This is from January; I had not previously seen it.

Runs just over 12 minutes.

1. Some of the comments are pretty brutal

There seem to be a lot of ex-members who aren't too fond of this site. I was surprised to see how many lefties apparently hate this place.

[Scuba]

2. Can't make everybody happy all the time. If I ran DU I'd make some changes. But I don't....

...and I'm happy DU exists.

15. In their defense,

so were some of the purges. I'm actually amazed that *I'm* still here.

Flashback moment:
This was several years ago and I can't remember the DUer's name but he was rather a contentious person and challenged Skinner to, "if you don't like my posts, ban me!" Skinner's reply: "OK" (POOF!)

16. It was Walt Starr. Link:

3. It put a face to the text for me.

He looks like a regular guy and seems cool in person.

That works for me to stay here.

7. I met him when the Democratic Convention was in Boston in 2004

He and Elad and EarlG, as well as a number of other DUers were all in town and we had several meetups during that week. We all got together to watch the convention on TV and saw Obama's excellent speech that got him such notice.

5. K&R...

[Blue-Jay]

6. I thought that Ducks Unlimited was founded by Joseph Knapp, E. H. Low and Robert Winthrop?

8. Those vile comments sure do not make a case for the banned members

[SDuderstadt]

9. Damn...

I am disappointed I was only slammed once in the comments section.

12. Welcome back.

Say hello to everyone under the tree for me, mmmk?

[DevonRex]

13. I detect a stagger in your gait.

[DevonRex]

11. Good grief. The comments are scary. nt

[sufrommich]

14. I don't know. I'd go with pathetic more than scary.

Makes them look unhinged more than anything else. Anybody that emotionally invested in a forum needs some help.

18. Cenk and Allen led me to Max. B. & Adele Stans

I came up wondering about Walpurgis, and how the Wasillah wonder spent April 19 & 20.

Sweet mother of mercy.
