No reason to send this to DU. The points outlined in this article get utilized quite a bit here. The main difference being that here most people do replace essential vowels with symbol characters.

As for referring to someone as an idiot or moron, which gets done a lot here, I have always interpreted that as the poster not being able to adequately explain their points and it is just easier to blame their deficiencies on someone else.

You too? I could not believe the amount of casual use.

I wonder what the percentage of profane words is in a typical DU thread?

Only once? Visiting once a month is probably the right frequency for spying on the Democratic Underground. More than that can turn off a person from participating in politics for good, but less than that lets one become so entrenched in their own little world that they may not realize which issues that are being used to convert and brainwash our young people.

Hehehe.... if profanity was deleted from their posts over there they'd sound like toddlers just learning to talk. I would say that they'd sound like idiots, but they already do so that would be pointless.
