I've always appreciated OPOL's writing and his Bernie diaries, but I'll be damned if I give DK any metrics that help enrich the sonofabitch that owns it.

They're really throwing out lies that I can't let go. Post a link and get out. I love OPOL, even though I still haven't figured out what it means, so I went over and fought by asking why they hate hope and togetherness. They sound like trump people now. We'll see what kind of responses I'll get but that's my game plan for now. What's wrong with you that you choose negativity, we'll choose to be positive. Why do you hate hope? Assholes.

a house he lived in from the ages of 8-12. We stopped in front and he said, "it looks so small." The GOS is now a small site. It was big and fun to be a part of. Now, it's small and rundown and has a foul odor.

to your old neighborhood and seeing that they bulldozed all the coll old houses ripped out the trees and turned it into a sterile, toxic, shoddily built yuppie prison complex , condos and apts disguised as growth you better believe in. If you can't afford it or don't want to live our gentrified hell just move somewhere else loser. Your not in the planning models demographic. We don't want your affordable, livable, community to spoil our investors profits. Come to think of it this is what a slum of the future looks like.

Ironic, years ago I came to DK when my favorite Democratic site back then turned into a swamp too...I'll lay odds it is some of the same old DLC posters from back then who are now leading the feeding frenzy at DK.

I was just over there for a few minutes, reccing some comments that needed help, but the smugness is just too much. I am done.

At the risk of leaving some good pieces unloved and undefended, I think that dis-engagement and not commenting is best. Particularly with the roving bands of HRC-immuno-defense lymphocytes cruising around everywhere, looking for trouble.

In fact, I wonder if someone would know how much those of us still logging in over there are helping GOS statistics/advertising?

The place has been reduced to dhonig writing a diary about some idiotic comments on a diary that got 9 reccs and flew off the page faster than Usain Bolt ever could.

Recc'd OPOL's diary and some comments and got the hell out of there.

and did not read any comments. I did answer OPOL's question though - indeed, many of us ARE too stupid to save ourselves. Prime examples abound.

4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

-- Christian Scriptures, Revelation 18:4 (KJV) source

Go from the presence of a foolish man when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

not even reccing diaries or tipping comments. I might drop an invisible flag here and there, as long as they trust me with TU status.

...to rebut and correct factual errors and misinformation. The HRC people there aren't doing themselves or their candidate any favors by wallowing in feel-good echo chamber ignorance, and driving out anyone who says things they don't want to hear.

By one side. Completely Arbitrarily.

But hey, he's got the right to do it, so fuck em.

Now I have run out of flags for 2 days running.

It's a fucking swamp over there now.

There wouldn't be much point to amassing all that stuff here even though we'd enjoy it.
Nobody has to read the comments (many of which, at least in the first few batches, were good and were getting much more votes than the derogatory ones).
