In reply to the discussion: how about everyone on the male/female debate grow up? [View all]passiveporcupine
(8,175 posts)53. I'm not sure they are attention seekers, but
they certainly are sensitive on certain issues. I've been a lurker for years at DU, and didn't join because of all the petty battles here and the people who become incensed if everyone doesn't agree with them or hold the same hot button issues as sacred. It does drag your soul down after awhile. I really appreciate the rational thinkers here, who try to bring some sense into the discussions.
