I left DU nearly 3 years ago and it took me 3 days to remember why. [View all]

A lot of the same juvenile behavior, being accused of being a "hater" if you don't agree or support some Democratic political figure, having an OP where people are told to "shut the fuck up" when it's not liked what they said.

But for me the line came today when it is not only acceptable to make fun of the mentally ill and then to be told to "lighten up" when you complain about such treatment being belittling and disrespectful to them, but such behavior is condoned. What next, making fun of those skinny AIDs people or how some disabled don't walk so well? How this is anything but sad I don't understand and neither do I understand the smug attitude about it.

I've scrubbed the site of all of my recent posts. If there were a way I could simply delete my membership I'd do that as well.

But now I remember why I left, now I remember. Unless Alzheimer's creeps in (how about a good humorous thread about Alzheimer's while we're at it?) I won't forget next time.
