13. What a sweet welcome. Thank you. |
|
Speaking for myself, I'm one of those...dedicated...newbies. I'm a rock-solid Democrat whose been lurking for months. When I chose to add myself to the traffic of a busy website, I feel the least I can do is contribute to the cost -- I'm no freeloader. Thanks again for your backhanded welcome.

16. He said the same thing on another thread yesterday. |
|
I took it as a flat out insult. You are being a lot more kind hearted.
Totally agree with you about not being a freeloader. I lurked for a few months before joining. This is the first board where I've truly felt at 'home'. As for people like the guy above our posts - :P

You're most certainly correct that it was intended as an insult! For posters who don't have a moderator icon next to their names, they're a little too territorial about this board. But then, moderator status requires tact & reason, doesn't it. ;)

14. You know I lurked here for at least a year before I ever |
|
registered. And then once I registered, I hardly ever posted. I was sucking off of everyone and learning everything I could. I was politically and historically naive. So I think it is reasonable to think that someone who has been lurking for some time to register and donate at the same time.

24. Confession is good for the soul. |
|
I did the same thing, liberalnproud. Then I realized I need to put a few bucks where my interests are, so I'm a proud newbie too.

17. now is the time to speak up |
|
The country has been hyjakked, and its time to rush them, take away their box cutters and end the war of divisiveness.
It is good that new people feel inspired to tell the truth.
Speak up now, or risk losing the right to speak freely.

18. With the election heating up, infrequent posters start coming out, too |
|
Like me. Still under 300 posts even though I've been posting since before the beginning of the Iraq War, and lurking without posting for even longer.

21. I'm a newbie and donated |
|
I also lurked, off and on, for years. I remember this place being call the Grassy Knoll Society. I was shocked to see how conservative some want it to be and how many freepers are lurking. So, I can understand the paranoia and don't really mind.
Hey, I even got freeped today. It felt great! I feel like I've found a home.
