(10,000 posts)Not all conservatives deny global warming. Some simply don't see it as being as dire as others do.

What I see is a DU in which many DUers seem to a litmus test. Some kind of orthodoxy that allows some on this site to say "you're not progressive enough"...and, in the finest political tradition, they want purging and blacklisting.
Many DUers are happy that DKF was tombstoned. I get it. But here's the thing -- DKF had 2,600 posts in 3 months and not one of them was hidden by jury decision. If DKF was such a raving, offensive wingnut, as everyone here seems to be indicting, why were none of those posts hidden? What does that say about the community.
