I have been on DU for almost nine years now.
Not as long as some, of course, but longer than I've been on any other discussion forum. I'm a very active participant and have a very good memory. I love this discussion site, but not always everyone on it.

In those nine years or so, I've seen a number of people driven off this site, which has always made me cringe. I've even been a target a few times, but have always avoided "losing it" and am still here. I'm a veteran of discussion forums, beginning with the old Politics forum on CompuServe in the 80s.

I've seen people driven off from every forum I've been part of. It's a shame every time, except in a very few cases. On each forum, vulnerable people or people with minority viewpoints are ganged up on until they can no longer stay. Typically, they are provoked into exploding and then are banned.

After over 98,000+ posts here, I'm here to stay. I'm going nowhere. I'll probably see others driven off in the future, as I have in the past. With very few exceptions, I'll be sad when it happens. I wish such things would not happen. Truly I do. I remember each instance and what caused it.

My hope is to one day find a place where that does not occur. I'd like it to be this place.

5. I've had DU friends driven away so hard that I've never seen them again, on any other

form of social media.

Heartbreaking.

This place was created as a haven echo chamber for liberals wanting to communicate with fellow liberals.

But trolls always get in, and make their targets utterly miserable.

Like you, MineralMan, I'm not going anywhere. But I sure miss my departed friends...

Yes. Thanks Rockhead. Love reading the drivel.

'Heartbreaking'??!

They probably broke the rules.  I've been kicked-off 2 forums.  One (Armageddon Online) for defending Trump against Queen Latifa, or somebody like that, when I was told not to.  And the other was Angel-something, for writers... which I think I made a bad comment about some mod's lesbian friend.  Not sure what it was.

I hope nobody's hearts were broken over my abrupt vanishings.

DU's rules about ideological orthodoxy and orthodoxy vigilantes are a straitjacket some found chafing. It's telling that MM wears that straitjacket so proudly.

Wow.

I thought for sure Minnesota Moses had been around longer than a mere nine years.

Anyway, this means he missed the best years of Skins's island, the scam that rocked the internet, as that was twelve and a half years ago now.

That truly saddens me, that he missed the boat.

That's the little known "Always a Bridesmaid" award, not to be confused with the "You Lost Again?" trophy. (signed by Steve Dawes.)

He is working too hard.  He is an idiot, but is so lightweight that he should not be considered for DOTY.  He furrows his brow and scratches his beard and types words but they are so fleeting that he might well not have bothered.

Like this one.  No actual content, just words implying content.
