That's where I plan to post most of the stuff I generally post in here such as speeches, pics, etc.

Enjoy!

4. I think the pressure to turn Soapbox into GD and Obama group into GDP is overwhelming.
Kinda like the pressure to consolidate insurance groups into one large group under ObamaCares.

Going to happen either way. :)

It was a nice thought that we could all get along but I have doubts that would ever happen.

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). :-(

8. I think so, too, but I think he has too much hope in us. :)
I do hope he pressures them to leave it the way it is (and you won't like it!), but if he does maybe DU can be the way it was 8-9 years ago when we all were respectful toward one another.

11. Make a suggestion here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/du3/1013151

In lieu of a more proper avenue. Skinner is responding to things fairly quickly and since it's in announcements the suggestion won't go anywhere.
