Some not so random thoughts ...
I must say, I've been surprised and disappointed in the direction/tone struck by DU, as of late.
Not too long ago, I posted a threat pointing out the overt racism that has been posted to DU. The post was well received, as it opened many a DUer's eyes to what PoC have been seeing for quite a while. Further, the offensive posts were roundly condemned. And, MIRT was working over-time. It was like a big breath of hopeful air ... DU was finally getting it!
What the hell happened?
Suddenly, DU is a place where "(people) do not have the right NOT to be offended (by the speech of others)" and "it is the responsibility of those offended to learn to live with (offensive speech)" because FREE SPEECH! ... FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION! ... the 1st AMENDMENT! ... The "right" of free speech has been completely de-coupled from any responsibility to self-censor.
Mark my words, soon some poster will come to DU (probably, this very group, if not ALL of the groups) and post the most vile racist (anti-Semitic/anti-Christian/anti-{insert Group Name Here}) "speech" ... and cut and paste the very words of DU's finest and/or post links to the threads pronouncing that freedom of speech/expression trumps all.
And, MIRT will be moot.
ETA: And, oh yeah (I saw this after I had posted my not so random thoughts ... http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6090873

1. I was just reading a back and forth you were in that people who get offended need to figure out how to not let insults offend them rather than others learning how to not use offensive language. DU is a big tent and unfortunately there are those here who will "FREE SPEECH! ... FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION! ... the 1st AMENDMENT! ." out of belief, or not wanting to have any rules, or because they like the ability to be rude and nasty, or whatever the hell else. And they are outspoken.
I appreciate those DUers who are thoughtful people and find those ones are not as outspoken but very much appreciated.
Head banging inducing indeed. Next week there will be another bright shiny object to capture their attention. big sigh

2. I am finding this Big Tent ...as, more and more populated by folks more concerned with abstract principles, than the real life hurt those principles cause when expressed ... I do not find that particularly liberal, progressive, or moored to everyday life.
Aw... not everybody on the leftist side gives a shit about the oppressions of the black man?
That's all there is... for now...

You've got people over there who will take it in the ass to prove they're not racist but it's never enough. If misery loves company then all that misery is giving them mass anal orgasms.

The First Amendment is such a hindrance to liberals. They have so much totalitarian enlightenment to give us to force down our throats.
The poor darlings. I can see the tears in Stalin's eyes.

You will be labeled "RACIST" with your first post. But it is OK for 1StrongBlackMan to have that screen name, because that's "NOT RACIST".
You know DU doubled standards and all that other BS applies.

If you are going to do that you might as well go almost full DUmmie with it (no one...NO ONE, goes full DUmmie) and create a mole with the most moral authority on any subject. A homeless, transgendered, gay, homeless, veteran (a DUmmie version of one), of mixed Asian, Arab, African, Hispanic and Native American heritage.

Bullshit. When it comes to freedom of speech, liberals talk a good game, but they will still censor those that do not toe the line. DU only allows white christian or Jewish males to be insulted and denigrated.
