(15,480 posts)You choose anonymity, don't you? Of course, you or anyone anonymous can claim to do or be anything. If you really propose to demand the credentials of DUers whom you choose to disparage, then FIRST, you better put your ID and verifiable credentials on the line. You know, like, "I'm John Smith and I am a city council member of (city & state)" or "a state committeeman in (state)". What's your approach - dismiss anyone who disagrees with you as rabble rousers? I consider Manny intelligent & well-informed. He certainly has an impact on DU with his detailed posts.
And it's interesting that you don't consider on-line debate to be "real work for progressives". Don't you think that's just a teensy bit Luddite? (defintion: Luddite: a person opposed to increased industrialization or new technology, as in "a small-minded Luddite resisting progress".

Manny provides commentary to and links on many relevant topics, as opposed to the drive-by haters posting two line attacks.
