Showing Original Post only (View all)Skinner: We've got a whole new system lined up and ready to go... [View all]
I am looking forward to the changes.
Skinner (61,800 posts)
We've got a whole new system lined up and ready to go...
...along with very clear rules that apply to everyone. And we are going to insist that everyone follow our rules.
I could stop this crap right now if we went live with the new system right now. But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to wait until the primaries are over. Why am I going to do that? Because I'm not an idiot.
If I unveil a new, strict system of rules and enforcement RIGHT NOW, what is going to happen? All the partisan jerks are going to lose their shit, and they're going to claim that the whole thing is a politically motivated ploy by the biased DU Administrators in order to crack down on their favored candidate. And you know what? Everyone else is going to believe it because they are primed to believe every stupid self-serving thing that fits the narrative that their side is being oppressed by me.
Surely people wouldn't believe that, would they?
Of course they would! Read some of the stuff that people have been saying about me for the last year and a half. People have lost their freaking minds, and their humanity.

Skinner wants the White House to stay blue, and get more blue in the House and Senate. Nt

We'll see. I am not happy Skinner thinks that people are either partisan jerks or stupid:

I'd say he's taken more than his share of insults here on a daily, hell, hourly basis.

I hope he can get the jerks out. A lot of them are new members and a lot of them are Clinton pushers

A lot of them will mothball those usernames back into hibernation after the primary season. nt

There are far more Bernie supporters trashing DU for being in the tank for Hillary than vice versa.

And you think the Bernie wing hasn't insulted, demeaned and belittled the Hillary wing here?

The suspension of the entire vacation system smacked of partisanship, and left a bad taste in a lot

They could at least be a little more creative and sophisticated at framing arguments.

Hopefully that includes getting rid of the repeat offenders that have proven they cannot play nice.
