60. The application of the label is subjective

To the point of being capricious. Actual haters are banned all the time by both the admins and the MIRT. Some of them who are a little sly even get to over 100 posts on occaision. These folk do not belong here. They are removed every day.

How is this hard to grasp?

Those who offer criticism based in fact are the life's blood of DU. I'm sorry that there seems to be a significant group of people here who are having trouble grasping that. But then again, I have these silly notions of honest forthright debate of actual issues.

I'm saying that actual Obama Haters do not last long on DU. True there seems to be the odd latent account that suddenly goes hot, but I really don't see DU overwhelmed by Obama Hatred the way some make it sound.

I work hard to be fair and when I am labeled a Hater it gets my attention.
