Goodbye from Doni in Georgia
I'm through here at DU. I am sick of the southern bashing and the Christian bashing and so I am chucking the whole thing. I've enjoyed meeting some folks here, but I cannot continue to subject myself to the outright hate and intolerance which is allowed on these boards against southerners and Christians.

Bye All,

1. Same reason I took a break from DU
I'm slowly returning now, but I don't even want to think of lookin' yonder in any of the real heated forums. Wishin' y'all good luck...I know how you feel, we all do. :hug:

2. Giving power to one tenth of one percent
Hey Doni,

I really don't think there are more than 60 South-bashers out of 60,000+ DUers, so it is giving a tiny group of aggressive jerks a lot of unearned power to leave DU because of them.

Best wishes,

CYD

3. Sorry you're letting a SMALL group of assholes run you off....
but I certainly understand and sympathize. These things go in cycles, and many of the loudest mouths will slip up and get banned sooner or later...

5. I've noticed a shift from the "Fuck the South" crowd
They have taken up a defensive position and some are whining about how it is unfair that they aren't allowed to say anything negative about the South.
