They are so funny. PJ got them dead to rights when he refers to them as the “ant farm”. Someone comes in to DU, drops a post just brimming with outrage using all the hot-button terms which are guaranteed to stir the ants up (such as “conservative”, “Limbaugh”, etc-sure-fire winners, those)—and away the ants go, furiously scurrying about to see which one can be the biggest, baddest, most vitriolic little DUmmy ant of all. They never concern themselves with proportionality or balance. Just drop the buzzwords amongst them, and watch them run in furious circles.
SOMEBODY SHOOK UP THE ANTS!
Like I stated above, there is a good chance that Elrond Hubbard is a LFT who went into the anthill just to stir them up for our amusement.
