Am I the only one shocked at how many DUers still don't "get it?"

87. how many years ago?

You mean in the good old days of OMC that we never had high post count people disagreeing with the majority.

Or in the good old days of Carlos?

But he pre-dates you. People used to tear their hair out and scream about the things Carlos would say. Yet he had tens of thousands of posts, and he used to write articles for the front page of DU.

And then there was MrBenchley who used to write the Bob Boudelang column for DU. And here's a post decrying the bad behaviour of Benchley http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=118&topic_id=24446&mesg_id=24605

Over the years many high count posters have been given the boot, some of them from the left (Walt Starr and You Better Believe It) and some from the right, or suspected right (Hamden Rice, Old Leftie Lawyer (although she came back as Tangerine LaBamba until she passed away) and others I have forgotten, but not my darling Omega Minimo.

DU has NEVER been and hopefully WILL never be without some members who aggravate large groups of other members. Skinner's advice from a long time ago. If somebody posts something you strongly disagree with, then post a reply telling them why they are wrong, or if they really push your buttons, then put them on ignore.
