Reply #158: I don't want DU to be the echo chamber that the righties

[merh]

claim it to be.

I've learned more about politics and about people by posting at a mixed board. In so doing, I've learned that my stereotypes are wrong and I hope to have shown to the righties on the board that their stereotypes are wrong.

But that is my choice to post in the mixed atmosphere.

Here at DU one just has to learn to avoid the threads that upset them. After Katrina I was attacked by many at DU, you know we lazy Katrina sorts who want hand outs ....

DU, like life, is what you make of it. It isn't supposed to be easy, you just don't pull a Palin and walk out when it the shine wears off.

I think the OP is wrong. He should just take a break, we all need to do that - but to give up is just cowardly, imho.
