Reading and re-reading all the savage critiques of their site, here at DU. They are absolutely obsessive about what is said about them, here. Entire threads are devoted to it. It's almost enough to make you feel sorry for them, but....naaaaaaah.

but perhaps having a pool of lunatics saves us here at DU for having to deal with them. Lock 'em up there...

I resisted until this morning, and stayed in long enough to read a post headline that reported that DU was back on line. Total time on Discussionist for me was about 6 seconds.

To have rotting brain matter you'd have to have a brain to start with.

They like to talk about DU a lot, though. They were all hoping 'the greats' would show up so they could teach them a thing or two -- it was classic obsessive/abusive psychosis behavior. Dark. Ugly. I spent five minutes there and bailed.

So far, everything's still seems to be here, and the response time has improved.

Hope you and/or your tech staff are getting a much-needed rest today. Or maybe tomorrow.

Took a stroll over to the discussionist thingy and had to take a shower.
We may have our differences but those guys guard their opinions with a distasteful arrogance that I found demeaning.
