13. To be honest, I don't think DU has that much influence.

I think it is a discussion board for people to discuss issues in a group of people who care about the same issues.

I come here for the critical thoughts and comments. The supportive thoughts are easy. The RW thoughts are predictably. I find criticisms from the left the most compelling and forward thinking. It is usually there that we learn what is coming next, or what should be coming next.

I don't see the need for anyone here to take it personally or make it personal. I would say that personal attacks/criticisms on DUers outnumber substantive posts on issues 9 to 1. And that just serves as a giant ass distraction to any real discussion.
