(17,656 posts)I first came to the DU forum in 2003.
I wanted to talk about getting John Kerry elected President.
It was important to me to reach out to other people to get Bush out of the White House.
But, Skinner was letting people here get ridiculed for supporting Kerry by letting other people call them Kerryokies, and arguing with them nonstop, even after he became the Democratic Presidential nominee on March 13, 2004.
Wasn't funny to me, so I stopped posting at the DU forum for a long time and decided to make my remarks on another forum.
I never made a single post in the LGBT group at DU because I am not gay.
It didn't matter to me what they were saying in that group or even if they were talking about me.
I respect gays.
And so I left them alone to say whatever they wanted to say to each other in that group.
I never even made fun of Rick Santorum's name when he ran for President last year because I thought it was offensive to gays.
Then in 2008, when I wanted to talk to people about getting Obama elected President, the same thing happened to people who supported Obama.
We were ridiculed and called Obamabots and argued with nonstop, even after he became the Democratic Presidential nominee.
Posting at the DU forum in 2012 was just a repeat of the 2008 election experience, except for one big difference -- the President was a Democrat that we were trying to get re-elected.
The jury system is flawed because Skinner didn't require that the jurors even get involved in the discussions here.
So, people who have made no posts whatsoever can serve on juries.
Gawd only knows what they think.
