If you find yourself calling someone an idiot or asshole in a reply, please consider getting up and taking a quick walk.

Get away from DU for a while. The last 3 posts I read had very vicious and meanspirited responses that were probably due to anxiety and information overload.

Take a break if you need it. Don't take it out on fellow DUers.

Thanks.

1. Good advice
I've had to bite my tounge a few times in the recent past so I know what you are saying. Don't get yourself banned on election night my fellow DUers for being overly anxious.

5. Yeah. We're nervous.
But, we're all in this together. It's natural to panic. We need to give some people a break, on both sides. No more personal attacks. :grouphug:
