Apr 2013

this particular lynch mob excels in pretending that they are the oppressed ones.

Even though NOTHING has happened and the vast majority of DUers don't believe that anything actually will.

Like I said in another post, the crap of the last few days is all the proof anyone needs to see how and why this place has diminished so much in membership and stature over the last 2-3 years. And the fact that this continues to pop up every 3-5 months just makes it all that much more face-palmingly stupid.
