Sorry that I was late getting over to the forum here today.
It's been a busy day for me.

So, first I wanted to say for EVERYONE, this is the SOP for our forum here:

Statement of Purpose
A place where loyal Democrats can support our party, our candidates, and our elected officials, in a positive environment. No in-fighting or bashing.


Also please read the 'pinned' Welcome post at the top of our forum, direct link here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/110022
Some of my comments there may be of interest to some folks
----

Note: We do 'not' have the words 'safe haven' in our SOP (thank goodness) - I think those two words make it seem that folks have to be protected from passionate debate. I believe that there 'should be' lively passionate discussions/debates, especially when discussing the pros and cons of the differences between two democrats running for the same seat, etc.

The SOP states "No in-fighting or bashing" in this group - that that doesn't mean that there can not be diverse opinions, debate, constructive criticism, etc.

I would like to see this forum be a place where people feel welcome to come and post/discuss 'everything' about our party, our candidates, and our elected officials - there can be civil debate and constructive criticism while still maintaining a positive environment here

Agree or disagree? I would like to hear everyone's opinions.

Also, if we need to add additional info in the 'Welcome' post, let's talk about it and if there aren't too many objections we can add it


Edited to add: missing question mark.

Tx4obama, you have often taken a rather conservative stance JDPriestly Dec 2011 #14
Please check your DU email, I've sent a PM. Tx4obama Dec 2011 #15
Do you think you could be very tolerant of people you think are negative? JDPriestly Dec 2011 #16
I honestly don't know where you're getting your view of me. Tx4obama Dec 2011 #17
JD - the hosts only purview is to enforce the SOP. Regardless of your opinion, mine, or TX's stevenleser Dec 2011 #18
The question is how some of the things in the SOP are defined. What are the limits on, for JDPriestly Dec 2011 #19
The SOP specifically prohibits such criticism and negativity stevenleser Dec 2011 #20
What are you talking about? JDPriestly Dec 2011 #21
That is why forums like General Discussion exist for that purpose. stevenleser Dec 2011 #22
