Something a bit odd I've noticed lately...Maybe you have, too.

42. I'm going to address the elephant in the room.

Most likely when I've had issues with someone with a low post count, it's generally a troll. Thank you for our wonderful MIRT team for taking care of business.


However, I've been the target of several long-term members abuse and toxic behavior, which violates DU's TOS. I don't care how long that particular DU has been a member here, they directly go to my full ignore list.

No personal attacks or flaming
Do not personally attack, insult, flame, threaten, bully, harass, stalk, negatively call-out, ascribe ugly ulterior motives to, or make baseless claims about any member of this community. Do not post in a manner that is hostile, abusive, or aggressive toward any member of this community.
Why we have this rule: Civility begets quality discussions. Democratic Underground members are highly passionate about politics which means discussions can get heated -- but they don't need to get nasty. There's no reason why a community of intelligent adults who agree on a majority of political issues can't have a conversation without insulting each other or resorting to other anti-social behaviors.
