Hearts or DU funds raised RU a freeper if U don't have many hearts?
Edited on Sat Feb-16-08 08:31 PM by Omaha Steve

I have a couple close friends here I know are Dems. A couple only have a few hearts. Do the trolls give hearts to themselves knowing it will raise $ for the DU?

4. Well, I see you have a lot of hearts.
If you have a sense of competitiveness, then you should feel very happy about yourself.

I donate when I'm able to, which may not coincide with the DU fundraiser periods.

6. I really don't think the hearts are much more than an indicator of
how frequently you post.

If you've only post a couple times during the drive you're probably not going to have any hearts.
If you post a lot during the drive you're more likely to have people see one of your posts they like and give you a heart.

8. I don't even know what you're trying to say
People with more hearts are true Democrats? People with more hearts are freeper trolls? People with more hearts just gave their hearts to themselves?

Should I assume I'm not a real Dem or that I'm a troll and just don't know it since I don't have as many as you do?

9. NO!

I'm wondering IF FREEPERS would give themselves a heart knowing it would help DU?

I've never been one to look for hearts etc.... People that know me would know that. I've posted way to many don't knock other Dems in office to be ever thought of as a Rep in disguise.

and I'm very appreciative of such a selfless act. I hope I'll someday be able to pay it forward.

Well, he tells me that the next thing I can watch for is the Canon 16-35 f/2.8 L lens, even though I protested that I'd be perfectly fine with the 17-40 for about half as much money. He's impossible...it's embarrassing to me that he spoils me so much. :blush:

This didn't go the way I thought it would. But I'm medicated for cold/flu. So is Marta. It has been fun the last few days. We even have Monday as a holiday, but even it ain't looking good.

You probably know I'm not a freeper. And we know you're not.

It all helps DU, so if moles & socks contribute, all the better for everyone. (Besides, who cares about them?)

But since I don't post much, I never expected any hearts to begin with.

34. I'm just not very popular.
I think this will be the first year I've even gotten one.

And to whoever committed that senseless act of kindness, I say: if you think it's going to melt my frozen heart, nice try. I'm still as miserable, mad and boring as ever.

42. Hey GGM relax and enjoy!
Ya gotta know that the one heart club is the place to be! This heart thing reminds me of High School when they sold roses to be delivered for Valentine's Day. We knew that the 'cheerleaders' and 'popular crowd' would be carrying bushels. Being left out, left a definite scar. Oh the hope for just one. I was heartless for a long time until some sweet soul dropped one on me. I think the crowd at DU does try to spread the love. Peace and love to you, Kim

People who don't have a lot of hearts aren't necessarily freepers.

39. I have only four and I thank whoever got them for me
I don't have a clue who did but if only 4 hearts makes me a freeper than I've been doing a pretty good job of hiding it for 4 years now.

44. Try it this way: Do freepers camouflage themselves by buying hearts?

Would they do that knowing it raises funds for the DU? That is all I was getting at. I didn't mean to insult people.

48. Clearly Not One of "The Club"
Every year, this "Valentine Heart" thing comes around, and the "in-crowd" shoves our faces in the shit for totally incoherent reasons. I do not post messages or even go online for weeks at a time--is that it? Is it that I do not go to DU Meet-ups or post back and forth conversationally like they do on the DU Lounge? When I post, I tend to get generally good reactions, and many telling me what a great post it was, etc., so I do not know what it is based on. I do not have enough money to donate, do not hang on every day, and have many differences of opinion with the crowd; I do not just agree with everything here. I generally think things are going fine, then every year those of us who are not "the favorites," the ones the Administrators/Moderators never reply to, etc., get the "special message" yet again, that we are not part of the club. How fun this time of year must be for you people.

49. no it is that you didn't post anything, so no one found you to GIVE you
a heart. and if i had a heart to give, or ten hearts to give, right now, .... you would be the one i would give all to. unfortunately, i gave all my hearts away in the middle of the week. wish i had run into you or one of your posts....
