Will DU drain the GDP swamp tomorrow and close it forever?

Can we have a kind of amnesty, like South AFrica did back in the 80s and 90s?

Maybe we could have a GD Group Counseling forum, for those who need to seek healing.

I think this experiment on DU has taught us some things. I am making up my list now...

1. I think there's a week-long cooling down period before GD:P closes shop n/t

2. My only problem with it is that you can't hide that forum. nt

3. It doesn't really shut down...

just gets a name change back to GD-Politics

4. Maybe they'll have a mass-ban too

5. all who do not worship Obama should be banned ? - OK - no problem

6. The Admins discuss this in their directive at the top of GDP.

If you scroll down you see a section on rule enforcement once we have a presumptive nominee. In their words "We expect our members to support the Democratic nominee for president."

I imagine that to mean that DU will tolerate lots of diversity of opinion on who should be VP (until a VP is chosen), or on policy issues or campaign strategy. I also think it means no threads about not voting for the Democratic nominee because of primary campaign issues, or just rehashing grievances against the nominee. It's a waste of time anyway, but DU should be about getting on with defeating John McCain in the GE. Agreed?

9. Will people who have everyone on Ignore continue to wander around here?

Or will the mods notify them?

10. I think it should be framed and hung on the wall in the Smithsonian

Within 3 months no one will believe the putrid swill that eminated from DU. They'll have to see it to believe it.

[lumpy]

12. The putrid swill will never be forgotten that's for sure

and the so-called Democrats who have plundered this forum will always live in infamy.
