I checked out the Dark Syde experience and one other person who went over and got banned.  It is weird over there.  Sure if you over with the intent of getting in their faces, you are asking to get banned.  But Red State has a chip on their shoulder which isn't really helped when people from Daily Kos make a circus out of their experiences there.  So they get bent out of shape when they think people are posting with intent to ridicule.  Even if people are trying hard to have an honest conversation, being a kos poster makes them automatically suspect.

That's sad because I'd like to go over there and lurk with intent to post sometime.  I'd like to go over there honestly with this username.  But it would be ridiculous for me to have to put up with the "You're just some troll from dKos who wants to mock us." attitude every time I comment.  I haven't decided what I'll do yet.  Perhaps I'll slink over under an assumed identity.
