Wow! What a difference! I just blocked GD:P from the latest page and DU looks
like a place I want to be again.

I strongly recommend blocking GD:P to anyone who is disgusted and fed up with all the middle schoolish nonsense going on there.

Maybe I don't have to leave DU until after the convention after all! :D

1. You do see the irony of your name, don't you?
But it's a good idea!

7. No. Not unless you are talking about a GD:P brouhaha and someone on Obama's
team speaking a little to candidly to a reporter...

I've had this user name since 2002...

I got it from a Fred Mustard Stewart novel I read maybe 25 to 30 years ago. Hillary can't have it!!! So there!!!

6. Following a similar suggestion, I just changed my bookmark so that
it goes straight to GD. That works too and my blood pressure is the beneficiary of it.

11. "Options" at top of page ->
"Edit your preferences" -> scroll way down -> "Hide General Discussions: Primaries".

18. When you hide GD-P, it's hidden on the "Greatest" page as well. (nt)

17. I did the same thing yesterday after another DU person mentioned
it, and explained how to do it. Whew. What a difference. Wish there was a way to get the junk off the home page.

20. Kicking this so more DUers can find out how to hide GD-P.
Apparently, there's still a lot of DUers who don't know about this feature -- which has been available since Jan. 22.

22. K&R for the same reason.
I'm rolling in the GodDamn:Pr**ks forum, but wasn't aware of this feature and figure others may not, as well.
