How much of the turmoil around groups, hosts and DU etiquette is caused by disruptors?
I was never a DU2 mod nor do I have any special insights into what our Admins must tolerate to keep DU thriving, but our new "self-regulated" DU seems to have a lot more problems getting along than DU2.
I wonder how much of that is not honest and earnest concern over DU but attempts to undermine our effectiveness. I'm sure there are members who are alerting out of genuine concern, but it feels like the infiltrators are trying to muck up the works. I have no data to support this.

Learn the difference between troll and mole - frank has patiently explained this to you several times.

18. There is a certain ragefulness...
...that the right-winger style projects that is pretty easy to pick-up. Liberals don't generally personally excoriate their peers in blistering terms of personal outrage. The right-wing trolls here are also generally male, and so when you combine those two things it becomes pretty obvious who's not on our side.

Sooooooooooooo little self-awareness. Liberalism's strongest defining feature is the refusal to have a calm consideration of facts, but rather to attack the integrity/ethics/moral/appearance &c. of any person having the slightest disagreement with liberalism.

11. I have no facts
No link, and no way of knowing but I'd guess the site does get disrupted by conservative freaks who especially dislike feminism. Even the word sets them off, let alone a whole group.
Someone got shown the door. Someone who was right in the cohost line up, probably in the off site meetings, and pm'ing everyone in the leadership.
Well you're right about one thing - you genuinely do have no facts.
I think what you're actually experiencing is that your brand of feminism is so utterly extreme that even the crypto-(and not so crypto-)Marxists of the DUmp find it out of line.
