Can we have a "SNOWDEN FORUM"?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Bonobo (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I'm sick of logging on here everyday and seeing pages full of this baffoon's every move. I don't care about him at all. There's more important things going on in the world than where he is. I could careless. I don't know why the left is so preoccupied with this drama queen. DU needs to make a forum dedicated to folks obsessed with him, one way or the other. The rest of us can get back to politics that actually effects everyday life.

are following these events, you can put them on ignore so any threads they start won't show up on your screen. It should improve things for you. A separate forum for a news event that will have a conclusion isn't wise.

He may go some other place and spout off for years to come. At least with Zimmerman, there will be an end one way or the other. Thanks for the tips though!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
