You're attempting to read people's minds, Bloo, and that's a fools quest at the best of times. I can only speak for myself when I say that I had no intention of referring to Nazism when I posted my thread. If I had wanted to call people Nazis, I would have called them Nazis. It wasn't exactly a subtle OP.

But that's the problem with the self-appointed STFU police, they tend to work in absolute terms. Because I didn't explicitly state the differences between valid criticism, insults, spam and snark, it was assumed that I must mean that all criticism should be silenced. That wasn't the case, as I stated further along in the thread. Of course, by then I had received dozens of personal insults, which I gave back in return. That happens when you post drunk.

DU is supposed to be a political forum for Democrats of all stripes. That's a big tent and there's plenty of room for honest discussion and debate over philosophy and actions. But :eyes: isn't a rebuttal and "Who ordered pizza" isn't political discourse.
