to find proof of this. There have been, however, several threads in the last few days that have dealt with controversial topics. These threads were a bit too controversial, and were yanked by the moderators---a move that I have no problem with whatsoever, mind you; the mods do a great job here at DU, and I am always impressed by their responsiveness.
Also, there have been several threads in which I have posted rather long responses--some of which have been written with the specific intent of starting a heated dialogue. These threads have gone untouched.
Finally, in recent days, I have noticed an odd phenomenon: On a few posts, I have been the last person to post on a thread.
All coincidences? Maybe. I'm not a big serendipity person, though.
Now, mind you, I enjoy DU. I enjoy many other discussion forums, too. I am a political news junkie with what could be considered rather "progressive" tendencies. In general, I enjoy anything that allows me to procrastinate what has become a rather fruitless post-graduation job hunt. I'm not going to storm away in a massive flame-out.
Even as I write this, my irritation seems a bit silly. I can't quite pin it down. Why exactly would I be offended by a lack of responses to my posts, anyway.
Ah, forget it. Call it a side effect of stress: Delusions of persecution.
