What I learned from my TSing from a thread on the GD:P
Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 08:39 PM by Kerry2008
You don't call out other posters and make batshit crazy remarks about them.

I got served the pizza once myself.

Haven't gone back for seconds, and have no intentions to.

So you better think and cool yourself off before you post, and lash out at fellow DUers in the GDP section.

I know this Presidential season is long. But tell yourself it's just a forum, it's just the internet.

The Presidential season will soon be over. And we'll win!!

Mmmmk?

16. Yeah
Some moderators don't like off topic threads, especially political ones, because posters become very abusive to one another...But they do it even when the subject is sports...


I forgot the topic but I kept posting an anti-McCain thread and it kept getting deleted...

17. Wow... I knew Skinner, Elad, EarlG were powerful....
And now, I known they can bring folks back from the dead! Good to know, just in case...:evilgrin:

Glad you learned a valuable lesson and are back to remind others.... A few seconds of angry, nasty, emotional catharsis is really not worth it...

14. You never know when there's gonna be an "event".
Actually, the timing of these things with the improvements in our numbers suggests PUMA-like motives.

Some are worried that it's going too well....

25. I saw your post on CapHill afterwards...
and I saw that even after that, you were willing to support Obama. You weren't joining in the hate fest. Don't know why, but it impressed me.
After you've been burned, it's easy to join in something like that, you know, for catharsis.
So...whatever happened in the past, is in the past.
I'm glad you were able to make it back.
I apologize too, for anything I said that was unkind. I hate being unkind to people.

It makes me sad. I really liked a couple of the people there. :(
I'd still be friends with them. I just wish they weren't so hateful.

29. I think they caught on that I was only there to spy on what they were saying.
I nodded and agreed, and pretended to be on board.

The fact I still supported Obama-Biden didn't go over well there.

They saw right there what I was trying to do.

Oh well, you're right. They're VERY hateful there.

And a couple of them are former DUers who I like, and some current DUers I still like.

31. I hope that eventually they realize the harm that McCain-Palin will inflict on the world.
I think many of them will secretly vote Democratic even if they claim they won't.
I think that if they truly care, their conscience won't allow otherwise.

Like a bad train wreck.

I pretended to be on board with their non sense to get a front row seat.

57. I've supported Obama since over a month before he won the nomination.
Edited on Fri Sep-19-08 01:34 PM by Kerry2008
I support our nominee, and never disliked him.

He's a great man, and will make a great President.

Have a good day, yourself.

And by the way, I've never shyed away from the fact I thought another candidate was better prepared than Obama. Obama was actually my third candidate of choice, first it was Edwards, then Hillary. And now Obama.

This thread was in response to a thread from a poster calling out another one.
