I am done with DU. For how long, I am not sure.
There was a post in GD about voter supression here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5316046&mesg_id=5316046

I posted my reply here, noter the pic (Armstrong William, paid propagandist for the RW):

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5316046&mesg_id=5316411

I was calimed to be a racist here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5316046&mesg_id=5316462

And rebouted the rascism in a now deleted post here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5316046&mesg_id=5316621

My rebutal got deleted but his initial claim of my "racism" continues to exist after alerting to it.

What is wrong with this picture?

4. Give the mods a little time.
There are great debates that happen in GD and GD-P, but sometimes there is ugliness...

:hi:

6. Maybe I am overreacting, I get very passionate sometimes.
I will monitor it and see if anything changes. I just kinda liken it to the book burning in FH-451 or 1984, it removes "facts" from the view of the people.

7. You're going to let some random asshole run you off?
Edited on Wed Nov-09-05 09:57 PM by Hardhead
It's a discussion board, with all that that entails. DU means too much to me to just let things go. Argue and, where necessary, alert. The system works most of the time, though ostensibly there is room for improvement. Many arguments here boil down to wilfull misinterpretation because, frankly, people without voice and visual cues are much more likely to get crossways with eachother.

This may get locked. Discussions aren't supposed to spawn new threads.

8. take 2 days off and come back
I think everyone sometimes wonders when they get a delete.

Just come back, okay?

Take some time off, listen to some good tunes - don't decide tonight, ok?
