28. Do we end speculation entirely ?

Thu May 11, 2017, 05:21 PM

May 2017

Or just Mensch ,Taylor and Schindler mentions? Scepticism is alive and well among DUers.
Speculation and gossip has it's place.How boring life would be without it.I need more than intellect driven content.I come here to learn and share ideas, yes, but I also come here to rage , scream , laugh and connect.DU is a great emotional outlet for me.Gossip and speculation are a part of that.I'm not worried about this sites credibility at all.
