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]Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)71. It's the same group that keeps trying to throw its weight around.
It's the same ever since DU3 started (before that I didn't notice).
Same bunch with the flame bait outrages every time, it just changes from misogyny to privilege to Hillary-is-great. The "outfit change" doesn't really make any difference. It's always about controlling what other people say and do and think. That's what they think politics is.
Some people won't go along with that. Wonder why. The flamers try to get all those people kicked off, as much as possible. Of course it mostly isn't posssible, and so they stay outraged, mostly over nothing. It's like a hive-mind tantrum. It would be interesting if it wasn't so stupid and pointless.
It's obvious by now this won't change, I just use "Trash Thread" a lot and move on.

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.
