Has Anyone Noticed How Many Fake Profiles?
It appears since the election is over a lot of people are creating bogus and cowardly profiles to say things they normally wouldn't say under their "real" user name.
So when you see comments/answers that are way out, rude, nasty, or racist look at their profile and see how long they have been a member.
Question has anyone else noticed this???????

I haven't noticed because I have been simultaneously wrapping up a five page research paper due tomorrow morning *lol*, but I would guess another reason why someone might create a fake profile if it is not just to be rude or racist is because so many people have clashing ideas. If I write that I like Obama, I get thumbs ups AND thumbs down.
But yea, that's really sad that people are being so mean that they create a new profile.

Yeah, I have noticed it on both sides (Republican/conservative and Democrat/liberal).
I just ignore the cowards. If you can't say what you mean then you don't deserve to be heard.
While I strongly opposed Obama (and McCain too, they are two sides of the same coin), he is President elect and I will support him. That doesn't mean I will support all or most of his proposed policies, or that I won't oppose those that I feel are wrong, but, he will soon be my President.
As the saying goes, you respect the office, even if you don't respect the person holding it.

That doesnt mean anything
Trolls usually get their accts deleted quickly so they usually arent long term members under the same acct

sure they know they will get banned for all that crap so they make a 'troll' account.
