I have truly arrived. How, you ask?

111. Bwahahaha!

You're SO right about the sig line - and DU!

I thought Drunken Irishman's OP was brilliant in its brief and precise summation of what this site has become.

It's so sad to see, though. I remember reading the DU statement of purpose before I signed-up - it was described as a safe sanctuary from the constant Dem-bashing in the "liberal media". And now it has become the very thing that it once fought and defended against.

I stayed here much longer than I should have - hoping against hope that DU's original purpose would somehow rise from the ashes. But that's not going to happen. It is what it is - warring factions fighting over a tiny piece of internet property that is losing ground in traffic stats day by day.

By the time one faction or the other declares victory, they'll be down to six posters - and they won't even be able to celebrate their victory together - because they'll all have each other on Ignore.

In any event, it was good connecting with you again. You're still the on-line friend I would most like to meet in real life - too bad you're an Australian pretending to be a US citizen!!!
