When GD-P closes down, will there be another forum for
those who wish to whine and complain and randomly insult each other? Or will they be integrated back into the rest of DU and/or made to go away? Maybe need to start a new group: random insultors anonymous? Bet you could easily get the 10 needed to start such a group, but agreeing on a mission statement might be more difficult.

2. It'll become GD: Politics, or GD: General Election.
And anyone who doesn't intend to support the Democratic nominee will have to piss off somewhere else (because if they don't, they'll be banned).

4. It will probably switch back to GD Politics
And all campaign related topics will be in here, while general political issues will be in GD. And there will be as many, if not more, attacks on Obama as there have been the last year. Lots of "concern" and "advise" and "free speech". It isn't going to get much better, believe me.

8. I'm hoping not so much nasty attacks.
reading what people have posted, wild. Not to call out low posting newerish members, but noticing a lot of them around. As well as some older and higher post count people. Criticism is fine but nasty shit isn't. You know? Even if we disagree on some things, nastiness is not called for.

9. I've been on forums where there were both Election Fight Clubs
where everything goes, and even Election Thunderdomes where 2 people could battle it out without anyone else commenting.

Both failed as sub-forums. Too nasty. So nasty that people stopped doing it.

13. I was thinking GD-POPD
Politics of Personal Destruction.

Glad to see we've learned so much from Karl Rove. I think I'll go wash my hands.
