Reply #989: Most of my dearest friends seem to have abandoned DU

[crim son]

for various reasons, so I have migrated from the Lounge to the discussion forums... and from there, run for my life! There is nothing wrong with disagreement, but there is something seriously wrong with the way too many people here choose to voice it. Bitter personal attacks are the norm and I get a sense that folks aren't even vaguely interested in hearing the other side of the argument. What, therefore, is the point of participating?

That said, I will always come here to read the latest news and get a feel for what DUers are thinking. I feel like an outsider, but I keep coming back for more!
