I thought we were to be given the opportunity to edit threads if a Mod felt a word

[DainBramaged]

particularly the word 'asshole', was use in their mind improperly? And since when are we not allowed to criticize ANY Dem? If I had called her a jerk, moron, etc, would the thread have been locked/censored also???

Sorry to bother you but I am confused about the policy.

1. This is a joke, right?

"Since when are we not allowed to criticize ANY Dem?"

Perhaps you missed the 10 million discussion threads here on DU that are criticizing Democrats at all levels of government and politics, from President on down.

2. No it is not a joke, and I'm sorry you feel that way

I asked an honest question, I didn't think I would be admonished for asking.


My apologies.

3. I apologize for my intemperate response.

To be honest, this can be very frustrating. We set the bar so very low, and yet people keep falling below it -- and then protest when we hold them to some minimal standard.

You called a mid-level staffer in the administration an "asshole." Is it really necessary?
