Hey everybody!!

I've been on an anti-DU kick lately. I haven't been happy with the level of discourse here. I also encountered some opinions I found offensive. So I checked out other sites, certain I would find more pleasing companions.

Well.. that didn't exactly happen. So here I am.

DU isn't perfect, and never has been. I've been here for more than a decade. But if not DU, what?

Has anyone found a better alternative?

I haven't.

I end up back here, even though some people are unnecessarily snarky.

I feel like I have friends and family here. They are well-informed and articulate friends and family members, too. Uh, there's no place like home?

DU is the reason I got a computer in 2002 and even though I've gotten pissed off over the years.. it's like SKP said.. "it sucks you back in".. so far anyway.

I did notice that no one has posted any better alternatives. So I guess DU is stuck with me for the foreseeable future.

Yes, it has its flaws, but I still enjoy posting and debating here.
