The miserble, shitty, inexcusable Witchfinders General, who can find "misogynist" conspiracy in the statement "I really like cats" have been allowed to run roughshod for years without ever getting the tombstones that should have been handed out long, long ago. Their word and idea policing and alert-stalking led met to leave DU for a year beginning in summer 2013. But there are too many wonderful people here and I will not be run off: Cal Peggy, Octafish, WillyT, Warren deMontague, SCE, LynneSin, Miles Archer, the Bernie group and so many others I like and respect. they make my world a better place and I will not let the shrieking assholes deprive me of their company.

The original Witchfinders General have now been joined by an equally deranged bunch of idiots who can find racism in the same statement. My personal approach is to avoid dealing with these morons, who are as incorregibly imbecilic and simple-minded as any other kind of fundy.

Fuck them all, with a red-hot poker. They are not true liberals/progressives/socialists. They are totalitarian shitheels. They are just single-minded, single-issue ideologues who deserve all the scorn that can be poured upon them. Scorn which I will happily continue to pour at every opportunity. The world and humans are not perfectable. I just think we should all try to make the world better place while remaining humble in that realization. In the words of the brilliant Reinhold Niebuhr, politics is the process of seeking proximate solutions to insoluble problems.

And that's that.
