I ventured into a conversation today and met creatures with the thinnest skin imaginable.


It was so thin that they appeared to be almost translucent. At first I was concerned that such beings cannot exist in the outside world for long and that this must be some enchanted realm: seldom seen by the outside world.

When their proclamations were not met with fawning approval and breathy echos of support they became angered.

I then realized that my encounter was not with enchanted beings but with malevolent creatures who do not tolerate the world of reason: the world from which I came.

I am glad to say that I survived to tell this tale, but please beware.


Monstrosities lay beyond the borders of reason.

You were banned from the Obama closed, private group for rude behavior and ignoring our SOP laws. You behaved like a bully.

There is a reason that DU allows for groups here as a safe haven. Just because you don't agree with us, doesn't give you the right to come and disrupt our group.

That's so in the style of a teahadist, obstructionist neo-con. Not a true liberal, respecting others opinions and differences.

I'm sorry if you have confused the two, and I understand that you have had a tough day.

Also please try to not be disingenuous with your accusations.

Your SOP relates to the long past 2012 election and any prior primary moves. SOP states not just once but FOUR times that you want to "discuss" Obama. The OP was flamebait attacking anyone who would oppose entry into Syria without more proof and when several long time posters RESPECTFULLY disagreed half your group got their underwear in a knot and banned us. Frankly you couldn't pay me enough to go back there, but on a forum that IS open to me I'll say this-you have totally misrepresented what went on.

Let others read and decide.

Wouldn't they be more comfortable were that not the case?
