In reply to the discussion: Hey "some" men of DU [View all]Gothmog
(145,046 posts)I mostly stay out of any of the fights or debates on DU because I am not looking to debate anyone on this site. I agree with 90%+ of the posters here on most if not all issues. DU is an amazing source of information on a wide range of issues and the materials posted here are great. I love the information and insights that I get from this board.
I go to the Discussionist site because I like debating or discussing issues with conservatives. I like to mix it up with the conservatives on Discussionist website. I am mainly dealing with very conservative types over there and go after the people with the most offensive positions. Some of these people my be DUers or ex-DUers but I doubt it in that I tend to engage mostly with obvious conservative types whose posts are too stupid to be on DU.
I like to argue and debate issues and the Discussionist site is a good place for me to engage with real conservatives. I tend not to get involved in the "debates" or "fights" on DU because I can usually see both sides of the argument and I do not think that it is appropriate to debate with people that I agree with on over 90%+ of the issues. I have been on DU for over 10 years and had lurked for a couple of years before joining. I love the information and insights that I get from DU
