I’m going to provide another space for this, but mostly in the hope that people who feel the need to vent do it here and not bother those who are looking for a different experience.
It is ok to talk about dKos here, we don’t allow kos bashing.
dKos talks about dKos all the time. It’s an enormously self referential place. If it’s ok to talk about it there it’s ok to talk about it here (with the exception of I/P).
That said, most people come here because we offer original and offbeat content in a respectful and laid back atmosphere. Harshing the mellow doesn’t help you.
Even more than dKos we seek to make it difficult for you to harm each other while still allowing you to express negative opinions.
Because we’re Dirty Fucking Hippies.
If someone gives you a Wrong! it’s not only allowed but likely a mistake. Ignore it. If you are easily offended you need a gentler hobby than blogging anyway.
Most of the problems that lead people to think they’re being singled out here are software glitches that when identified we are seeking to work out with pacified who has a much closer relationship with On The Bus than with me.
I personally am not much concerned about what you post in your individual essays unless I’m considering you for promotion and even less so with comments, but if you are looking to enlighten and persuade being confrontational is unlikely to achieve your goals.
But we don’t enforce politeness either.
