And, with DU now eliminating your right of free speech -- without DU even giving you a chance to say ANYTHING -- is chilling, to say the least.

DU doesn't have free speech; it says on the terms and conditions they won't tolerate any conservatives there. Meanwhile, over at Free Britannia....we tolerated them - this is the first time I've had to ban anyone, but since their express purpose is not to do anything positive, I have little choice.

Ivan, I would like to read the DU thread -- if you have the exact link, please do post it here on this thread. Thanks.

You should probably filter out their IP addresses, so they can't just log back in with new pseudonyms.

This is the part Freepers keep getting confused about. DU is for Dems only. It is not a forum; it is a place for Dems to share thoughts that otherwise would never get discussed (since the media won't address them). At DU, they do not CARE what conservatives think or have to say. They are NOT interested (any longer) in coming to compromises with conservatives and they are NOT going to debate any issues with them any more. All that is pointless. It never accomplishes a thing.

Truth is, though conservatives have yet to fully realize it, Democrats have crossed over a line. They are angrier than they have been since the 60s and they have no tolerance or patience with conservatives anymore.

IOW, now BOTH sides believe that the only way to deal with the other side is to completely crush them.
