Since they are, at their core (in their bylaws) non-partisan.

And in their history, have been defenders of the left.

I just want to know the rules, since I am finding them to be a downright GOOD thing.

Workers of the world unite!

One big union!

Here is a list, much like George Carlin (praise be unto him) gave us in the sixties.

These are words that you will get S-canned for, some for only refrerring to

Those words are:

1 - The C-word. You can't even joke about this word, or admit it even exists.

2 - The B-word. Same thing.

3 - The W-word. You say that word, and you end up locked out of DU.

4 - The N-word. Now this one has some logic behind it - except for the fact that African Americans can't use it either.

5 - The B and J-word. Mention this and you get a thread hidden, and locked out for the day.

6 - Naming any of the "other" forums. This is kinda crazy, but I don't make the rules.

7 - The P-word. You can't use this at all, or you're a serial misogynist.

8 - The D and A-word. Use this word, and you get s-canned.

9 - The other F-word (rhymes with 'maggot.'). Even if you are gay.

10 - Like Carlin's list, prick may be used as a verb, but not a noun.

Am I missing any?

Oh, and if you want to alert on this thread, why not try proving me wrong first? That whole backbone thing, ya know?

Sing along everyone!

Enjoy!
