dkf did not "scrupulously follow" DU guidelines, sweetie. She did not just criticize all the things you mentioned; it would have been quite okay if she'd done that because a lot of us have issues with them as well. It was HOW she did it and her taking it way too far. One of her last threads was RW Obama-and-Dem-hating Manhattan Institute/National Review bullshit regarding the nefarious purposes of the ACA that spouted forth RW and Fox talking points almost verbatim.
Her visceral hatred and bashing of public education and teachers did not display a shred of Democratic values. You can have reservations about something and want things changed, as, indeed, there's much to work on in public education, but to continually spout RW bullshit then bash those teachers here who've dedicated their lives to their professions is quite another matter altogether. She spouted the RW bullshit line on almost any thread you can think of. And what really pisses me off is that she was serial alerter who dished it out but couldn't take it herself, alerting on any single post, even joking ones, that offended her in the slightest. She got a lot of good people here TS'd, while she remained here spouting her RW bullshit. It got to the point where many people simply avoided both her threads and any responses to her on other threads, SHE was the one you had to tiptoe around.
I could go on and on and on, but something tells me you don't care and aren't listening at all, just like her.
Oh, and IBTL. LOL
