In reply to the discussion: How do you feel after reading threads like this here on DU? [View all]xmas74
(29,757 posts)The state is overrun with RW-types here-Springfield is the international headquarters for the Assemblies of God.
What my problem here at DU is that even though they know that there are Christians who post here, know that there are Christians involved in activism in a number of causes dear to their hearts around here, they still tend to have pile-ons. This thread was a mild thread, except for how many rec'd it.
I've been a member of DU for quite a few years and I know that this behavior is allowed. Not only that, but when reported nothing happens. I've made mention a time or two that I'm a Christian and have had posters on here accost me, demanding to know exactly why I "stupidly believe in a sky person". In the past, I've even had a few inform me that I didn't belong here at DU. (One of the posters who attacked me regularly is no longer here-tombstoned, though it wasn't over those attacks.)
The point is, sometimes the posts go too far. People take it too far and don't seem to care that there are members of the group that they make fun of who are long time posters here on DU. And the admins really don't do anything about it.
