o welcome, and do try to ignore the types that you are running away from that you will find here. I've been banned from DU twice and both times came as something of a surprise. Apparently, libertarians aren't tolerated much there.

I suspect that a lack of profanity combined with attempts to argue on the issues without resorting to inane sources of information, such as truthout.com, while using logic probably gave you away as a conservative. This sort of behavior will mark you as a dusruptor and "bully" at DU, as will making statements like "conservatives are not NAZIs".

Sorry to JimRob, but I enjoy playing with the DU'ers. They're a running joke at the office.

Well, it appears that they started a mockery-and-ridicule thread over at DU almost immediately in response to this one. I won't post a link. Let it suffice to say that any degree of contempt anyone here may express for DU is well and truly earned.

I saw someone chastised at DU, and then accused of possibly being a conservative. His sin? He was told that he was too direct, to the point, and concise with his posts! Happend in the past few weeks.

It's caused me to be more 'wordy' when posting there. Helps to have some inane 'signature line' too, I think.
