It is so that when we are on a jury we can understand why a OP might have some critiques and criticisms of Democratic officials. Following the rules of DU is what is needed.

If the OP were in the way forward we would not be having this conversation.

I simply pointed out that the OP may belong in a different forum. Rules matter. Laws matter.
