How many "Freep" around here?
After reading some hilarious trolling stories, I wanted to get an idea of how many DU folks actually hang out at FreeRepublic? I've seen a few hilarious "extreme right" stuff over there lately and thought it had to be one of us. After being banned 3 times, I really have to pick and choose my moments to be on point but it's always nice to know you all are around there too.

So do any of you actually post stuff or do you just read the crap?

1. I only go when linked from here.
There is no way I could bring myself to troll there.

2. Neither... If something is re-posted here, I might read it...
...but I generally stay away from the FreakRepugnant site.:puke:

3. Why would I even read it?
There are probably a few fairly normal people who post there, but the raging hate-spewers drown them all out. No reason is allowed or they ban you. I've been there a couple of times in the past just to see and it was so disgusting I decided I'd rather not bother.

Screw that place. If I wanted to hear from an asshole...

5. When I started posting on DU I used to troll at Freep.
But after a few weeks it got dull.

I simply don't visit FR at all anymore. Not only are they fascist nut-balls, but it's such a poorly designed site I'm amazed that they still find people willing to subscribe.

6. If there's a link
I might follow it. The site is laid out so poorly compared to here, and the rhetoric is harsh. I have no desire to post or troll there, I don't wade through raw sewage either.:scared:

8. I don't even click on links when they are provided here.
That's how much I detest that site.

But can I take this opportunity to say I fancy myself rather good at catching freeper trolls HERE?

Yep. I've caught quite a few! It's like a sport!

10. I've thought about it a few times,
but when I go over there, the atrocious site design drives me away.

14. Only when linked...

15. no way
I won't give 'em my clicks.

But if you have the stomach and skillz to mess with them, good on you!

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
