(35,961 posts)I've done a few terms on MIRT, so I see long-time trolls bite the dust for being RW, anti-Semitic, misogynist, Islamophobic, racist, etc. But I've never yet seen the admin nuke a long-term DUer for being a troll because they support the Democrats and Obama. The day they start doing that, I'd be wondering to myself why they'd still be calling this place Democratic Underground. There are DUers who really, really support the Obama administration, and sometimes try to defend actions that I don't see as defensible, but that doesn't make them trolls. It makes them Democrats who are really passionate about defending the Obama administration and see attacks on it as attempts to damage the Presidency. I don't agree with how they see it, but it's clear to me that it's how they see it. So it gets really irritating to see the 'paid shill!' line trotted out as an attack, especially when it's by now-nuked (multiple times) trolls who are clearly only returning to DU time and time again to stir up trouble...
