(625 posts)to posters . . . when it is impossible for you to know such things.
I've been accused on message boards (not this one . . . yet) for trolling against Obama when I spent hours actively campaigning for the guy--and not just fund raisers at Dem HQ's; I'm talking about house-to-house street canvassing.
But a little realistic criticism of our president, plus a huge imagination on the part of other posters, and suddenly I'm the enemy.
Or take another example--when I first started posting here, a dude got PPR'd and the people who ousted him danced on his grave very publicly. That poster had been here for over ten years and had many thousands of posts. His only "crime" was making the wrong people mad at him. I couldn't believe how quickly people turn on each other here, accuse them of every vile motivation, and get them banned. And then celebrate it.
Sickening.
