[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This forum seems to have gained a few trolls and definitely gained a right wing political lobbyist or two in the past few years. I had read about the political push to infiltrate listservs, interest and neighborhood groups, but it was a bit surreal to see it unfold[/b].Also,  either a kid troll or marketer or just rabid fan of neu and someone (probably a kid) who likes to rile said marketer. Definitely a bunch of HS and college kids either lurking or getting their kicks by trolling. Also,  a few people who like to pronounce judgment on others' parenting for any question asked. And the competitive ranking/testing/private results obsessors.

And, the rest are parents sharing info and ideas with good days and bad days and opinions (political both ways, parenting, financial, etc). Wish it were more of this last group, but we are still out here. You just have to wade through the other stuff.[/quote]

+1 on all this and especially the bold. RW talking points, both obvious and subtle, are all over this site, on every sub-forum.[/quote]

Been on DCUM for 15+ years, and it has always been like this. Aholes are aholes and always have been. And while I don’t doubt a kid trolls now and then, the vast majority of the aholes are adults using anonymity to be their absolute worst selves. I stay because it’s possible to pick through the stupid/mean and occasionally find something useful or even kind. But I agree with others that it’s probably best not to bother with this place if you’re not already sucked in.[/quote]
