This sucks. I'm new, so I'm a troll. I only support Edwards.

[Verde]

I don't think Al gore's going to run, I support Edwards and I don't have 1000+ posts.

Search my comments and pick it for yourself.

(You will also find the suggestions that I am a troll on those threads)

1. Welcome from another newbie

[lonestarnot]

Welcome to DU :toast:

[scarletwoman]

3. I didn't realize this was all about you. I guess I'll have to catch up on my reading.

[lonestarnot]

8. hmmm.

:popcorn:

[scarletwoman]

22. LOL! Not at all charitable of me, I know. My bad.

My sympathies are running a bit thin tonight.

And I don't much give a rip about who supports which candidate right now, what with bushco about to drop nukes on Iran sometime in the next few weeks.

So yeah, I'm feeling mean.

[Verde]

10. No.... It's about the comments saying "only so many posts" and you say this....

Thanks.

[scarletwoman]

32. I don't look at post counts, I look at the quality of what someone has to say.

Sorry if you've had a hard time. Don't take it personally, you're not the only one it's ever happened to.

5. Sorry for the sour introduction to DU

keep posting anyway! Welcome! :)

[leftofthedial]

7. Oh great. A newbie Edwards troll.

;-)

Welcome to DU!

[Annces]

9. That is funny

People really want Gore to run. (You catch on quick for a newbie, already starting your own sympathy threads).

[citizen snips]

11. welcome to DU

:hi:

[Sherman A1]

12. Welcome to both of you

might find this thread amusing......

I am a troll as well.... One who likes a big field of candidates so we hear lots of ideas and discussion from both sides...

[Verde]

17. LOL! Thanks!

I guess I need to find that test as well.

[Dracos]

13. I have had not had this problem

lest not that I know of.I also am leaning toward Edwards.

[Patsy Stone]

26. Welcome to you, too! n/t

[LoZoccolo]

14. I am a Republican and DLC operative troll with 15000+ posts.

This despite the fact that with every post I encourage people to get involved with the Democratic Party in my signature, and have been by my own admission harsh with people who show disloyalty to the Democratic Party.

[Ellipsis]

36. LOL sporting a new avatar I see. ...Nice! n/t

[Cleita]

15. Welcome again!

Stick around. The real trolls are the ones projecting. It's happened to all of us when we first arrived at DU until we got known.

[Skidmore]

16. Welcome, Verde!

Do you know about Edward's lightbulbs? :D

[Verde]

21. LOL! And Obama's brand of Ciggy's!

n/t

[evlbstrd]

18. Welcome to DU.

And take heart.
I do think Gore's going to run and I'm part of the Draft Gore Movement.
Suppport who you want, I do. The will he/won't he exchanges are pointless. But when you come in with a low post count and start bursting candidate bubbles, your trolldom will come into question. Post pro-Edwards rather than anti-Gore and you'll get along a little better.

edit:
You can bash Hillary all you want.

[Az]

19. Hey I am a regular and I support Edwards too.

Yay team!

[demnan]

20. Well, I'm sorry, this is a really rude forum

I welcome you to DU :hi: It takes some thick skin to get through the GD forum. Right now I lean towards Edwards as well. To give you a little history, during the last primary season this forum nearly self-destructed. I don't take part in the debates about the candidates too much now because of that.

But no, it isn't you.

[Patsy Stone]

23. Welcome to DU!

Fasten your seatbelts. It's gonna be a bumpy primary season.

[Kagemusha]

24. It gets heated every election cycle.

Meaning a lot of the time.

High stakes and all. Try not to take it personally :)

[Algorem]

25. Democrats should believe in a big house.Tent.I meant tent.Big tent.

[countingbluecars]

27. Sorry,

but you seem to be sending out mixed messages. I took your "Are we being punked?" thread to mean we should avoid threads like your later "Al won't run." thread.

Welcome to DU.

[Nikki Stone1]

28. You could have avoided all this if you had brought beer

Or for me, a fine old cognac. :)

[chknltl]

29. Welcome to DU Verde

...sorry someone here called you a troll. If a troll you actually be, then you'll get rounded up and stuck in the troll jail by the troll police... in the meanwhile you are my fellow DUer whose opinions and thoughts and contributions are welcome here... It would be nice if some of my other fellow DUers could be a little more...um...NICE when disagreeing with their fellow DUers thoughts. I wonder how many brilliant minds we may have lost here in the DU over witnessing one of our way-too-frequent flame wars and thought to themselves: "How petty...I'm out of here!"

Hang in there Verde... :pals:

[Harper_is_Bush]

30. What sucks is public whining about being called a troll. Here's what ur supposed to do:

report it.

This sort of topic is attention whore type stuff.

[Nikki Stone1]

38. Oh come on, I've seen lots of folks post complaint threads like, "I'm leaving! You are all mean."

Or something similar.

If Verde is a troll, it will out eventually. If Verde is just new, so what?

And yes, I saw his "Al isn't running" thread. It reminds me of all the "pull my finger" threads which everyone says are "satire" or whatever.

[Mz Pip]

31. Welcome

I don't know who I'm supporting yet.

I like them all. That should probably make me suspect.

[Fridays Child]

33. I went to hear Edwards speak in the fall of 2004...

He was wonderful and very charismatic. And Elizabeth Edwards actually posted here, a few times, back in 2004. She is well loved by most of us.

[xultar]

34. If I called you a goddamned Herbert would you be offended. Just wanna get your opinion...

That's now! That's real now!

I reach that brother.

Welcome to DU.

Yes. I'm watching it right now.

[John Q. Citizen]

35. Do you have a valid troll badge?

I do think Gore is going to run.

But I could be wrong. I hope I'm not wrong.

Welcome, and enjoy!

[Pastiche423]

37. Whining already?

You'll never make it here.

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

39. I'm going to lock this.
