DU needs to reconsider...

[lonehalf]

...not letting the RW zealots post here.

How will we ever convince them that they are very wrong.

They're not stupid, just ignorant. We need the chance to educate them.

But it would cost a lot to edit the screed that comes out of their keyboards.

We will need to donate a lot more to hire editors for this big challenge.

1. LOL

This place would turn into a big shit hole.

2. There are plenty of other forums

that allow mixed company but unfortunately it's about impossible to even try to reason with a zealot of either persuasion.

3. Re:

What RW zealots? There are no RW zealots here. Some LW zealots maybe. The RWers consider dialing up DU to be "slumming". They wouldn't post here in most cases.

6. But they do.

Maybe. But aren't they like immediately deleted anyway? In my opinion, at least, it's nothing more than a very temporary distraction.

16. Oh, no.

There have been freeps here with over 1000 posts. They're usually ferreted out pretty fast, but some rack up a good post count before coming out. A favorite tactic is to then become very divisive.

18. janx again

Yeah. You're probably right. There are probably always lurkers. I'm fairly confident that DU's pretty good at routing out the RWers here.

4. You won't convince the diehard dumbasses of anything.

The ones that come here to disrupt would suck George's pecker on live TV.

5. I humbly disagree...

They cannot be educated, and, I have better things to do than have a cerebral hemorrhage trying.

Just my opinion.

7. They do post here - big time. They just don't admit they're Republicans.

Trolls are a big, irritating part of DU :(

[janx]

8. Especially lately,

for some reason. :shrug:

[Stinky The Clown]

9. There's already too damned many of them here

waiting to start shit when their assigned shit start cue is heard.

11. What if they were "given" one forum and no more, so we would know the sour

source, of course, anyone who writes desires to be identified, hence writing in the RW Forum would be an act of integrity.

12. That 33% to 39% will always have their heads in cement..they

really don't care because they love W and I don't think anything we can do will change their minds.

[LSK]

13. they are free to read

If I want to read totally ignorant people, I will go to freeperland.

[MSgt213]

14. These people don't want to debate anyone. Attack and spin.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. For one thing, you won't change their minds

For another, they'd just run rampant, ruining any discussion and harrassing posters who appear to be minorities (like people with rainbow avitars, Muslim avitars, etc).

[Blue_Tires]

17. ??

RW zealots post here by the hundred and HAVE BEEN posting for years now....some are just craftier than others, knowing how to create just the proper amount of disruption or dissention without getting the ban

19. Locking
