In reply to the discussion: The chilling effect of misogynistic trolls [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)they are disagreeing with the prevailing view. That is not supposed to happen, but it does. I guess people here have had a lot of experience with new posters who turn out to be RW trolls, maybe even RW trolls who were banned for that in the past and have signed up again under another name.
Because I don't take the prevailing view here I am still, after thousands of posts, accused of being RW or a Paul supporter or both, when the reality is that I am to the left of the posters accusing you. Not usually to my face, mind you. There is a habit here of discussing individual DUers or groups of DUers on the board, but with third parties. It's divisive shit stirring, IMO, but I have fallen into it on occasion, including maybe in this very post, so mea maxima culpa.
But again, there is a lot of reason why I keep posting here, so please bear that in mind.
