I don’t like it when Democrats do it, so I think it’s hypocritical for us to be going out and doing it.
Absolutely agree. Call them on their insidious and dishonest practices, don’t emulate them.
