I'm curious about what haters on both sides here hope to accomplish with inflammatory posts... [View All]

that do nothing except turn GDP into a cesspool of hatred among us? Outside our online world here, all the Democrats I know are divided (husbands, wives, children, employers, employees, old, young, men, women) between Clinton and Obama for all kinds of reasons, but I have seen absolutely no vilification of the candidate one is not supporting like I see here. (I was here, by the way, throughout the 2004 candidate wars, and in my opinion, they were nothing like this.)

Again, if posts are within the rules, there's nothing those of us who are sick at heart about this hardened divisiveness can do. (We wade through the filth, trying not to miss some of the gems of wit, wisdom and enlightenment that can always be found here.) But if the crap thrown at each other, and the opposing candidate, serves no purpose except as a self-indulgent exercise in venting, insulting and belittling others, and slandering a Democratic candidate in a way that will never change another's mind -- then maybe it's unnecessary.

Just a thought. Move along, and carry on, as all have every right to do here. And many thanks to the many DUers, even here in GDP, even now, who post with respect, fair-mindedness, and good sense, and especially those who've posted the frequent conciliatory threads in an attempt to raise the level of discussion and civility on our board.
