Hahaha.... That's rich.

All this banning and alerting....

I never alert on anyone on DU.... even if they accused me of fondling my clientele! There's nothing that important to get so upset over. Why alert and ban? This is a message board.... an e-cocktail party.

Alerting and banning certainly ends any discussion.... which is just bizarre for groups who say they want to discuss things and "all are welcome". There's certainly nothing disrupting about asking why someone on DU is pushing RW memes. And one can read exactly what people type....in black and white.... it's right there. Making up between-the-lines fantasy statements about what one THINKS someone MIGHT actually mean when one can just read what they wrote... just to cause a kerfuffle... is despicable.

Also, statements like "god works in mysterious ways" and "We're all in god's hands" (god has hands?) are decidedly devised to END discussion.

I guess I'll just have to remember that when the mission statement says "all are welcome" and they want to "discuss yada yada", they really don't mean it.
