Apparently the "no more wars" chanting was started by the Oregon delegation

Oregon is a closed primary state. So I don't see why people think that closing our primaries is the answer to avoiding disruptive delegates. The delegates who shouted down Panetta were registered Democrats.

That all primaries would be closed? I don't think we all agree on that.

But I am upset that so many people here are calling for closing our primaries and making the process for running for the nomination and becoming a delegate more restrictive in the future. I don't think it's worth further stifling the democratic process just to ensure that our convention is a perfect infomercial.

Why are folks so upset with somebody saying something as innocuous and inoffensive as "no more war"?

Since when was such a sentiment considered as offensive?

This place is beginning to look like a Trumpesque pro-war cheering section tonight.

What gives?

For the record, it was this "'no more wars' assholes" OP that set me off, not so much yours:

And I didn't even mind them chanting it. I joined with them at first. They just picked the wrong moment and went on too long.

I started this thread to point out to those using the incident to call for closed primaries that the people who started it were registered Democrats from a closed primary state.
