DU3, as expected, isn't just hostile toward atheists. [View all]

It's hostile toward anyone who doesn't please the tut-tutters. I honestly have never seen so much blatant hostility, incivility, and passive-aggressive nonsense on this board as I have with this latest incarnation. The complaints are growing louder and more frequent, yet you have the same DUers cooing that all is just fine, the kinks are being worked out of the system, and maybe if you are having problems, it's not DU, but your jerky self.

I've made a decision, fellow heathens, and I'll be dropping out. There are a few threads going on that I'd like to conclude, but then, after 10 years, I think I'm done. DU was always frustrating at times, but it was mostly fair and consistent. No longer with the jury system and admins who evidently are quite happy with the inmates running the asylum. I wish them luck, and hope that donations from the folks who remain are enough to sustain them.

If anyone has any other board recommendations, feel free to post them. And it's been great hanging out with all you infidels.
