1. well...
in short order.

Yes, kinda.

If it's controversial and causes a huge commotion, then yeah, there may be a falling out from that, but pretty much, we can say most anything.

So, what have ya got in mind, kentuck?

Please tell me it's about Bigfoot!

2. I just called Max Baucus an asshole.
But that's not controversial, everyone knows he's an asshole.

yeah, that's about right.

at least we're not a bunch of spoon fed simpletons...

(or perhaps I should say chopsticks... ha)

7. LOL! That's funny, but I never felt we were in a Leper Colony.
Lepers had no choice but to be in the colony and could not leave.

No one pens us in here. Some of us post on both DU3 and DU2.

Some of us would rather not post at DU3.

But, AFAIK, it's always been an individual choice.

9. wait a frickin' minute... you're NOT tied down???
perhaps it's from my 6 months of modding where they had us tied up answering 50 alerts a night caused mostly by the True Believers stirring shit up, but I am shocked to hear you're not also tied up like moi!

13. Not browsing. TV talk shows. But, I should not have gone there on Kentuck's thread.
Poor guy.

6. Truth is, Kentuck, I don't think we know for sure.
But no one has violated any of the prime DU2 directives.

For example, no one has posted about voting third party or suggested not voting at all.

Criticism of Democrats from the left was allowed allowed at DU2, though less so during campaign season.

And heaven knows, none of us are Republicans.

8. a strong reply to nullify anyone from thinking we are anything but thoughtful and
well-meaning LIBERALS who just don't always agree with each other or the PARTY, but certainly don't step over any line into jerkface-mode when we disagree... the other boards can't say that.

11. That, and I don't want to lead Kentuck down a garden path.

So far, no one has been banned from here that I know of, but, then again, we have all indeed kept within the letter of the DU2 rules, AFAIK.

I don't want to tell Kentuck "anything goes" and then see him go hog wild and maybe get banned, thanks to my advice.

Then again, I cannot imagine Kentuck doing that, even if we urge him too.

Chalk it up to an abundance of caution on my part.
