28. I am not disagreeing that the BOG is set-up only for admiration and not discussion.

And without condensation I think that's fine. In fact I wholly support it hoping that it will reduce conflicts in GD. I don't mind at all if posters want to follow the President w/o question, I only mind when they expect others to, to the point of rudeness. I think it's unreasonable to expect "politically liberal" posters to unquestioningly follow anyone. I got in trouble because I responded to an OP that showed up on the Greatest Page. I didn't notice it was the BOG and wouldn't have violated their sanctity had I known.

"But as I stated a little earlier ... I will not be participating in/posting to this group." I think that's a shame because I feel you bring a perspective to the table without ridicule and rudeness.

I don't understand those here in DU (I am not including you) that are unwilling to speak to certain subjects solely because they won't dare say anything possibly counter to the President. If posters support the President's stand on the TPP, it would be good to hear their arguments.

I've not seen anyone saying that "there is no room for a group" like the BOG. That's a strawman. rhett o rick Nov 2014 #11
