I made the mistake of trying to debate the Accelerated Turnover with some DU'ers. They called me "a**hole" and then had my posting privelege revoked. Which is weird because they are the ones who used vulgarity. All I did was ask them to explain "How is this not good news?"
So, I've learned the hard way: DU is an echo chamber and any dissension is censored. They can't even debate!
It's a cesspool over at the DUmp. I've read from others exactly as you describe though, censorship of anything that veers off the party lines.
I never go over there. Don't want to get warts.
