5. Yeah, you're right. A certain notorious now-banned poster complained endlessly that one of my jokes

got a DUzy (remember those?) while her joke at something I wrote, basically about how "someone might read it anyway" even though it was posted here in TMG didn't receive the acclamation that person, and her enormous ego, felt it should .... well, the joke was funny (not DUzy funny, but still..) and yeah -she was right about one thing- it was spot-on.

This is a small group, not terribly exciting, granted. It's here for people who want it or need it. I do think that the group has suffered from being misrepresented elsewhere on DU since DU3 came on line, to the point where some people have, at times, demanded the group be shut down completely on the basis of total falsehoods posted by others about it, which bore no relation to (in fact, were 180 degrees opposite from) anything anyone actually said here.

So, it is what it is.

Also, there are many groups on DU which serve as focal points for complaining of one sort or another, other groups which generate action because they contain factions which battle each other (obvious examples spring to mind) and as such they see a lot more activity. This group, to my mind, really falls into neither category.
