Reply #129: How right you are, SoCalDem

I have found myself spending much less time on DU because the quality of threads has diminished demonstrably. Latest is my homepage and many times, I cringe at the headlines that greet me. Although I must admit, the headlines from the Lounge are my pet peeve. But then, I've always wanted to drag people out of the lounge and take them into the streets -- or at least blasting angry emails.

The very thoughtful threads which used to dominate DU are becoming harder to find. Since I've always considered DU a guilty luxury -- as its time taken away from activism -- when I have to search for interesting insight & analysis, it's harder to justify the indulgence.

I like these rules for GD and would like to see them extended. And, personally, I'd like to see some improved guidelines for headlines from the Lounge. :shrug:
