1st time I experienced a DU-sleeper-poster [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Yesterday was the first time I had communicated with a sleeper-DU-poster.

The poster had not posted since 2012 (per their profile) and had 8 posts until yesterday they added 25 posts with angry comments spread around and one thread of their own. Today I see that the comments have been removed by DU.

I feel foolish for communicating with that poster in the first place. I will be more scrupulous from now on.
It was a learning I thought I would pass on.
