The Development of the Language is Interesting
"Special rights" used to be a code word for white racists. Now it's being employed by anti-Christians.

There is a Very Different Vibe Here
over the last few years. It is not just the Clinton-Sanders thing. Also, the increasingly anti-Christian mood is chilling for anyone who does not share that sentiment.
Groups become less spontaneous, more dogmatic and less tolerant over time unless they are renewed in some way. DU had a wonderful beginning, but maintaining a community requires certain personal and group virtues that DU is not strong in. Things will probably improve after the election, but character is fate for groups as well as people.
