Do you think I'll get banned? What for? Be specific, if you can.

You know, this would explain the recent thread on DU's decline. Nothing like being here for a year, taking exception to the notion that having a criminal themed party is essentially having a black-themed party (the notion is racist and offensive to rational thought in the extreme), then yet again having some random internet person coyly imply/threaten that I'll be gone soon for daring to examine the material posted in an OP with a critical view. I suppose the only response you may understand is simply "Enjoy your private echo chamber".
