But then I'm pretty sure I have a masochistic streak...

The problem with just leaving the GD groups alone is that it gives the wrong impression to casual browsers. Democrats in general are mostly moderate, easy going people, who pretty much like our party. I'd say the vast majority of us are more upset with Bush than we are with each other. And we generally see our troops as good people who have been put in a bad situation, not Nazi-wannabes. But there's a small group of people who've made the DU:GD forums their full time home, and they seem bound and determined to rid the party of anyone who doesn't share their ideological fervor. Their posts are flat out offensive to independents - exactly the people we need to win elections.

I'm uncomfortable with alerting posts: people have the right to their opinions. But we do need counterbalance, some small semblance of sanity there.
