I miss the old du as well. I have those whom I suspect to be trolls or sycophants on ignore and that helps but every thread of substance is hijacked by some of the tactics you outline above..and it goes nowhere. I still come here and read everyday but there is a blind spot on du now which disregards truth. Discernment and critical thinking are impossible when there is willful obedience and ignorance of uncomfortable truth.
