The DUmpster Forum Rules
All General Board Rules apply here. This is the section for bringing over illuminating posts from democraticunderground. Posts from other sites of liberal lunacy are to be posted in the "Mind-Numbing Stupidity" Forum. Any commentary should be placed within the message body under the quoted material. Moderators reserve the right to edit, delete or move any posts as they see fit.

Do not post pictures of primitives "hot-linking" (whatever it is) from their own bandwidth.
Links to those same pictures are okay, or if one wishes to post a photograph, copy it into one's own photobucket or whatever account, and link it from there.
Do not post personal information (real-life names, addresses, whatnot) about a primitive unless the primitive has proven stupid enough to have given that information on Skins's island or posted that information elsewhere on the internet.If a primitive's already blabbed--and so God help me, they are
certainly uninhibited in such things--posting something personal on Skins's island, well, the whole world knows it anyway, so no harm done.
But because it's important that the primitives
not know what decent and civilized people and members of left-wing message-boards not Skins's island, know about them, don't say something unless a primitive's already spilled the beans himself.

Please put what is cut and pasted from DU (or elsewhere) inside a quote box in your posts. This makes for easier reading. We don't want lurkers to get confused.
Here is how it should look:

Once in a while, a
bona fide primitive, an authentic primitive, makes a statement with which decent and civilized people might agree, or otherwise find admirable.
In those cases, it's generally
not a good idea to compliment the primitive here in the DUmpster, as compliments from this quarter lead other primitives to doubt, question, ostracize the temporarily-reasonable primitive, sometimes even driving the primitive away from Skins's island.
Such primitives, or their comments, do have some use for us, usually as unwitting trolls.
If one has something nice to say about a primitive, it's always best to say so in a non-public forum.
