as do many DUers. My IL is swollen with racists, sexists, homophobes, and verbal bullies. It's the only way I can continue to participate on this forum without having to "listen" to the ugliness of trolls.

(There are days when I want "nothing to do with this site," but--compared to other activist websites--this one is least offensive and remains my primary resource for my political activism.)

(JIC: I am NOT calling you a troll. Please watch that video clip anyway.)
