This hair-dryer was plugged in May 25; the bells-and-whistles-and-sparkling-lights-and-toys-and-gimmicks of the format at Big Jerry's salon makes it difficult to copy-and-paste from there.
Which means of course that Big Jerry's salon gets less traffic than it could.
Anyway.

Interesting DU Thread. So Why Is Everyone Leaving The DU?

The answers are more telling than the OP and the fact that they had SO MANY new 1 post wonders after the Hillary statement concerning RFK makes me really really curious about the site at all.

That place has turned into a haven for foul-mouthed intolerant, abusive pricks. I was banned for mildly criticizing a couple of the more rabid Obama supporters for their blind worship of him and their insane hatred of Sen. Clinton. I'm not a big Hillary fan but those people have mostly gone shithouse-rat nuts. (I was a member for 5 years and a regular if not huge contributor...sheesh)

Ya know I'm not a Hillary fan but some of the Obama supporters are turning me off.

I do wonder how one mildly criticizes rabid-blind-insane people.

Welcome, Karl! Good to see you here and hope to see more of you.
I can relate and have been astonished at the shit-slinging fiesta DU seems to have become.

What's amazing, Karl, is that even though I think Obama is the best choice here, and that Hillary is utterly unelectable (though with McSame as the opposition, she would come close; Anybody would,) I can't defend some of the Hillary hating vitriol I have read.
I don't like the stuff she's been doing at all though. I think I see a lot of classless Obama-hating on HER part, and I can't defend that, either.
I got banned from that place because some mods who didn't care for me made out that I was a homophobe! OMG! I'm quite sure I have marched carrying banners in more Gay Pride parades than all of those assholes combined!
Ben Burch
Oh dear.
I haven't looked at DU in about three months now.
I went over there to see how they were doing their ad insertions these days as I really need to start doing that on White Rose (its not making its $1000 a month costs these days) and I looked at some of the Hillary & Obama topics.
Just wow.
Even had I not been banned from the place, I'm sure I'd have ASKED to have my account removed by now.
Even Conservative Underground is less of a sewer.
Sunshine
Totally agree with you!
I, too, was just hit over the head by that brigade today and the hypocrisy there seems to know no boundary's anymore. DU changes the rules but they don't notify anybody and the coddling of a certain group is going getting beyond ridiculous, imho. Why I've been hanging out there is a mystery to me. I must be a glutton for punishment. I have to delete them before I lose my mind.
The primitive woman bothered by cold weather makes a cameo appearance:

THAT was their 'reasoning'??!!!?!??!!! WTF??! Sorta like regarding Santa Clause as
"anti-reindeer". WTF??!!
Now they've banned KS. Jeezuz.
Again: WTF?!!
Ben Burch
IM everybody you know there and ask them to move over here.
Of course, since it appears as though Skinner READS people's IMs this might get you banned, too.
Crazy Guggenheim (asking the primitive woman bothered by cold weather, above)
Who's KS?
GymGeekAus
Those reindeer are forced to work in some pretty deplorable conditions.
Shame on Santa!
Ben Burch (replying to question by the crazy goggles guy, above)
Karl!
Pay attention, dude!
troubleinwinter
I am perpetually shocked and amazed that I haven't been banned. I expect the day will come (I've expected it for a coupla years). I don't play very nicely with certain people, including some blindly beloved, admired (bullshitter) 'celebrity' members.
What the fudge does the primitive woman bothered by cold weather mean?
She's buddy-buddy with the little clique that counts; Doug's ex-wife and the malicious cartoon character primitive.

Somebody must have issued suppositories to the Hillary supporters over there because there sure is a lot of shit being spewed over there.

I had the same thing happen because I didn't are to see Brokeback Mountain. I just don't like romantic movies. *shrug* I also challenged their b.s. that the movie didn't win because the people who voted were homophobic. I said how maybe they just didn't like the movie. I got attacked like the shit.
