(62,325 posts)one of the nicest people on DU and the past few days here, seeing these attacks on YOU of all people, has had a profound effect on many of us.
I am used to being attacked here, to being called a liar, and when that got hidden, the word 'dishonest' was used. I am told there are places where people go to 'target' people on DU. I have no idea if that is true or not, but if it is, this is not the place I want to be either.
I saw willy being attacked, many others, good Democrats, mostly like you, people who never attack others here, simply disagree with some of the policies of this administration. THAT appears to be unacceptable to certain people here.
A lot of good Dems HAVE left this forum because they have better things to do and in RL would never waste a minute on people whose only mode of discussion is to attack and label people.
I am deeply sorry for the hurt you have been subjected to. It disgusts me and clearly a majority of DUers.
There is a nastiness here now that equals and even surpasses the nastiness I experienced on a right wing dominated forum during the Bush years, before I discovered Dem forums.
If this is how they think they are going to win, they need to look back at what happened in 2010. People will not tolerate this kind of nastiness from their own party.
I am with you, I have asked if this is the position of the Dem Party now, that they don't want 'old people' or view anyone who disagrees with the President as a 'racist'. I WANT to know the answer to that before doing a single thing more for this party.
All I can say to you is, I am sorry but it IS just a small minority who are on the ignore lists of most DUers, because of their behavior here. But with more good Dems leaving DU, that poster may be right, they will be the majority HERE after everyone else leaves.
Take care and keep up the good work YOU are doing. I will continue to look for tweets on Twitter where you can reach so many more people than here anyhow, and you do.
