Here's the OP, where the new guy tries to defend/explain an earlier post.

 I did NOT "defend the Klan"

I've seen comments here from several posters and jury members claiming I "defended the KKK/Klan." I absolutely did no such thing! What I defended was known historical facts. The KKK at one time actually did try to make social and political reforms. Yes, their primary activities where overwhelmingly violent and terroristic -- I do NOT deny that -- but pointing out that it actually is accurate to say that they engaged in social and political reforms (no matter how wrongheaded the attempts -- which obviously failed spectacularly -- were) and questioning a source that does not provide full context of a couple of lines from a textbook is hardly "defending the Klan." Honestly, it's pretty sickening that this accusation was used by some jury members to deny my reporting of a disruptive, off-topic jab against me in a completely unrelated thread.

Now, quick! Someone be completely predictable and dismiss my complaints because I'm a "noob."

There are the predictable stones cast at this post, and then comes the moment of enlightenment.

19. Probably not
It seems that people have a tendency to want to drive out anyone who doesn't mindlessly agree with them on even very minor points.

 Really SaB2012?  Ya think?

I wonder how much longer the noob is going to last?

I suspect he will not last long, due to questioning the echo chamber they have at DU.  If you go outside the collective, even if you are employing common sense, your days are numbered.  There will be no thinking for yourself among the DUmbasses.

Well then the noob stands that much more of a chance at being a success in life.
