Well, so much for this grand experiment of a non-liberal posting at DailyKos. At least for now.
You know, I support your cause of getting Bush out of office. I really do. He's a jerk. And I tried to fit in, and tried not to make waves. But ever since I started here, I knew that there were some fundamental problems with this site and this community, and a couple of days ago they came right to the fore.
Essentially, you guys think you're different, but you're really not. You're as intolerant of other points of view as anyone else, and you're just as quick on the draw to censor them. For people who are supposed to embody the liberal "ideals" of tolerance, inclusiveness, etc., as a group you're remarkably mean-spirited and vicious. As a non-liberal looking in on the liberal world, I'm decidedly unimpressed, and think I'll go back to whatever it is I did before I started wasting time here, and I think I'll stop wasting time on liberals who can't even live by the ideals they slam others for not having.
Good luck voting out those creeps. I mean that. I'm all for you. But you'll have to do it without me. Before I go, just keep this in mind:
For every one of me that'll speak up, there are hundreds more that won't. And you need every vote.
Think about it.
I might come back in the future (hence why I won't call this a GBCW). I probably won't. Regardless, I won't be reading or responding to any comments here. My email is in my profile, I'll be more than happy to have civil conversations with any one of you that chooses. I like to think that I've made a good impression on one or two of you. A couple of you have on me. But not here. Not anymore.
Bye for now.
