Because he knows having all the moonbats on DU express their joy at the Pope's passing would not look very good.
Frankly,I think it is a very well written directive.
There are idiots at DU,sure,and there are even a few idiots who have shown up on FR.
Sadly,that's the way it is.
Only the DUmmies could insult the Pope hours after he passes away. How low.
"We all have our crazies." - Rabbi Jon Stein.
I'm hoping they have the same warning for Jerry Falwell when he passes, but I'm not holding my breath.
DU and the democrats utterly hate Christians in general and the Pope in particular. This is just window-dressing.
"But I hope that during this time when many of our members are grieving, this community can be a source of support and understanding for our brothers and sisters of faith."
Good luck with that, Skinner.
I use to lurk around there quite a bit (it is always good to know what the enemy is up to), but I kept slipping on my own vomit so I had to quit.
It's driving them nuts that these share a common moral persuasion. The truth is, lefties hate all three of these men.
I looked at DU about an hour ago and was pleasantly surprised to see a lack of venom on the Pope thread. There were a few deleted comments, but mostly people saying how sad this was and RIP. Someone even mentioned Divine Mercy Sunday! However, I have no idea if these respectful posters are typical of DU'ers or a "fringe" element of that site.
It's merely a CYA effort.
LOL-- ROFL
The large number of deleted messages might providea a clue.
Hmmmmmm!
goto their thread and see how many posts have been deleted. Apparently the rules have been changed to not mock the pope that helped defeat their ideology. I guess showing the true face of the left is not a good idea right now. Now you see people write stuff like this:
"my momma says,
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all."
" Since I don't want to break the rules
I'll bite my tongue regarding your comment."
They're still stinging a little from the negative publicity over one nutbar's post on DU raising conspiracy theories behind the 12/26 tsunami. The administrator is trying to nip things in the bud this time.
Yep, I think you right there.
The mods are going to be very busy over on the dark side.
