The problem with defending Snowden.

81. If you look at DU's site stats, traffic is way down,

like many left/leftish sites nowadays at this point in the election cycles.

That leaves the way clear for a tribal swarming cabal that's throwing these sorts of allegations around (and I was just accused of resurrecting a "dormant" account upthread simply for daring to pipe up with a sentiment another member didn't agree with) to attempt to grab dominance, including on jury service, since many folks who don't agree with them either don't visit and participate at the moment, or just go elsewhere when they see what's going on because they see it as a waste of time and energy.

For a bunch of self-proclaimed "antiauthoritarians," some are showing their true colors very clearly at the moment. It's attempted bullying, pure and simple.

ProSense can take it without my defending her, but since there's so much handwringing about "FOCUS ON THE ISSUES NOT PERSONALITIES!" I'm surprised these folks aren't using their time more productively than trying to squash what they see as "dissent" on this board by throwing around personal slurs--like lobbying their congresscritters about those issues, or at least posting numerous threads organizing strategies for doing that, for instance.

And yeah, I could use some $ myself.
