All newbies are trolls?
LOL As a new poster, I sometimes get that treatment, too, usually when somone disagrees with me and wants to take a cheap shot.
Not too long ago, rather than make a rational argument, someone posted my signup date and said “Enjoying Free Republic, newbie?”
I was tempted to say, “Why yes, thank you! Of course, I get the occasional nitwit who thinks a new member is automatically a troll, but luckily those idiots are few and far between. Most Freepers I’ve found to be reasonable, and it’s good to be around likeminded conservatives.”
Next time some blowhard tries that crap, that IS what I’ll say!
