Reply #1046: I am a proud member of other sites and do not know of any that have used

Frenchie or anyone else as "bait". People join websites for many reasons but it is delusional to think entire websites are formed around one individual , or even several. There are many diverse POV on DU , but some are not tolerant of any but their own. That is one reason I do not participate as much on this board. And those that have repeatedly told me I am not welcome and my vote is not needed are the reason why.

I am disgusted by the vulgarity ,and outright ignorance teamed with arrogance I have seen expressed by some. If one can't express an opinion without reducing himselfto vulgarity and constant use of obsenity that it is likely that opinion has little merit. Many do not even know the rules of the Democratic party and throw their ignorance around like a badge. It really doesn't do to defend the Admin with ignorance.

I too am devoting my time to get my favorite local democrats elected, but then, I always have. Unlike some, this isn't "new" to me.
