In reply to the discussion: Has the banning of dkf made you more reluctant to criticize certain things on DU? [View all]Demo_Chris
(6,234 posts)I've run into this myself.
The other thing that astonished me was how, after only being here a few DAYS (I had maybe fifty posts or so), and I already had fifteen or twenty "star" members ignoring me -- and had been banned from the Barrack Obama Group. It's like the minute they see someone new they click ignore. Pretty pathetic really, but then I am not interested in talking to someone that shallow minded in any case.
I still don't even know what the Barrack Obama Group is, or how one might join. Don't bother to explain, they are not interested in me anyway.
I came here during the Meta forum thing. I am not sure how long it had been going on, but it turns out it was just beginning to hit it's final climax at about the time I drifted in. In my opinion it was disgusting, and I was astonished to find anything like that here on a liberal website. Now I know better. I love this website, it's the first place I go for news, but there are some people here who use some twisted methods to try and control the dialog.
