In reply to the discussion: Top 20 signs you might be a counterproductive left wingnut [View all]Fumesucker
(45,851 posts)610. One thing I have learned here over the years is not to take anything at face value
A lesson I don't always apply as rigorously as I should but c'est la vie, eh?
It wouldn't surprise me at all if there were JBS members on DU, anyone can register and post, some trolls have stuck around for years and tens of thousands of posts.
Increasingly these days I wonder why I'm still here since the idea of DU as a refuge from the conservative mainstream libeling of liberals has long since become one with Nineveh and Tyre.
