Some days I think we should have a DU Group instead...
Yeah, it would mean that some people who can't afford a donor star (or do not wish to donate) couldn't participate, but it would also cut down on trolls and prevent crap like what happened in here this morning.

Just thinking out loud...That child porn thing was really disturbing.

2. A troll came in here and spammed every thread with a link
that was supposed to be about Caroline Kennedy, but was a link to a child porn site. :puke:

3. A malicious troll
Of course, only a Freeper would know where real child porn is

7. And they only did it in here -- we think they wanted "the queers" to get in trouble

4. That's disgusting
I didn't open that post to read it so would've been unaware of any link. May I suggest that anyone you did open it erases their history.

5. Some days I think we should just shake the dust of this place from our feet.

It's not as though coming to DU is a very affirming experience anymore.

It was at one time, mind you, but not anymore.

8. There's a "Women's Rights" forum and a "Feminists" group...I don't see why there shouldn't be a
group in addition to the forum. Groups, as you note, are safe havens (and that's pretty rigidly enforced--nobody's allowed to go into the Vegan group or the Russ Feingold with a "yummy yummy veal" or "Russ voted for Ashcroft and can kiss my ass" post--even though those sentiments are allowed elsewhere), and while DU is *supposed* to be intolerant of homophobia across the board, you know how that's gone...
