Reply #145: No, but I would say that people who post about "Dancing on his grave"

Should be tombstoned or at the very least should attract a little constructive criticism.

But here the post sits, in a thread about Nader filled with acrimony:

"And for the record, yes, I hate Nader. I will dance the happiest of dances when he rots in his grave."

And here is my response in that thread:

"This sort of language is unacceptable and inappropriate.

I am not planning to vote for Nader and would prefer that he not run.
But we live in a democracy--at least in theory--and the man has a right to run if he wants to.

Further, Mr. Nader was a student of my father's in the 1960s and I have met and spoken to him, especially after my father passed away, and he was a most gracious and decent individual.

To come to a supposedly progressive and enlightened site and read this sort of trash is really, truly shocking and disgusting.

You do a profound disservice to Sen. Kerry posting trash like this."

I would hope that all of my colleagues here, whatever their position on this issue, would agree that this sort of language is WAY over the line.
