New names with high post counts?

[OxQQme]

What's up with that?
I've been here since 2004 and have not seen so much divisive rhetoric.
It feels as though DU has been compromised.
"Purity" above all else.
Damn the messenger and to hell with the message if it doesn't come from a 'Pure source'.
Really?
Bots?
I guess some people just gotta hate.

1. Always been a problem around here. Some people honestly believe they have seen the true light...

Others seem to have less clear motives.

Either way, they have enough time and energy to drown out people actually working to get things done.

[Sedona]

2. Its been more divisive, I promise. One word......

PUMA

I rest my case.

3. These kerfuffles usually last about 3 days

Much like all else in our modern media-soaked brains, it takes about 3 days before the spleen venting and righteous indignation die down

[Aristus]

4. I've heard rumours of newbies hiding out in obscure forums to boost their post-count

before blazing into the high-use forums to troll the long-time DU-ers.

[Bladewire]

5. Divide and conquer

It worked for them last election cycle, it won't work this election cycle

[Orrex]

6. THEM'S FIGHTING WORDS!!!!!!1!

[Weekend Warrior]

7. I was here under a different name after the '08 primaries.

Today, this place looks like a day spa compared to that. It's why I'm back.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Yeah. 2004 was a shitshow, too.

People seem to forget.

What was your old name, if you don't mind my asking?

[Stuart G]

9. Well...that's it...I have never heard this place called a "day spa" ..under

any circumstances....any comparisons..anything......

You win.............................................a hattip...
