I have a dumb question.

[rusty quoin]

I have stayed out of the Clinton vs Obama infighting, so I missed much. I no longer see several members here, who use to post a lot. Things are slower here. Have we lost a significant number of members?

1. What's significant? I'm here.

3. Some left, some got TS'd, some are just taking a break.

There's a purge after every primary. This one was worse than the last one, but no worries...we survive :)

4. That's good to here. n/t

7. DU will continue

Trolls, malcontents and disrupters will be TSed or leave
voluntarily. It's kinda like the Primaries in that weaker
candidates were vetted early and dropped out. As the competition
got tougher, two candidates emerged-both of roughly equal
qualification. In the end one emerged victorious and a majority
of the other's supporters will consider what's best for the Nation
and the Democratic Party and support the nominee.

Those who don't will regret their decision, either on DU or in
their conscience. I'd say exactly the same if Senator Clinton
were the nominee

9. Ah, the purge. Nicely couched, however.

Look how voluntary it sounds.

8. When everyone is turning into a rhinoceros...

Some choose not to be trampled by the stampeding herd.
