It was here. nt Atticus Jul 2021 #20

In which case its a public discussion and you can provide a link. brooklynite Jul 2021 #23

I could, yes, but I won't, as I explain in #11. Either I read that here on DU or I am a liar. Atticus Jul 2021 #27

I understand that, but ONE person's comment doesn't seem to warrant a general admonition. brooklynite Jul 2021 #33

This was due to one particular post. It was by no means the first and such posts often Atticus Jul 2021 #35

Ah well so nobody of any real consequence. CrackityJones75 Jul 2021 #24

No. nt Atticus Jul 2021 #30

Is it more hypocritical than our being pro-vaxx and having a Catholicism or Judaism forum? Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #44

I have no idea why this is so difficult to comprehend: having the forums is not the problem. Atticus Jul 2021 #46
