I couldn't agree more. But I think it is inevitable given the calibre of many of the people that are drawn DU, that any forum devolves into
bitch...bitch
and
blah...blah

why is that? I don't know.

I came here for same reason as you, and left for same reason as your critique.
good luck to you with correcting the situation, but based on my years in or near DU... well... good luck..

Yeah except for I wasn't really trashing her. Phlem Apr 2015 #3

Well.... sheshe2 Apr 2015 #68

Nope, it happens when you ask a poster a question. It has nothing to do with "support"... tridim Apr 2015 #14

I am so sorry for your loss. The Hillary Clinton room IS for her supporters. leftofcool Apr 2015 #2
