We must get this to be an active forum...

[redsoxliberal]

it's already more active than most, but tell all the deaniacs you know about it!

1. A lot of folks from the blog won't even come here.

They are tired of the insults.

2. It's a shame how divisive DU is at times

At times some people here seem more interested in fighting intra-party battles than fighting the Republicans.

4. I think it's fun to slug it out with them sometimes

and I find it's still the same 3 or 4 posters that get me riled up.


...and let's all make an effort to invite every pro-Dean poster to come and check in here. All the threads will be blue for them.

3. Perhaps some of them will lurk

and in time surface.

It seems pretty stupid to refight the primary wars. None of the Clarkies I worked with in real life had horns.

[redsoxliberal]

7. I rather like(d) Clark compared to the others

in fact I've posted some at his forum as well, with the caveat that I am a Dean man so please don't bash him in the threads i'm in.

I would have been stoked with Dean, DK or Clark, but I LOVED Dean.

Funny, I got into the biggest fights with Clarkies and Kerry's in real life, and then defending Dean and DK.

5. It's unfortunate

that you need a star to participate in this forum. It's the only place in DU we can discuss Dean and not get hasseled.

6. Then, let's buy the obvious Dean fans a star!

Maybe we can have a thread here to identify them and take turns with the donations. What it the minimum, $5.00?

[JNelson6563]

8. Great idea!

I don't know the minimum and I can't participate in the buying. I would if I could but my situation here prohibits it right now.

10. I could possibly get one or two in, but by check

I'm 15 and don't have any way of paying by internet. I'd really prefer to pay in cash though, or send people cash to pay with? I'll do what I can!

11. Sounds good

Can the starless post to an existing thread?

[redsoxliberal]

12. nope, we can have them PM someone rich!

I can donate $20 (4 stars) by check.
others?

[a new day]

13. How about the PMs go to one person who posts for contributors?

I can do 5 or so.

9. Hey Mad,

can't you influence the bloggers to come into OUR forum? They don't have to get caught up in the slugfest in others. So far, I haven't seen anyone trying to disrupt here.
We need to coordinate our efforts.

P.S.: In my time in posting at DU, I have always admired your straightforward, lucid support of Howard Dean. You have been able to do so without falling into personal attack mode. And you cut through the DLC bull* like a knife through butter.
Glad to have you knocking heads together down in Florida!
