to dealt with being banned for "differing opinions." That is not true, as evidenced by the fact that you, and the poster, are still here.

Disagreeing with "criticism" is a different matter, and it would do us all well to remember that criticism works both ways. If it seems to you like there is "no room for any criticism at all," perhaps the arguments that you use to support your criticism are not all that convincing. It is not against the TOS to disagree with and counter-criticize, those who criticize President Obama or the Democratic Party.

I know for a fact that there are still remnants of vitriol and anger left over from the 2008 Primaries, which I suspect is a part of the "criticism" antagonism from both sides of that unfortunate episode.

What I was actually responding to, however, has to do with the influx of right-wings trolls (as identified by MIRT) which have attacked DU in recent weeks. Their RNC, NRA, and Tea Party "talking points" have been extremely transparent, and it's likely that they are appearing in so many numbers due to a concentrated effort by other right-wing web sites which monitor DU 24/7.
