2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: To my fellow Hillary supporters: this isn't the time to gloat. [View all]moriah
(8,311 posts)Which was being so pissed off and offended by what was said that absolutely nothing civil was going to be able to come out of your fingers right then, or stuff so awful that it's raising your blood pressure/anxiety more than any forum should to see them or attempt to rationally and civilly engage. Some attacks have driven me to that point.
For those who are better able to use snark and logic instead of, at that time, only wanting to tell someone to go DIAF... by all means, please, fight the smears. But it's no fault of your own if you, too, get passionate. Just what you do with that passion matters
Often times when I saw something that rubbed me that way, I took a break, cleaned something filthy to channel my anger, then made 10 calls for Hillary once I was back in emotional control.
