In reply to the discussion: 14 years on DU and this last week is the first time I have no clue what is going on. [View all]elfin
(6,262 posts)27. Same here
I have been here since very early 2002 and rarely OP, but sometimes comment.
Got kicked out of a primary group after what I thought was a fairly calmly stated opinion that didn't agree with the poster. Harsh. But I lived.
Now things have gone way beyond "harsh" in a year where we need to be and should be united as Dems, tho we may have heartfelt primary preferences.
Still check in a few times a day, but not the same, much more substantive site that I remember all those years ago, when it was my oasis on the net.

You do realize a good many of us have OPs we don't follow for one reason or another.

My proudest moment was serving as a moderator in that time and having someone accuse me

I share your confusion. When I was really active on DU there were a few nutty situations.
