As Ozbama's flaws become more and more clear, DUmmieland will become FUnnier and FUnnier. And Skinner doesn't know how to handle it except by writing up a plethora of highly detailed bizarre rules.

IBTP!

Hi.

[KC Burke]

Maybe if they stressed that in any negative post about President Obama they include after each and every usage of his name the parenthretic phase, “may Peace be upon him” they will still feel that the proper perspective is kept.

PING!

[a fool in paradise]

Purely Stalinist.

Sounds like they got a copy of Time-Lies-CNN or SeeBS-Viacommie or ABCDisney or Newsweak’s “style guide” for dealing with the act of holding one’s tongue in the name of advancing the socialist democrat agenda.

Wow, DU is such a tightass fascist forum. Humorless, restricting, and scared of its own thoughts.

[JennysCool]

the persistent undercurrent of negativity and conflict here, which has been exacerbated by the lack of a common villain in the form of George W. Bush

Amazing how he admits right off the bat that the Left can't function without a boogeyman.

Perhaps a DUmmie review board where every DUmmie must appear periodically to justify his or her existence to the DU.

When deciding what action is appropriate, special consideration will be given to determining whether we believe someone is, overall, a constructive and valuable member of our community.

Of course, being a donor probably doesn't hurt either, right?

- Telling someone to "shut up," "screw you," "go away," "f*ck off," or the like.

Sheesh, I wouldn't last a minute there.

[Not A Snowbird]

Are they still permitted to participate in the “What Meds Are You Taking?” threads? Those are FUn!

[Persevero]

Wow, what a ton of rules. I would be discouraged from commenting, personally.

I find it interesting that they had to asterisk “c**t” but not “who**,” “bi***,” “co******er,” etc.

I guess the c-word is the worst one or something.

I guess you can still swear. It is a potty mouth convention over there. Like being at a junior high party.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Wow - that is one incredibly thorough fisking! That must have taken you a long time!

I often think about signing up some accounts on these leftarded sites to introduce them to a few sane thought processes, but then I realize how much time that would take me

[kevkrom]

We believe that most of the DU rules are just common decency and common sense, and if everyone just tried to participate in the spirit of mutual respect it would not be necessary to post a list of rules. Of course, that is just a dream. Here in the real world it is necessary to have some concrete standards so people understand what is expected of them.

How decidedly un-"progressive" of Skinner. Isn't the whole "a perfect world is impossible because people are imperfect" mentality associated with the "reactionary right"?

Heil Obama! Heil Obama! Heil Obama!

LOL If they try to implement this within a week they will hve 3 members left!

Advocating violent overthrow of the government, or harm toward high-ranking officials.

Well, THAT's certainly a new one.

[nina0113]

Calling Barack Obama "Barry" or some other name.

Even though that's the name he used for years. Gotcha.
