Maybe I'm crazy... [View all]

I tried, I mean I really tried to have a conversation about the two emails out of 20,000 that seem to have lit up the various forums round here - but apparently that's just not possible. Maybe I'm just insensitive - but I've been a boss of a reasonably big organization and I know what it's like. People email you all sorts of irrational shit. People that you think would know better. But they're just human - so in the heat of the moment they send you stuff. Stuff you know doesn't really represent their best nature. Stuff that on their best days they would never dream of sending you. So you take a breath and you don't over-react to their overreaction. Hopefully, when they calm down you can deal with it. As long as it's just thoughts shared with you - you have that luxury to let them blow off steam.

I have yet to see anything that proves that irreprable harm was done by the DNC to the Sanders campaign. I have yet to see anything that proves anyone's rights were violated. I have yet to see anything that proves the wrong person won the primaries. Were people less than perfect on both sides? You bet - because they are human.

Apparently being less than perfect is unforgivable around here.
