Hello, I'm Renew Deal [View all]
I've been a member of DU for 8+ years. I got here just in time for the 2004 primary. I used to argue with RWers in chat rooms until I found DU. DU was exactly what I was looking for on the internet. It was Democratic, fast moving, edgy, and fun. There were lots of people here and lots of people that liked to mix it up. The DU rules were what made this place great. Personal attacks were forbidden, and differing views were encouraged, so discussions were interesting.
I'm a NYer, former mod, and current host in Sports and Religion. My approach is hands off. So if you want little interference, I'm your guy. I'm a big fan of sports and like to see most teams do well.
Overall, I am a fan of the DU community. I am still here for the same reasons as when I joined.
