40. I think back in the day, a true Liberal/Progressive
saw DU as a place to vent out our anger, until conservative ideas and thoughts start creeping
within whereas words such as trolls, bots, trollops etc became taboo.

These where words we used to express anger and disdain and it used to help ease the frustration
one felt toward BushCo et al. With the influx of different perspective we as a community became
engulf with the wrong agenda, instead of promoting new ideas, we spend our time attacking each
other, we use metaphor and psyops to discredit each other while at the same time restrictions on
using specific words became the norm, we are confronted with self aggrandizing and innuendos
followed by ginormous amount of egos that follows.

Threads after threads start calling for restrictions on what we say and how we say it, back then
it was fun, someone says something you don't like you take it as a grain of salt and move on with
your ego intact, you see the lighter side of things and focus on whats more important.

I have been here long enough to know that the internet does not control my ego.
