White 77yo woman here. Have the voices in this forum been silenced?? Have seen few recent posts

I have learned a lot from posts in this forum. I was aware many had left or been pushed out, but wanted to know what's going on??

3. White 65 y/o male here, lifelong Dem. I honestly feel us older folk are no longer welcome.

I feel that we our concept of equality for all with a welcome attitude for those that may have a different view on certain issues (such as abortion for one) are no longer welcome.

4. I have a thought this morning...I have pulled back on my comments

I am woman..70 yrs young...as you know we have been through much in those years..from war, to the many fights for equality for ALL people...yet here we are - who would have thought we would be fighting for the very existence of these United States and the IDEA of Democracy ...

When the subject changes from evil to good I will be glad to participate more fully..

Right now I have the OBLIGATION to keep my sons and daughter free and safe so they may enjoy a future of prosperity that we have enjoyed most of our lives....my conversation with my retired Navy Chief (21 years in the service of this country) who now is ready to leave behind his country he so loves...he is a most gracious, caring, loving, and funny man...my only weapon - remain positive in the face of so much hate...

I did not bring them up to hate - but to understand ALL people are different in so many ways, and we need to recognize that for every bad in the world, we are the peacekeepers...for everyone we meet...

My children have been given full reign of their decisions and will always encourage them to do the most good for the most people..but always put your own oxygen mask on first...that is the only way to be sure you are able to help others....

I will continue to read most posts here..but have few words to offer for now..

Peace to you and to all good will....

11. Well, I'm a 71 year old guy

I have posted here, rarely, when I feel I have a news story or article of particular interest to this forum.
Otherwise I usually post to General Discussion.

Someone mentioned 'ageism'. Maybe just not being aware, but I have not seen that as much as I have seen
"Thou shall not voice an opinion different from the majority"
or you will be alerted on, and often lose.

If the majority likes red apples, you are risking an alert to say
"I think those yellow Golden Delicious apples have some merit".

A couple times I have voiced (politely and friendly) my thoughts on an issue
and been told I would be happier going to a non-DU website.

Oh well, I have an 'ignore' button.

^ pretty sure he is a white guy...

It's tough for me to answer this question.

I'm going to try and do so in a way that is respectful to DU as a hole and is not a TOS Violation.


There was for a few years concentrated attacks on some. Some voices were silenced. And those of us in solidarity with them are now 'with them' but in other forums/online formats. Example - bravenak and 1strong on twitter.

Hey, one of them gets it.

Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

Why does "concentrated attacks" sound so much like the "assaults" were of truth and reality?

And what's the honky old biddies and curmudgeons invading the AfAm forum? And not being told to STFU?

Had Mrs. Corpio kept his vow to discover who wrote that hate letter to braveneck there would be at least one more active member in that forum.
