Why Some Freepers Don't Post Here: DU's Too Hard!
Just, out of an instinct for self-abuse no doubt, took a minute out to check on the FUD being cycled about on Free Republic.

I'm used to the idea of WATBs over there crying because sane people don't love them, but here's something I didn't realize: DU's apparently too tough for Freepers to use. Take it away, BlueStateBlues:

Thank God for FR. I went to Dem.underground and a couple of other sites to read their threads, looked for their threads, found them but couldn't figure out how to read them, and saw they all had some kind of voting system just to get the thread on the screen


There you have it. DU's too hard!

Good work, Skinner and EarlG!

1. Funny. I think the opposite.
DU is easy and FR is painful to use.

2. Comparing the DU interface with the FreeRepublic...
It is clear that Freepers aren't the most web-savvy lot. I was writing better web pages 15 years ago!

3. Well
I would think the biggest reason they don't is that they will be banned!:shrug:

Reality does matter, despite their disdain for it.
