66. You do not see me or anyone alerting on EVERY post we disagree with.

You don't even see MOST posts alerted on.

You don't even see a plurality of posts alerted on.

You see posts and threads alerted on that violate DU rules and standards. You see juries and hosts make the final decisions in all cases. You see the DU system of moderation at work the way it was intended to work.

So there is no "silencing" of anyone going on. There is discussion and disagreement within rules and standards accepted and acknowledged by everyone who signs up for an account here at DU.

And intimations to the contrary are insulting, I tell you for a second time, and I would ask you as a fellow DU host and someone who is expected to maintain decorum and civility to lay off the snide sidelong accusations already.
