Welcome > Hi, I'm New
New lately to the board but old to the genre
Method of Madness:
So l5ls is just "liberals"?
jwhouk:
Ah. A Conservative. Nice to have some fair-and-balanced on these boards, to get away from the echo effect and all.
And I finally figured out that it was "Liberals" that you were self-censoring. Nice.
By the way, I'm from Wisconsin. Got family in Ripon. Grandma had her second wedding reception at the Republican House way back in the 1970's.
pwhodges:
So "l5ls" is "liberals", just as "i18n" has for a long time been "internationalisation" (in computing contexts, at least); though the purpose here seems to be obfuscation rather than abbreviation.
However, that still leaves me completely blank as to the meaning of having a line at the end of your post containing "DC, l5ls". I think of the purpose of language being communication; but this communicates nothing whatsoever to me, and so seems pointless.
(Urban Dictionary suggests to me that DC here means "Don't Care", which implies that you are rejecting any discussion before it happens - I hope that's not the intended impression.)

Eh?
I am simply trying to understand what I presume is meant to be a form of communication which you feel is worth putting at the end of every post. At least I can now see that the "DC" is simply signing your post (as indeed I used to put "Paul" at the end of mine).
Method of Madness:
Nobody called me in. I was simply curious, like others, what l5l meant. I did some digging that brought me here and now I know. I was only trying to confirm. You are not making a good start here.
