each explaining to me that SOP says "No disruptive meta."

I find this odd, because when I wrote the SOP, I was very explicit:

"To discuss and debate issues, candidates, and strategies related to the promotion of progressive, populist reforms within the Democratic Party."

Not a word about "No disruptive meta."

Now my ground rules are a little different:

SOME GROUND RULES:

• The PRG is a safe house for DUers interested in the progressive, populist reform of our Democratic party.
• If you disagree with PRG's message or goal, that's OK. Find a group that fits, or enjoy the DU forums.
• Everyone starts out as welcomed. No one earns their way in - only their way out.
• Follow all DU rules. Don't put the group at risk

Hmm, still nothing about "No disruptive meta."

I understand this post was cross-posted from GDP, where it WAS locked as having violated the SOP of that forum. A valid lock, IMO.

That's why I was happy to have Manny post his OP here at the PRG. Manny's OP falls under the header of debate of issues, candidates, and strategies related to the promotion of progressive, populist reforms within the Democratic Party.

The post will stand.

I hope Manny posts more frequently in the Progressive Reform Group. As long as he continues to follow the SOP, he'll always be welcome here.
