Reply #1: It depends, on DU2 I like the GDP

[Union Scribe]

There's so much going on in the world that having one forum specifically for national US politics especially involving Obama really helps.

On DU2 the group forum just is not a place for that; not the place for disagreement except from an accepted few whose loyalties are already well known. On DU3, it COULD be different and even sufficient as a GDP-type place if the hosts and regulars are willing to let that happen. It's honestly up to them given the powers granted in the new software.

I know there are some who are up for civil disagreement and those who want it just for support. Maybe if the latter group see more of the former they'll come to accept/appreciate its worth.
