Stuff That (Increasingly Desperately Disillusioned) Obama Supporters Say

[Summer Hathaway]

318. No, sabrina

I am not for censorship of discussion of important issues.

I am not hoping that long-time DUers will be 'forced' to leave.

Again you attribute a 'position' to me that I never expressed.

And no, I don't speak for the Admins - except in that I referred to 'election mode' rules, which are the Admin's rules, not mine. Those rules state that posts that are anti our Democratic nominee for POTUS, or other Democrats running for office, will not be allowed in the lead-up to the election.

Again, their rules - not mine. And if they deem anyone to be breaking those rules, said posters will be 'forced to leave' by virtue of their own conduct.

That this desire to see anyone who dares to raise important issues that seriously affect this country, kicked off a Democratic site ..."

Please point out where I said anything about a "desire to see anyone who dares to raise important issues" kicked off the site?

What I said was that those who are here strictly for the purpose of rec'ing negative OPs about Obama and/or the Party will probably leave if there are no such OPs to rec. I said nothing about any of them being 'forced to leave', but suggested that some of them might of their own volition once the 'election' rules are in place.

If you believe that putting an end to negative OPs about Obama or Democrats in the lead-up to November's election is equivalent to 'censoring the raising of important issues', I suggest you express that opinion to the Admins.

DU is no different than any other political discussion board. There are those here who are not Democrats, nor are they here for any well-intentioned purpose. That is just the nature of such websites, and many infiltrators are quite adept at posing as Dems (or RWers on Republican sites) in order to be accepted by other posters as being that which they are not. To believe otherwise is quite naive.

I would appreciate it if you would stop 'interpreting' my words to mean something different, and sometimes the complete opposite of what I have actually said.

To say that my comment that I suspect some posters will leave during 'election mode' rules equates to "a desire to see long-time DUers forced off the site" is really quite a stretch.
