Don't give up on DU

[mongo]

I may not make very many posts, but I do read a lot of DU during the day. In light of all the locked threads, DS leaving, etc., and the comments that DU is good for nothing but fighting among ourselves, let me make the following observations.

DU is a valuable resource for me. It is my primary news source. It also provides me with excellent ideas/arguments for LTTEs, and flyers which I occasionally create and distribute at my store and anywhere else I can find.

The Ohio forum has put me in touch with other local dems and progressives, let me know of upcoming events, and gave me a vehicle to participate in the election process.

DU has clued me in to several other progressive websites and email action lists which I now participate in.

I was never politically active before, and I know that DU has been my primary inspiration to get involved.

Yeah, there is fighting here sometimes. I am personally guilty of getting emotional and making posts sometimes that are not helpful to a debate. But, we are all human, and when you wade through it all there is so much good that it is more than worth my time.

Just my .02
