In not one of those posts was one DUer calling another DUer, "Hey, you are turd way." No DUer has been called 'turd way' in any conversation I have every been in, though plenty of Third Wayers claim to have been called "Turd Way" and I have been in many of those conversations, because I am a progressive, and I have never seen it. We criticize DLC, New Dem, and Third Way as a failed philosophy that is killing the party. But you want to fail to acknowledge that it is a real issue.

Instead, you seem to want to call yourself a victim of name-calling, which I did not find on your links.

I think if any post like that existed, it would be hidden by a jury as in appropriate.

Groups versus Forums: the forums are meant to allow for dissent and discussion, some groups, too. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #6

They are still subject to the DU jury system, Ms. Toad Jan 2015 #13

That's a fact. No place is safe from a jury. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #14

groups are not forums and are run differently belzabubba333 Jan 2015 #7

There are forums and groups. Assuming you meant "BOG" for "OBG"... Recursion Jan 2015 #8

Factual criticism should always be in. Falsehood never. Places to only praise are not forums, but on point Jan 2015 #12
