Is it my imagination, or do we have a lot less trollery and nastiness here on DU since the new rules


about the 5 hides etc took place?

I'm actually enjoying it here again now.

DUmmy kestrelnumbers is right.

The DUmp sucks.

nadin is afraid to open her big, illiterate mouth.

The Top DUmmies have been muzzled.

Can anything be done about this?   

I went over there earlier, and it was as bad as going to the zoo during feeding time, when all of the animals are not out where you can see them.

2. It's got to me

I am really working hard to keep from feeding trolls.

Earl, Earl, Earl

Right, it's your hard work. And only your hard work. Your hard work and your extended brain-pan. It's the hard work and extended brain-pans of the DUmmies like you Earl that is cutting down on the trollery. You and that dunce onehandle, who actually to his credit managed to post a few words that didn't have a reference to gunz. I expect that onehandle will soon announce that he is going on "vacation" at the "institution" in an effort to get his "focus" back on gunz. But that is a story for another day. In the by and by, Earl, go ahead and pat yourself on the back, you have eliminated the trolls on DU.

11. I am posting a lot less

Reading less, and posting less OPs as well. Sticking mostly to other places.

I suspect I am not alone. Granted, I started that well before those "rules" came in.

good

yeah, maybe these new rules explain why so many of these DUmmies have gone missing - haven't seen nadin, dorkangel, rsmithnumbers, stevenumbers or cali around much lately to name just a few.

4. Yes, it's changed very much for the better

I was a little leery at first because I knew some of the posters I liked to read were a little overly passionate and got posts hidden quite a bit.
 
They're still here, so I imagine the rules allow for a time out along with being shown the door by the front third of Skinner's right shoe.

OK dear Warpy. Think of skinner as the superintendent at your local insane asylum. No matter how nice he comes across to you, you are only a patient. And the patients are always going to be patients to him. Sucking. up. will. get. you. no. where.

There is a measurable chance that rsmithnumbers primitive's absence can be explained as work related. 

He may have been asked to back up his shuttle truck some time in mid-December, and to this day he is still furiously backing up and pulling forward, backing up and pulling forward in an attempt to get lined up.

I'm glad you're providing this great public service.  You folks are doing the Lord's work.

Maybe a work-related injury . . . which keeps him from going on DU.
