Reading the rules of the DU is very enlightening. For such a group of “enlightened” individuals, they sure have alot of rules against non-liberals/progressives.
WHO IS WELCOME ON DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND, AND WHO IS NOT
We ban conservative disruptors who are opposed to the broad goals of this website. If you think overall that George W. Bush is doing a swell job, or if you wish to see Republicans win, or if you are generally supportive of conservative ideals, please do not register to post, as you will likely be banned.
Ok, so no disagreement with there ideals.
PERSONAL ATTACKS, CIVILITY, AND RESPECT
Every member of this community has a responsibility to participate in a respectful manner, and to help foster an atmosphere of thoughtful discussion. In this regard, we strongly advise that our members exercise a little common decency, rather than trying to parse the message board rules to figure out what type of antisocial behavior is not forbidden.
Do not post personal attacks or engage in name-calling against other members of this discussion board.
If you are going to disagree with someone, please stick to the message rather than the messenger. For example, if someone posts factually incorrect information, it is appropriate to say, “your facts are wrong,” but it is not appropriate to say “you are a liar.”
Um, sure. They sure stop that, eh?
DISRUPTION AND INAPPROPRIATE POSTINGS
Do not post messages that advocate harm or death to anyone, threaten the livelihood of anyone, or otherwise harass anyone.
Please do not post messages or jokes that could be construed as advocating harm or death to the president, or that could be construed as advocating violent overthrow of the government of the United States. The Secret Service is not known for its sense of humor.
Not, it is wrong to do that. Just, avoid pissing the USSS off.
