Either leave Discussionist alone or get rid of Discussionist. But don't tell any of us.

Make it Schrodinger's Discussionist.

We can debate whether or not it is still an active website without any independent confirmation of its fate.

If not it goes away.

Does anyone think the owners are doing it for a hobby?

Hope I can ask that

I should say former and/or current DUers - disgruntled, pissed off, banned, whatever. Looking to settle scores or stir up shit

Rightwing ideology is essentially dead among the populace. It's a joke to assume many people are roaming the discussion forums looking for a place to bond with other trickle-downers



Democrats have been fighting that corporate thirdway ideology from within their own ranks since the Clintons. Maybe that's some of what's happening at Discussionist?

Well, they may be right-wingers but if they were they were right-wingers on DU too. The Freepers don't give a shit about HOF. They don't think much of feminism, but they don't have any personal gripe against individuals on DU.

But from it, I guessed who you are, and your DU journal confirms it.

How's life, Kyle?

Seems to me to be a place for RWNJs to vent their hate venom and vitriol, Is that what was intended?
Seems illogical to me for the bell weather of leftwing forums(DU) to open up a new forum where RWNJs run rampant.
As an occasional participant of both forums I'm missing a big piece of the puzzle, any one want to fill me in on whats really going on. A private message would be kept confidential if open forum might turn into a pissing match..
