Hearts or DU funds raised RU a freeper if U don't have many hearts?

[Omaha Steve]

I have a couple close friends here I know are Dems. A couple only have a few hearts. Do the trolls give hearts to themselves knowing it will raise $ for the DU?

1. .

2. If I wasn't so broke I would buy you a heart

[5X]

3. I will wear my nakednees proudly. n/t

[5X]

5. Damn, now I gots to splain it.

But, thank you very much to the kind, generous soul.

[pacalo]

4. Well, I see you have a lot of hearts.

If you have a sense of competitiveness, then you should feel very happy about yourself.

I donate when I'm able to, which may not coincide with the DU fundraiser periods.

[Clovis Sangrail]

6. I really don't think the hearts are much more than an indicator of

how frequently you post.

If you've only post a couple times during the drive you're probably not going to have any hearts.
If you post a lot during the drive you're more likely to have people see one of your posts they like and give you a heart.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. Are you saying that we have trolls here typing with hairy palms from hearting themselves?

:rofl:

[Der Blaue Engel]

8. I don't even know what you're trying to say

People with more hearts are true Democrats? People with more hearts are freeper trolls? People with more hearts just gave their hearts to themselves?

Should I assume I'm not a real Dem or that I'm a troll and just don't know it since I don't have as many as you do?

[Omaha Steve]

9. NO!

I'm wondering IF FREEPERS would give themselves a heart knowing it would help DU?

I've never been one to look for hearts etc.... People that know me would know that. I've posted way to many don't knock other Dems in office to be ever thought of as a Rep in disguise.

[Clovis Sangrail]

13. ah...

I think the title of your thread got some people (me included) confused.

[seabeyond]

27. yup, i donated lots of money to du, to give me hearts, to troll. lol lol

answer to your question. no. i do not think the trolls are buying hearts, giving them to themselves to troll du.

[peace13]

10. Hey Steve I have one heart and that is fine with me.

You worry too much. It all comes out in the wash. Peace, Kim

[kevinbgoode]

31. Thank you. I have one heart because of someone's kindness

and I'm very appreciative of such a selfless act. I hope I'll someday be able to pay it forward.

[peace13]

41. I hear that! n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

11. I'm not a troll

but my husband gave me five, so looks can be deceiving.

[TahitiNut]

21. That's terrible!

He's supposed to buy you camera gear! :evilgrin:

[Blue_In_AK]

24. LOL.

Well, he tells me that the next thing I can watch for is the Canon 16-35 f/2.8 L lens, even though I protested that I'd be perfectly fine with the 17-40 for about half as much money. He's impossible...it's embarrassing to me that he spoils me so much. :blush:

[Betty]

36. everyone has at least one heart

as far as I can tell...

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Hold out for flowers next time

:)

[Blue_In_AK]

51. How's this?

Not only locally made truffles, but a dark chocolate box to put them in. I can't complain. :)

[hippywife]

12. Alright...

who's been buying hearts for my husband? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2877684&mesg_id=2877722

:hi:

[flvegan]

14. I don't think I'm a troll.

I didn't give any of these to myself, and I'm thankful for every single one of them.

[Critters2]

25. And we know this how?

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

28. You, friend...are bad.

That's not just opinion, but fact.

[Critters2]

30. Holy crap!! I think your hearts multiplied since your last post!!

You should get those things neutered!!

[wellstone dem]

15. Oh no, I was feeling bad enough that I only had one heart, and now

someone goes and calls me a freeper.

[wellstone dem]

18. I knew I could grovel for at least one more!!! Thank you

whoever you are!!!

[seabeyond]

29. actually i thought he meant the less hearts, the truer democrat.

so confused.... lol, wink. glad to see you picked up one more. if i had any to give, i would give you one. maybe enough to make you a troll.

[Omaha Steve]

16. My apology

This didn't go the way I thought it would. But I'm medicated for cold/flu. So is Marta. It has been fun the last few days. We even have Monday as a holiday, but even it ain't looking good.

[jwirr]

17. How about poor. I also gave one of my hearts away.

[yewberry]

19. Dunno, man.

You probably know I'm not a freeper. And we know you're not.

It all helps DU, so if moles & socks contribute, all the better for everyone. (Besides, who cares about them?)

:toast:

[Kingofalldems]

20. I think Grovelbot gave me a heart

I haven't seen anyone without one.

[Critters2]

26. There are a few around without any,

and believe me, Grovelbot don't give it away!!

[tyedyeto]

22. Guess so... even tho I've never voted Repug since 1972.

But since I don't post much, I never expected any hearts to begin with.

[Le Taz Hot]

23. Nah, I'm just really unpopular on this board.

:evilgrin:

[The Straight Story]

32. So true, but hell - here is a heart for ya

Cause I got to dump em somewhere :rofl:

[Le Taz Hot]

35. Now, now, you'll turn my head with that kind of talk.

:+

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

33. I didn't heart myself...

And I'm most definitely a progressive liberal. Any questions? :)

[girl gone mad]

34. I'm just not very popular.

I think this will be the first year I've even gotten one.

And to whoever committed that senseless act of kindness, I say: if you think it's going to melt my frozen heart, nice try. I'm still as miserable, mad and boring as ever.

[peace13]

42. Hey GGM relax and enjoy!

Ya gotta know that the one heart club is the place to be! This heart thing reminds me of High School when they sold roses to be delivered for Valentine's Day. We knew that the 'cheerleaders' and 'popular crowd' would be carrying bushels. Being left out, left a definite scar. Oh the hope for just one. I was heartless for a long time until some sweet soul dropped one on me. I think the crowd at DU does try to spread the love. Peace and love to you, Kim

[WritersBlock]

45. Hah! I've just moved you out of that club ;)

:toast:

[peace13]

52. Ha! You are too funny!

Thanks for that. Peace, Kim

[EstimatedProphet]

38. How about "no"?

Is this just another way of trying to attack DU posters?

[Richardo]

40. I don't know what to answer because the OP doesn't make the slightest sense...

How about 'Wednesday'?

[EstimatedProphet]

43. That doesn't make sense? OK, how about "No, that's not what they're being used for"?

People who don't have a lot of hearts aren't necessarily freepers.

Mr. Have-a-lot-of-hearts! :)

[shadowknows69]

39. I have only four and I thank whoever got them for me

I don't have a clue who did but if only 4 hearts makes me a freeper than I've been doing a pretty good job of hiding it for 4 years now.

[Omaha Steve]

44. Try it this way: Do freepers camouflage themselves by buying hearts?

Would they do that knowing it raises funds for the DU? That is all I was getting at. I didn't mean to insult people.

[seabeyond]

47. if they give money to du because they want to appear part of.... who cares

let them. i would think only a fool would give their money to a group they do not like. but i can easily see the foolish doing just that. fine with me. a little more in skinners pocket. and they will either play their little games on this site, or be tombstoned. their game. i am not playing it.

[Faux pas]

46. Not a troll, just not in with the 'in crowd'.

;)

[Hidden Stillness]

48. Clearly Not One of "The Club"

Every year, this "Valentine Heart" thing comes around, and the "in-crowd" shoves our faces in the shit for totally incoherent reasons. I do not post messages or even go online for weeks at a time--is that it? Is it that I do not go to DU Meet-ups or post back and forth conversationally like they do on the DU Lounge? When I post, I tend to get generally good reactions, and many telling me what a great post it was, etc., so I do not know what it is based on. I do not have enough money to donate, do not hang on every day, and have many differences of opinion with the crowd; I do not just agree with everything here. I generally think things are going fine, then every year those of us who are not "the favorites," the ones the Administrators/Moderators never reply to, etc., get the "special message" yet again, that we are not part of the club. How fun this time of year must be for you people.

[seabeyond]

49. no it is that you didn't post anything, so no one found you to GIVE you

a heart. and if i had a heart to give, or ten hearts to give, right now, .... you would be the one i would give all to. unfortunately, i gave all my hearts away in the middle of the week. wish i had run into you or one of your posts....

[Hidden Stillness]

50. That Makes Me Feel Better

Thank you for that reply. That makes me feel better anyway.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

53. I guess some of us are less popular than you Steve. To

bring up the point that there are some people with few hearts and those people might be Freepers is insensitive.
