1. Oh, baby!

[UTUSN]

2. why?

[hrmjustin]

3. Burn the heretics!

[72DejaVu]

7. That's shocking!

How can anyone who disagrees with you call themselves a progressive!

[hrmjustin]

8. What do you think should happen?

[hrmjustin]

13. Who would you get rid off here?what groups?

[hrmjustin]

19. Well this is a Democratic Party leaning site so we have all the groups that fall in that category.

We have progressives and moderates.

[truebrit71]

22. We also have alot of right-leaning, "centrist" Dems...

... who love to bully those that are more liberal than they are... hence this OP.

[hrmjustin]

25. We have always had a lot of bullies on this site.

[truebrit71]

27. Yup. Some go off-site to plan their attacks on certain DUers.

...shocking, I know...

[hrmjustin]

32. Some leave DU because they are made to feel less welcome.

[hrmjustin]

28. That you have to take up with the owners.

They make up the front page. But this isn't truth out, this is DU.

[uppityperson]

29. You are very observant, for the length of time you've been on DU.

[hrmjustin]

38. One can say the same about your post.

[uppityperson]

42. Observing, on a thread calling for remaking of DU, how observant you are makes you feel paranoid?

Yes, that is weird to me.

[uppityperson]

49. Why do you try to censor me? That isn't very democratic!!!!

It's a form of censorship really.

[72DejaVu]

24. You don't want to get rid of anybody?

What about " all the centrists, gun nuts and right wingers that inhabit this place"?

[uppityperson]

33. What do you think about people who repeatedly sign up, repeatedly get banned, usually quickly

Do they change anyone's mind?

[uppityperson]

46. Which in no way answers my question. Try again, if you would. Thank you.

[truebrit71]

31. Those people aren't democrats....

... at least they weren't until this election cycle it seems...

[jeff47]

4. Go ahead. It's a big Internet, make your own space. (nt)

[MADem]

5. Check the groups.

9. I've been a member 12 yrs, only hid once until this June I've been hid, banned and blocked, don't

worry you have lots of Progressives here .

[RKP5637]

10. The democratic party is a big tent. I think DU represents a lot of

that tent. So, IMO, it's best to work within the tent to effect change. Otherwise, it might be more satisfying in a more comfortable area, but likely that will not have much sway on the DU party at large. I can understand your frustration.

11. Jury results: 3-4 to LEAVE IT

Can't believe 3 voted to hide it:

21. Come on, you should know by now that DU has rules you have to follow. Why don't you start one?

Did you know this link is at the bottom of every single page on DU?

[bananas]

23. I just searched for your posts and recommended a few of them. nt

[sufrommich]

15. I would have voted to hide it,it's clearly Meta.

What else would you call it?

[bananas]

39. That's not what the alert was about.

If it was a SOP alert, it would have gone to the hosts, not the jury.
The alert was for "disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate" and 4 of us disagreed.
There are a hell of a lot ruder, hurtful, insensitive, over-the-top, and inappropriate posts on here. This ine was rather mild.

[Electric Monk]

41. Meta threads are up to hosts to lock, not for juries to hide. nt

[avebury]

44. I would love to find a truly progressive website. nt

[upaloopa]

17. Ok make a list of all the progressive talking points

and ideas then give us all a purity test and those that pass can join your what the hell ever underground.
And if anyone posts something you don't like you can alert stalk them right off the board.

[NuclearDem]

18. Oh Jesus, not this again.

[JI7]

34. why don't you start up something yourself ?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

36. Here's the problem with that...

If they did it, something like 75-90% of the people using DU would leave and head over to that site.

That would leave DU kind of a wasteland.

[LuvLoogie]

40. Insular Underground... Hmmm...

Why not? Looks like it's working for the GOP.

[GGJohn]

45. You're free to do so,

have fun.

[Tarheel_Dem]

50. Someone disagreed with you on the internet? When has that ever happened?

Besides you could start your own thing, why wait for the Admins to create a place where no one will ever disagree with you?
