I respectfully suggest that we just ignore JPR from now on. [View all]

I don't know how many remember but when Kerry won the nomination in 2004 a bunch of disaffected Dean-supporting DUers (anyone remember Slinkerwink?) jumped ship to a new Dean-supporting forum very much modeled on DU. But it faded away pretty fast and I don't see any posts there more recent than December 2005:

Soon JPR will go the same way; flinging the c-word at Hillary, lamenting Bernie's endorsement of her, and pimping Jill Stein will get old pretty quickly. I suggest that we let that place die a natural death and when good DUers start returning here let's welcome them back without snarkiness. Defeating the conceited, ignorant, dangerous, sociopathic, racist, mysogynistic maniac is by far our main priority now.
