"A small group" is responsible for all that ails DU

9. It's about the real estate of DU and which

subjects are allowed to live in the big house and who gets relegated to the guest house. There's an obvious tipping point in GD when the perception is that the guest house inhabitants are getting a little too frisky in the main house and it's not just feminists,it's minorities and LGBT too. I didn't even go into the Straight White Male thread yesterday because I knew it was going to be an embarrassing display of straight white male temper tantrums. Every single time GD gets too many feminist/minority/LGBT threads going,which make the main house uncomfortable,we start getting those stupid "why can't we focus on real issues" OPs.Here's what those pleas mean :You want to talk about issues that are important to feminists,go on over to Feministing,you wanna talk about white male privilege,go on over to The Grio,you want to talk about gay issues go on over to Out. The big house is for serious shit. There's a lot of sub forums on DU,which is good,the problem is when sub forums actually represent whole groups of people,like women,minorities and gays,the assumption is that their issues should stay in sub forums. In other words,go back to your guest cottages and leave the Main house alone.
