by the hosts as much as anywhere in GD. I'm pretty much out of here.
It's not the criticism so much, it's the over-the-top emotionalism, the hyperbole, the sly and not so sly hatred for anything pragmatic.
And jumping on anyone for just about anything. I guy can't grip about the cost of Oreos without people jumping on his case.
It's turned into a hater site.
DU is in a bubble just as much as any right-wing site.

Become hosts of the GD everyone. Your voices are all welcome and needed. graham4anything Jun 2013 #13

I find this unhelpful. Being a host in GD is not, IMHO, a proxy war to replace META. grantcart Jun 2013 #15

Sorry this in violation of the SOP as it does not focus grantcart Jun 2013 #14
