. . . you post this innuendo of yours like it's a foregone conclusion. Can you read? I'm a night grocery worker. A 30 year union man. I'm a registered Democrat and a member of this discussion board. That's it. No other associations, no other memberships, alliances, employment, or any other compromising reason to post here.

Talk about an easy job! You just make up your own narrative and respond to it. Forget addressing the substance within the post. Forget the answers you've gotten to your brash and suggestive query. Just keep hammering away your imaginary points about some 'transparency' and 'disclosure' and then respond to it. What do you need DU or DUers for that anyway? You can do all that make-believe stuff without talking to anyone but your lonesome self.

I think it's funny/sad how you believe that your own opinions expressed on this board are some inviolable representation of some true progressiveness which gives you license to question the integrity of others here. If you weren't so pathetic in your reasoning, I'd be inclined to think you were just putting everyone on. I think a bit of listening to others here, without the filter of your arrogant, insulting view of your fellow DUers, might just help enlighten you in areas that you haven't personally explored.

This thinking of yours that your participation here is unassailable and unquestionable is an amazing blind spot which looks to be compromising your objectiveness and costing you the comity and respect which is the basis of all reasonable and productive discussion here. Such short-sightedness from someone professing to be so concerned and knowledgeable about the folks you interact with on this board.
