Throughout history, it is always the practice of groups on both the left and right of the political spectrum to try and consume their own. Probably misdirected passion..or whatever....as one who tends to usually ignore these type of threads 99% of the time, as well as those frantically posted about something that's happening on the DU website, while I understand that you feel theneed, and responsibility, to keep of informed, don't you run the risk of giving them more import and publicity than their worth? It's a fine line, and I don't profess to know which is the best course of action, but considering the Joe Everyman thread, whichyou locked at 320 replies, and ultimately decided to remove...maybe an alternative course of action would have been to leave the original post up, but remove ALL the comments....Part of the attraction for disruptors is all the attention they get..it's evident to them in all the virulent responses and anger they trigger, so why not deny them their pleasure.....

Presumably, then, he has an axe to grind? Not so much based on political idiology but on personal grounds?
