Reply #286: That was an incredible post Skinner. An interesting peek behind the scenes.

While I consider myself a solid progressive socialist. Strongly on the side of the left, I feel that limiting those of the left, the center and of the conservative side of the on going political debate that is DU, would be very detrimental to the overall conversation.

There are many that choose speak out of their butts from time to time, (myself included lol) but when the argument it reasonable and well supported, all points of view should be welcomed.

You have a very hard job and from what you wrote, it sounds like you look upon the past with a sad whimsy.

Trying to disassociate yourself with the day to day operations of this site and also trying to keep in mind the larger picture is a herculean task.

I have supported the various changes that you have made in the past (because it appears to me, that any change you do make isn't taken lightly), I know that any future change will also be dealt with the same consideration.

Change is always good. Sometimes a good shake up now and then is a good thing.

Cheers to y'all. You do a heck of a job and I am very thankful for it. :)

And yes, I will be donating.

Oh, only one criticism, my DU bumper sticker is pealing in the Texas sun! LOL
