... DU was a site for "liberals, Democrats, and like-minded people".

I should have used small-D "democrats", but no matter - there are posters here who are definitely NOT "like-minded people".

I wasn't posting here until late 2005, so never saw the Gore attacks. When I did start posting here, disruptors were dealt with by Mods, the TOS was enforced, and posting an OP about how a Democratic POTUS was a "piece of shit used car salesman" would have gotten you a tombstone, not hundreds of RECs and a place on the Home Page.

And yes, those were the halcyon days - when the TOS meant something and "community standards" weren't up to juries who, as they often do, actually admit to voting to "hide" a post not based on its content, but based on who posted it and which "side" they were on.
