37. I agree with that thread, now that I had a chance to look at it. DU is battering a lot of us now.

The definition of insanity, is doing the same thing (coming to look at DU for intelligent discourse and information that is useful IRL) and expecting different results.

I don't know how many of the worst offenders are paid trolls, garden variety trolls or just profoundly disturbed who come here to cause other pain - wait, that's a troll, too.

So now it's RedQueen, BainsBane, Squinch and a few others... who will no longer grace this place with their wisdom. And (the always on the verge of being silenced for 90 days) Seabeyond.
