It happens to be my name? I just joined yesterday, and I thought this was a forum for free speech. Am I supposed to have some pithy name to post by? Sorry, I didnt read that in the rules anywhere.

I'm willing to apologize for jumping to conclusions.
 
But 9 times out of 10 it's a conservative troll that comes to a progressive site for a first time post with no profile (and puts up something ripping Obama with a linking to a laughably bad and biased right-wing website).

Do you understand why I and others might be, at the very least, skeptical?

As for your name, I like it. My girlfriend's name is Cheryl and I have another friend named Cheryl. My comment about the name was over taking offense that someone I perceived to be a conservative troll had picked that name instead of a 'pithy' one.


So again, if I misread you and you aren't here to just find ways to spread anti-Obama propaganda while pretending to be moderate, I sincerely apologize.  Of course you're free to say whatever you want, but by the same token I and others are free to call people out on perceived BS and questionable potential motives they may have.


I'd be very happy to be proven wrong. Then we'll have another great addition to TYT and I'll look like a fool.  Welcome to TYT Cheryl. :)
