19. Surprise to me...

Sun Feb 12, 2012, 12:50 AM

Feb 2012

After all the conversation about the alert police here...I had my first ever run in with them as well.

wow...these folks are, well, kinda over the top about their "job".

I used a word that I was unaware, was forbidden on the DU (no! not something racial or bigoted or obscene or any other number of words). I would have been happy to say sorry, but these alert persons are...well, ruthless. Again...wow.

SO....while the DU is just another site, amongst thousands and thousands, and I enjoy it, it most certainly makes me, at this point in time,
reconsider the site for posts and donations.

Sign me off tonight as...amazed.
