Related: About this forumI want to cancel and delete my account
Im fed up with what passes for discussion and as a progressive no longer feel welcome. Id rather just delete everything and go to Twitter.

(105,911 posts)My suggestion (and one I follow) is to log out and go elsewhere for a while. Take a long break. I've often found the posters, topics, "cllimate" that pissed me off were no longer evident a few months later.
That said, there isn't really a way to delete your account. You can change your password and close down the email you used to register. Doing so effectively means your account is gone to you.

(6,916 posts)if you need pointers on how to take action against Kavanaugh,
ask your local Indivisible, look at MoveOn's page against Kavanaugh, or ask me via DU mail.
here's an idea: call Manchin's office and read this letter.
Might take several calls.

Good luck! I think we can win and even if we don't, fighting is VERY important.

(115,797 posts)had a couple posts hidden? That can happen. Take a break and check in later. It helps, really. Or use smaller forums, avoiding GD.

(14,887 posts)off most of the 2016 campaign because of the Bernie/Hillary wars. I figured they were primarily russian composed. Refused to read them or take part, so I took a time out.

(4,105 posts)Because someone who disagrees with you flags it. And you cannot even post about it... as that will break the rules as well.

(7,725 posts)Imagine the jokes...heh heh. Progressives are good, but, sometimes we have to right the ship before we start getting politically esoteric (imho) Having said that, I enjoy esoterica, and I like progressive ideas. I think Bernie is past his expiry date though, and the man alone makes me turn away sometimes. He came a long way on D shirt tails and then he got foul about the party. Thats a big no no in my book. Thats just me though. Que sara sara.

(94,281 posts)When you come to the place where you can change your password, enter a string of nonsense that you can never hope to remember and don't write it down.
Then close the door and walk away.
Just a personal note: sometimes this place gets on my last nerve and I just take a vacay.

(29,346 posts)Her mother died recently so she's been busy. The owner hasn't been around since treason weekend except to post in a Manziel thread. Haven't seen a showercap post since that day either. I knew most of whose left there for years so only place to see them. Really surprised to see Kana Aina get the ban hammer at DU of all people.
canetoad
(18,060 posts)It's funny, but when you see people post elsewhere, a little light goes on, 'Yeah - thought I hadn't seen that name at DU for a while.'
It's not a really good look, having 95% of posts per page written by one guy.

(29,346 posts)Down from about 10 or 12 but it's not my forum. It's either go there or deal with Russian trolls at jpr.
I hate Twitter and Facebook.
democratisphere
(17,235 posts)Leaving accomplishes nothing and takes away your progressive voice. Those of US that may not agree with still want to hear your sane position on the issues.

(4,105 posts)Have been on this board - Member since: Fri Aug 15, 2003.. almost 16 years...a PAID member when I could afford it.
In the last couple months I have had 3 of my posts deleted. First time ever... I felt it was completely unfair.
But it is against DU rules to discuss their moderation policy.

(26,532 posts)and I've learned to ignore certain people (although I never officially put anyone on Ignore) and restrict some of my comments. It's the only way to survive this place.

I just dont come here to argue with idiots and trolls. Not once I figure out thats whats up anyway.
I dont know how you do it without using the ignore feature. Youre a better person than I.

(22,809 posts)The fun is just getting started!
On the other hand, if you want to go, what's with the drama? It's like TV: change the channel.
However, it'll be more informative if you stay.

(16,505 posts)I've honestly never gotten my feelings hurt here that I can remember. They're opinions, just opinions. Plus, every now and then I deserve a kick in the ass, it helps me re-think my position.
Take a break and come back. You are important.
