253. Ah, I found the post you referred to.

Still no names. As an alternative, you could post your objection in the threads that offend you. My point still stands. Open-ended general accusations are pretty much worthless. They may make you feel better, somehow, but do not inform.

If you see a DUer espousing right-wing positions on DU, you could confront them with that right there in a reply to that post. If it's truly a right-wing view, that would violate the DU TOS, so you can also alert on the post.

This thread is little more than a broad-brush accusation of people you won't or can't name. That makes it much less than useful.

I did see that it got almost 100 DU Recs. I can almost certainly predict who at least 60% of them are. That's a good rec result. However, I was not one of those recs, and I have explained why more than once in this thread. I don't rec broad, nebulous attacks on unnamed DUers. Your mileage may differ.
