I have had it!

[Sannum]

I don't know if it is a freeper invasion or just an trend of general assholery, but I am so sick of the attacks in this forum. This is a forum for political debate, not a place for playground taunting.

Grow the fuck up or get out. I have been here much longer than many of you, and I will remain here after the smoke clears.

There is no place for sexism or racism in this forum or the Democratic Party. I wish there was a clause in the primary rules where someone could flip a coin and we would have a nominee. It would be cheaper and a hell of alot more civilized.

1. The freepers HAVE invaded and have ruined GDP.

2004 was baaaaaad, but there was NEVER these racist remarks...saw one today aimed at Hillary! or the sexist CRAP. It really has gotten OLD!

[Sannum]

2. I remember 2004 and it was not this bad.

This is anarchy. I find myself hitting "alert" on pretty much every thread.

[Adelante]

4. It wasn't this bad

You could still have a conversation back and forth. Now it's just attack attack attack, smear smear smear. I'm just as sick of it as you are.

7. I have blocked the worst offenders

it doesn't look so bad to me now :)

I am sure I am missing some DUzy's.

14. you're hitting the wrong button

Instead of "alert," the one you need is the one that says "IGNORE."

You might benefit from my perspective. I lurked here the past year, until it got so bad I desperately needed the Ignore and Hide Thread feature. So when I joined, I already knew there were several dozen posters I would immediately put on Ignore, which removed all their threads and all their vile posts from my screen.

Only you can clean up your screen, and I encourage you to do it. You'd be surprised how easy it is, once you start doing it. I am not going to get into arguments with people that go on and on, and don't accomplish anything. I am not going to see threads that are disgusting, put there to inflame.

You can wave your magic wand and in 30 minutes clean out 90% of the riff raff.

Then stick around.

3. flip a coin... Amen to that!

[BootinUp]

5. This will be the costliest primary

ever. I just hope it doesn't cost us the election cause we blew all our cash.

6. Too bad I can only recommend a post once!

8. There are a few people that are here just to stir the pot.

Don't let them get you down.

I have not posted my own thread in months as it is futile.

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. It's more like HUNDREDS are here to stir the pot and they all joined recently

I know who they are.

[izzybeans]

10. That many? I haven't been paying too close attention

but enough to notice a few.

[Bluebear]

11. You said it.

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Yeah, it's a fucking mess right now.

Someone needs to come in with hip waders and a high pressure hose to clear out all the primate dung that's been flung.

[redqueen]

13. It's so much worse than last time.

So many trolls... so little patience.

[Bake]

15. I think it's long past time for Skinner to throw a tombstone party

Some are long overdue.

16. I think so too.

The nasty creatures have so much time on their hands as well.

I am at the point where I do not support either candidate right now, but I will vote for the nominee in the GE. Nothing personally against Clinton or Obama, I just can't stand their followers or designated trolls!

17. I've Got An Alert Button

And despite all the warnings that it WOULD get this bad, I'm surprised to find myself needing to use it.

So much for party unity. How long is it going to take, if it happens at all, for us to start pulling together when the nomination is solid? And if the VP choice is unpopular...?

[Bucky]

18. "alot" isn't a real word

Wait, you probably don't like spelling prigs, either.

[OwnedByFerrets]

19. I am sick of it too...

I can hardly make myself come to what once was my favorite site on the internet. I come here to find like-minded ppl with whom I can converse about common issues. Now, all I can see across my screen is "My man is better than your woman, or vice versa". Its pathetic. I will be so glad when we can get back to bashing repugs instead of this self-mutilation. That was said "somewhat" with tongue in cheek. What I really want is for us to get back to real issues and how to fix this fucking mess we find ourself in Amerika.

[Flabbergasted]

20. I was there a month ago. Just put the ones that irritate you most on Ignore and...

DU becomes quite tolerable.
