Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Post removed [View all]I've seen that where the baited one gets alerted. When I was a kid, my sister did that to me all the time. I got in far more trouble than her because of it. To this day, she is still embarrassed though!
I make it a point to always "Welcome to DU" to newcomers. One, it is a nice thing to do (a lot of people welcomed me years ago) and two, if they aren't legit, they know their newness is apparent.
I do remember that it did make me feel good to have people welcome me way back in 2004. It helps to draw people into the conversation. If their motives aren't good, it will become obvious.
Note: Also not a Meta post, just sharing some observations!
