When I first posted here, back in May, they were just running the beta test on the new site.

At that time we had a few gun control supporters clamoring to totally remove the forum from DU as inappropriate for "true liberal/progressive thinking". I wanted Skinner, and anyone in Admin that was paying attention, to at least know there were more than a few of us that wanted to keep this forum open and active.

Any fears I had then were not only unfounded, but many of those gun control people are now long gone, unable to carry on a conversation under Skinners new rules of civility without ranting and raving or name calling.

There are still a few that seem to try and clumsily bait 2nd supporters into violating the rules, but in time they'll succumb to their own cupidity and close mindedness.
