Reply #9: okay alright, just keep posting what you believe or question

Everybody here goes through the same thing, newbies get grilled all the time. I have been here over 2 years but have a really low post count because I used to just lurk and get the latest breaking news.

I came to DU sometime after 9/11 because this was one of the only places where people still question authority, and I felt that there were a lot of intelligent people with insightful commentary. From the early days it was posters like Eloriel and William Pitt, that I admired, for their tenacity and willingness to investigate issues and uncover facts that the you will never see in the mainstream media.

Don't take attacks on your posts personally. You need to realize that online there is no way for people to hear your vocal intonations and things like sarcasm or emotional responses are not conveyed the same way through type.

If you like it here even if you don't agree with other people, then stay, and make sure that your voice is heard. This is still a democracy, well... This is still the DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND!

Welcome to DU!
