Holy paranoid Batman! While I’m sure this place does get plenty of individuals that come here to cause trouble (yeah, I’ve heard O’Reilley’s rants), did you happen to see the other posts I have made before jumping to an erroneous conclusion? As I stated before, my reason for posting this article is because I like to read the news stories on here, as well as the comments. I did not see this particular article and thought I’d repay the favor of someone informing me by posting something I didn’t see here. I’m sure a lot of people weren’t even aware of this...I know I wasn’t. I’m sorry if it’s considered a “classic” troll bait topic, but in that case, what topics WOULD be okay for a “newbie” (who has lurked on here for years btw) to post? Actually, if it WAS such a classic topic, surely I would have read about it from someone else rather than resorted to posting it myself. Again, I’m sorry if you think I’m some evil, manipulative progressive coming on here to snatch your words away and post on Daily Kos or some other garbage site, but not everyone that’s new has bad intentions if they happen to post a “hot topic”. Sheesh.
You gave a good description of why I have only posted one story the whole time I’ve been here. I also lurked for years before signing up and apparently stll didn’t do it right according to other Freepers. Don’t apologize to me. I don’t run the place.
