Reply #39: that is called spamming

[salin]

please find another method. I fear that you are losing more than you gain. Folks like myself - are disgusted. Remember the dean backlash where some folks got so turned off by the fans that they turned violently on the candidate... that seems to be in play here as well.

Spamming forums is not a good tactic. You don't win ANYONE over, but you do make alot of people NOT involved in the fight VERY upset.

Seriously. THis is how it is for the future. I will have to find another place. I am about issues. About learning. About getting discussions together so we see the pieces. I have seen the threads of our work picked up in interesting places (at least one article, and at least one initiative by either the DNC or the DCCC). Problem is - some days I can only post early or late. In this atmosphere the discussion would die in the day. You all would push it into the archives with this petty back and forth and each individual thought has to have its own thread, its own refutation thread, its own anti thread, and a parody thread of each of the previous threads. Get it? My work becomes obsolete. Substance lost.

If this is the future of DU - there is no place for policy analysts. There is no place for activism that is not tied to a specific candidate. You all will push people like me out.
