Reply #7: If I was venting... [View All]

[gcomeau]

...believe me, it wouldn't have looked nearly as polite as that. That was called a proposal. It contained all these observations and illustrations and arguments... they're designed to attempt to sway the reader around to your point of view.

Venting would have been a lot lighter on substance, a lot heavier on profanity.

And I did not anywhere suggest to "tombstone anyone for saying 'dems are being spineless pussies',". I suggested if you got people in who were systematically contributing nothing more substantive than that then the mod staff should consider getting a little more enthusiastic about taking steps. Tombstoning being only one of several available options. Warnings and suspensions being a couple others.

And quite frankly, if it's no longer the Democratic Underground just because we're not acting exactly the same as we always have when external conditions are now radically different then we SHOULDN'T stay that Democratic Underground. That's the whole point. We need to become a new one. Times are changing, we change with them or become obsolete. That's how it works.
