This whole thing is crazy [View all]
Someone was banned, by the owners of this site and I keep reading post after,post after, post from a group that are pissed off. Well I found this in the Terms of Service.
By registering a Democratic Underground account, you agree to abide by these terms. A single violation of any of these terms could result in your posting privileges being revoked without warning.
The Democratic Underground Administrators have a great deal of confidence in our system of citizen jurors and software tools, but we are well aware that trolls are constantly on the lookout for new ways to cause trouble and therefore on rare occasions it may necessary for us to revoke a member's posting privileges for reasons that are not covered by these Terms of Service. Because of this necessity, we retain the right to revoke any member's posting privileges at any time for any reason.
There is more if you look at the terms of service. The point is the owners have the right to ban someone, whether you think it was right or not. All the pissing and moaning about DU, Skinner, and Earl G. won't change things, it's only making it a lot worse. This is a site for democrats, liberals, progressives, and populists to come and try and get democrats elected, it says that right in the Terms of Service. We need to come together, not keep on fighting and slinging mud like children on the playground.
One of the three candidates we have running WILL be the nominee, we need to accept the fact it might not be the one we want, but attacking each other won't change things. We can't we at least try to follow the rules set out here by the owners and get democrats elected?
