(9,688 posts)The biggest problem I have contributing to DU is finding the correct line between disruptor/critic.
That is sometimes difficult, as I told a "DU host" who banned me from his group after 1, that is *one* fairly innocuous post. Or perhaps it was 2 - no more.
When I don't see open criticism I see a field of turnips.
"Under Colonel Korn's rule, the only people permitted to ask questions were those who never did. Soon the only people attending were those who never asked questions, and the sessions were discontinued altogether, since Clevinger, the corporal and Colonel Korn agreed that it was neither possible nor necessary to educate people who never questioned anything."
That was yesterday. Perhaps some contributors/mods/hosts of DU are batting down the hatches causing *them* difficulty understanding the distinction disruptor/critic?
In any event I'm attracted to DU just because it hosts both informal and/or critical discussions between some of the very best. I'm glued to many DU discussions just because this first year of Obama's 2nd term is so important to understand. To be fair I should "spread the responsibility" to all the proper actors, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the senate/congressional dems equally.
