Were any good of you ever members or posters on DU? I actually joined once back in 2009 looking for intelligent debate. What I found was creepy cult worship of Obama. When I questioned this cult like stuff I got banned.. Since then I enjoy the site for good comic relief.
Many moons ago, while not understanding what I was wading into, I too, signed up and made an attempt to "debate". I was banned after my first post, which was very civil... just not what they wanted to hear.
Obviously, I learned what that pit of vipers is for rather quickly and made a few failed attempts at trolling them over the years, but I've never been very skilled at it like some are.
so yea, unless you want to polish up your trolling skills and have some fun, the other option is to just laugh at the DUmb bastards from a distance. You wouldn't want any of that rubbing off on you... they are a special kind of vile
