I don't understand your pain, Skinner. The name of this post is: Democratic Underground. Within the Democratic Party is a wide diversity of opinion. If you turn this site into a "Bow Down and Worship the President" site no matter what, I will never visit it again. If no criticism is allowed for the President, or any other elected Democratic official, then you will have turned this into a version of Faux News. Maybe I miss a lot of posts, I do not read all of them, as I don't have time to just read posts all day, from anywhere, and I visit a number of news and blog sites. So perhaps unpleasant "conversations" are going on that I do not know about. But one of the reasons I log on here, every day if I can, even if briefly, is to catch "the latest" from your readers and posters who do keep up with breaking news - often posted faster than the major news sites. So I appreciate those who keep this site lively. I will donate again, hoping you do not make drastic changes to the policy and broad purpose of supporting the progressiveness of the Democratic Party.

By the way, I do not post very often, have not ever been censored, and probably refrain from posting anything very controversial or critical. Which does not mean that I do not have strong convictions; and I do quite a bit of "recommending". I very rarely, hardly ever, "unrecommend" even if I disagree with a post.

So, that is a vague description of where I am coming from. If you, Skinner, have a specific axe to grind, perhaps you had better state that in clearer terms, so that us "infrequent posters" know where we stand.
