Merely checking DU shows you are correct.

Here is an example that OC is working:

DU wisdom

Just wanted to say farewell to friends here...

Edited on Tue May-20-08 05:16 PM by theHandpuppet Sadly, after six years of fighting the good fight here at Democratic Underground, I have finally come to the conclusion that what was once a haven for Democratic voices has morphed by such an ugly, unrecognizable degree that I simply must take my leave. Fora that have admittedly had their share of heated debates and differences over the years have now been taken over by mob rule. The atmosphere has become poisonous and rather than willingly subject myself to the abuses of the new DU, it's really best that I go. I can no longer tolerate the class warfare, homophobia and sexism that actually seems to be on the rise. What progress is that, I ask myself. I'm simply watching this place implode. I gave it one last try today, tried to reach out to more reasoned voices, but after yet another wave of insults against Appalachians by the same old attack mob I've decided this has become akin to an abusive relationship. Time to go. I am going to make some copies from my DU journal this evening and shut the door on this particular chapter of my online activism.

Thanks to those holdouts here who have also fought the good fight. Without you I wouldn't have been able to continue for as long as I have. You are, perhaps, braver and stronger souls than me. You have my sincere admiration and my heartfelt gratitude. I'll miss your voices. Know that I will be there with you in spirit. You are great Dems, great folks, and I've been proud to know you.
