WHY are the mods tolerating a "I hope Perry wins - that'll show the DINOs" thread?

Seriously. This is Democratic Underground, but this board is not a democracy, and never has been. This is Skinner's board, and he can do what he wants with it, but I was under the impression that this was Democratic Underground, not Green Underground, or I-Won't-Vote-For-Democrats-If-They're-Not-Progressive-Enough Underground, and it's certainly not "I Hope Rick Perry Wins To Teach The DINOs To Feed Their Base" Underground. If I were in charge, I'd be telling those people to get their own forums.

You want my opinion, it's time to crack down on some of the divisive shit that's quite frankly, made these forums toxic. And yes, it's poor form to accuse people of trolling, or working on the other side, but this divisiveness provides a wide opening to those posting here from Karl Rove's boiler-rooms.

But it's your forums. I can't tell you what to do, all I can do is bitch.

1. Posts like that aren't to be taken seriously.

People don't really mean it. They're just trying to be provocative. They will come to their senses when election season rolls around -- they always do.
