This post reminds me of what made DU great.

In the good old days with the mods and before juries we would get into fights and the mods would delete posts and lock threads. It made DU fun. With the jury system "community standards" and fun have diminished.
I know the jury system is well intentioned, but we should realize that DU is not an academic institution. It's a way for us to learn, teach, interact, kill time, and have fun. And the occasional silly flamewar is certainly that.
DU used to be the best moderated forum on the Internet. I wish we could to back to what made us great.
You were never great. Just a laughing stock.

They so long for authoritarianism.
-
They don't know right from wrong.
They have to be told it with a threat of discipline constantly hanging over their heads.

Which do you prefer?
A forum run by three nuts, or a forum run by a hundred nuts?
-
I don't know. When you have that chance of being flamed because of something you said you might choose your words more carefully instead of just a mod deleting or locking posts. It's kinda like you let your kid touch the burner once because they learn not to do it again :-)

I get the same entertainment value out of either.

Heh! My fave was watchin' the little crumb crunchers tryin' to put a penny into the electric wall socket! Good times, good times!

Yep, still runnin' at about 20% intellect I see. I'll leave it to you to figure which one is correct.

I have never seen a forum like DU. Even long term members can be given time outs for deviating from the "normal" deviation that is DU.
And what the hell is up with being given "time outs"? It's treating them like little kids and they should feel insulted if they had half a normal intellect.

I got a feeling the DUmmies would have kept on burning their hands.

Not just their hands. Remember, DU is the home of stevenumbers.

Typical. The left asks for more control over their lives and then bitch when they get it.

And they expect the rest of us to fall in line with their whining.

....and a shocking example of visceral hatred, ridiculously ingrained group-think and wildly over-blown sense of self worth.
No, (D)Ullards....you haven't changed.

No. It is quite unique, in a ........ fell into a cesspool on a 100 degree day, 5 miles away from clean water, kinda way.
