Anyone else notice this lately on DU?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

The last few days, I've seen a LOT of people with about 20 posts or so asking "curiously worded" landmine questions? Do the Freepers have an organized movement this week or something? :wtf:

1. Yes. I guess use the ALERT button if it's too inflammatory, ignore

otherwise.

4. Oh, believe me, I do.

I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this trend especially this week.

5. So...

...were your posts unworthy to read before you hit 100+ posts? Sorry, some of us can't post as much as others...la

[Goldom]

6. and you will never get an answer

because you too, have under 100 posts, and are therefore ignored by him. ;-)

7. I was gonna say that... nt

8. That depends, newbie

After 100 posts, will you be able to distinguish between a "question" (which is what the poster referred to) and a "post" (which is how you misinterpreted it)?

9. "Internet Forum Dueling"

Is not generally a habit of those whose duties prevent them from posting.

10. Did I say I didn't read them?

No, I said I ignored them.

There is a difference, you know.

And 100 posts can be done in just a few days if you're serious about becoming a contributing member of DU.

11. Ha...

...you didn't ignore me...la

12. I rarely look at post counts myself

if it is a name that I recognize, okay. If not I read it and either answer it or don't (if I have anything to add) and I don't care if it is flame bait or not. Anyone can stay here as long as they have something worthwhile to say or add and yes even if it is negative to the Dems/Libs/Progs.

13. Are you actually Scouse or are the letters l and a stuck to your posts?

:D

14. locked

We all had 20 posts once. Let's not make arbitrary and snap decisions about new DUers based on post count.

And to all new DUers, welcome, we're glad to have you.
