None of those matter to me and I'm not sure they matter to others. 8 years ago this country, thankfully, elected a man who not only looked like no prior president but also had what many considered a funny name. I take that as proof that that stuff doesn't matter anymore. Or at the least, it does not matter more than their record, their platform and the alternative candidate.
I hear you on the alerts. Personally I don't expect everyone on here to agree with me and I am not easily offended. I don't believe that the alert system should be used to drive others off of DU. MIRT does fine in extreme or obvious cases. I come for an open discussion and have generally enjoyed them until about 2 months back...when the alert wars started.
