But to see the way went after bigtree and 1SBM, as if these two posters have no intellect is reminiscent of how Jackson and PBO and other AA's have been treated. Talked over and their words ignored.
The boundary thing - why the panic to convert - and it is with a form of zealotry that I cannot personally separate from Pauls, or and overbearing fundy.
Can't they see how this comes off? Do they even care about anyone else's opinion? Are they scoring points with each other?
I think they do when they trot into safe havens, just like they did the BOG and literally - took a dump on everyone. Then the HRC group, same thing. And with that latest thing going after noire, and dissing JAG who has the patience of a saint.
I was just stunned, I could not believe it. But on occasion I do see posters on my Ignore list when they really show their ass like AJ90 did with bravenak.
They can read, and most have been here a long time and know the rules of groups. But claim they don't, then run to their buds and complain when the door is politely shut in their face when asked to quit. I think they all high five each other, saying 'Showed 'em, huh?'
So it's not just insane and dumb and pointless. It is very much juvenile behavior and turns people off of politics. I bet DU would have much more participation from Democrats if a few controls were put back in place, but they won't be.
I don't refer anyone to DU and these guys would not make it 15 minutes in a precinct meet stamping their feet, calling names and yelling. Showing attitude to everyone else.
Not because Democrats are some kind of authoritarian. It's about boundaries. Respect for the time and effort and good will of others in trying to help others.
And that is what a real democracy is about - so I don't even give some DUers credit for respecting democracy either.
