We have a great party, we have been a strong party in the past and will be in the future. Getting back to a centrist position will attract Independents and disgruntled Republicans, there are more votes in the center than on either end. Attacking the DNC will not change my position.

Probably still is. That can get you banned.

Can't help but notice that there are no names in this post. (That's a good thing. Post shouldn't be here to begin with.)

If you have something negative to say about a poster, by the intent of the rule, you shouldn't or can't name them without the threat of an alert or a banning.

This thread is little more than petulant whining about someone not breaking the rules.

Didn't read the rules when DU was brought over to the new site. (Yes, that's been years ago now.) Assumed it was still true.

Don't much like innuendo, but it's really not reasonable to complain that others don't name names and then not to name them yourself. Best for the post not to be made.

and 1 is an idiot and 1 is a wise man, people observing can't always tell which is which.
