circular firing squads. I don't need to hear about a post from three weeks ago, or how so-and-so was wrong and/or exaggerated about something in anther post. I really don't need to know that if I were paying attention, I'd know all about how "they" are trying to drive someone away from DU. Most of the time, I have no idea what the fight is about. Way to make newcomers feel part of the gang, folks!

If I want mean, I can go to any number of right wing web sites. DU isn't the place for it.
