It is my observation on how this group is run and how it does treat people. Any of us who are here, who are not deemed regulars, are here for the disruptive entertainment. Some of us see this as a chance for our voices to be heard. As to why we don't want to participate here. Here is still DU.

This behavior is not so very different from what you and I both encountered in the Sports forum.
