Reply #29: Now someone's going to say

[TennesseeWalker]

"Yes...and look at the quality of THEIR posts"...which also kind of pisses me off...I mean, those guys aren't the most enlightened bunch in the world, but at least they're talking about current events, which is more than most people do. I actually had an Arbitron rater call here tonight, who was obviously reading from a prepared text. I told him I would respond to his poll as long as he was affiliated with John Ashcroft.

He said, "Who's John Ashcroft?"

So pardon me if I don't mind if someone here on DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND screws around and posts a thread multiple times,or uses caps, or uses less than five sentences. Sheesh! I would hate to have you guys on a Zoning Board.

Leftists have GOT to stop with the elitist, everything must be perfect attitude. People aren't perfect, and I'm willing to give everyone a shot at expressing their opinions. ESPECIALLY if they've found DU, and are open to listening to what we've got to say!

PLEASE don't keep this policy. It is bad law, and it will turn off WAY more people than it will do to ensure good posts. Well intentioned, but NO GOOD.

Just have a discussion like this from time to time when posts get bad, don't make some arbitrary rule.
