Reply #5: I think Skinner wants us fight less.

Hence the division of GD into Soapbox and Good Reads basically and the elimination of a GDP. There's an Obama group on DU2 it's just no one posts in it because no one has too. Revitalizing the Obama group would just give us more control over the spamming that goes in GDP often with the sky is falling, and I never liked it anyways type posts. I don't think the Hillary and Kucinich groups are going anywhere. I don't see my posting of speeches, pics, and primary/GE toons to be an intended use of soapbox or good reads.

We're not all going to get along, but at least we're going to have to do it more civilly. :-)

Could be the death of DU as many seem to come here for the epic flame wars (I've taken part in my fair share). :-(
