Reply #329: The whole point is that our speech is NOT restricted TO DU...

[rasputin1952]

This is a message board that many people come to, and some of them for nefarious purposes.

The trolls and the RW love watching the dog fights that goon in here, just as we love watching those idiots trying to defend the defenseless. What has been going on at DU is the mind-set that no on can more an inch, no compromise, do or die.

You can see it in this thread and all over DU...many are not willing to move even the slightest degree. Condemnation for all that, "does not agree w/me", is group-think, and we have a lot of that here. The only reason this is an issue at all, is because someone got offended, and decided they would try to make sure everyone felt offended at the same time and at the same level.

I am not offended, what Randi said, she said, whether one agrees w/it or not.

But I can assure you, those that roll out of this thread and on to others, will take their indignation, (or lack thereof), w/them, making sure that they attack the opposite candidate with far more aggression than Randi showed. And they will do it to the delight of the RW that trolls around our halls, just looking for something to beat us with.

Earlier, someone mentioned Randi shooting herself in the foot...look at us, we're not only wounding ourselves, but dashing up the scaffold, putting our heads in nooses, and yelling at the executioner to hurry up.

It's pretty sad.
