I decided to ask DU3 for moral support

[Leopolds Ghost]

On an activist-related issue where I was http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023819691">defending my honesty and integrity to a friend.

I mentioned that it involved personal anecdotes about how gov't abuses of authority and harassment of dissent had directly affected my family in emotionally harmful ways which I didn't care to discuss on the forum.

I asked if there were any current or former activists on DU with (or without) similar experiences
who could provide moral support and perhaps indirectly prove to my friend that I am not a liar.

Zero positive response, two hostile replies. I know I posted it in the middle of the night but still...

mine countenance whereupon



Apparently the day has arrived when DU will serve as a forum for telling my friend I am a liar when I try to relate my own experiences abuses of our political system that we have all witnessed that have been central to discussion on DU for the past ten years. I might as well have posted on a conservative free-for-all site.
