I long for the good old days when this place was merely a cesspool.

Unfortunately, it's gotten much worse.

There will be fireworks, but after things settle down, DU will be a better and hopefully more unified place.

Skinner said he will announce and implement the new requirements for posting on DU after the primaries. I'm hoping that he announces the day after the California primary (and five other states) on June 7. Although there is the WDC primary on June 14.

I'm betting that the new system will calm things down (after all the fireworks by angry respondents) and unify DU at least to a reasonable degree.
