There are some on DU Calling for the banning

[DFW]

121. There must be some nuance to all this

All this business with new rules and all took place during time I was not active on DU, and I haven't gone over them in detail, but I think there has to be a middle ground between a desire to completely control all dialogue and a laissez-faire attitude that permits any and all vicious ugliness, both spontaneous and organized. I don't know ANYONE who doesn't like Thom Hartmann, whether you are 100% with him politically or not. On the other hand, I can't imagine anyone here who uses Fox Noise as a serious source of information or inspiration, although I did indeed sense of that from the more dedicated of the "I-Hate-Hillary" crowd before I left.

I find myself with a modified version of Mao's "Let a hundred flowers bloom. Let a hundred schools of though contend." Never mind that Mao never intended for his phrase to be taken seriously in 1960s China. I take it seriously now, although when I say "let a hundred schools of thought contend," I did NOT interpret that to mean "let a hundred posters on DU tear each other to bloody shreds and feed the scraps to hungry great whites." Not all shared my point of view, but what else is new?
