[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm new to this site and I'm having a hard time following some of the posts.  What is DS?  DC?  DH?  I'm lost with all the short-hand.  I'm only 37 -- am I really that old????[/quote]

What are "sock puppets and trolls"?  Probably here somewhere but I don't feel like reading the entire thread.  Thanks.[/quote]

A "sock puppet" is somebody who post her opinion, and then posts again (and maybe again) to say she agrees with the previous post - which was her own opinion.  She's making it look like others think she's reasonable, even if she's nuts (and I don't just mean the sock puppeting).  It can be hard to identify "sock puppets" on an anonymous forum, but sometimes it's obvious from similar typing or grammatical errors, or speech tics.

A "troll" is somebody who just likes to push buttons and get everybody upset.  The best strategy is to step around them, like a pile of dog doo, but sometimes I can't resist telling them they are idiots.[/quote]

I love people like you.  Seriously.  We'd be friends if I knew who the hell you are.  LOL![/quote]
