I was banned within 2 days of being there.

You won't change any minds over there, but the bottom line is that they are not even interested in any dicussion of the facts or the issues. You either toe their line or you don't belong.

It's their site and they can do what they want with it. But they are simply unprepared to confront issues in any meaningful or factual way. They're Democrats, after all. They're not interested in facts and they are fearful of confrontation, and don't know any other way but to ban people who don't agree with them. I disagree with the way they run the site, but that is their choice. I figure that if someone is respectful they should be allowed to stay, but they obviously see it differently. They are overprotective of their beliefs without the courage to confront an alternative view.

I'm not sure if Jim Rob would ban a democrat or a liberal from this site who was respectful but assertive. But I see many diverse views here, and many people disagree a lot, and are very willing to challenge each other without getting banned. I don't think the folks at DU are up for real debate, freeper style.

I agree..their site is pathetic! There is no evidence of intelligence over there..just whining, complaining and absolutely no humor or wit at all.

Of course, don't they say that a good wit is evidence of the highest level of intelligence?

I take great pride in being banned from DU. Secret .... I was going to start out easy and then turn the conservative volume up a little at a time just to see where the threshold was. It took one reply and two days after registering to get banned. I found it a lot faster than I even expected. That banning concreted my opinion that those people are nothing but a collection of hate everything about America losers that wouldn't know what free thinking really was if it bit them in the rear-end.
