4. Jesus, don't encourage them! Now we're going to see those two words 800 times a day!
(Good post, though. Thanks for the laugh.)

6. I like a good argument as much as the next guy. But name-calling is childish, not to mention
that it's getting boring.

5. I support Hillary Clinton. Please don't tag me with some stupid name.
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 06:02 PM by terrya
Because I wouldn't do the same to anyone who supports Obama.

Thanks in advance.

10. Thank you for saying that. One thing I can promise: I will not call ANYONE any childish names
because they support one candidate or another.

I can find plenty of aspersions to cast, and arguments to start, without resorting to fourth-grade tactics.

And as for YOU, I'll tell you right now that you are, and you know it, don't try to deny it...

one of the good ones around here.

15. I know it's tempting to insult the folks who ugly up DU...
But keep in mind that it's an appellation still based on the name of one of our Democratic leaders. It's a term that, soon enough, a lot of slimy Freepers will adopt for anyone who supports our nominee if she wins the nomination.

I liked your "rant" post about the vitriol coming from people claiming to support Clinton. It inspired me to start just putting all haters in GD:P on ignore. You're right, but calling people names is one way that the hard feeling and taunts get started.

20. I know. I know.
I try so hard to refrain but sometimes it just rips at my being. I cant read a single thread anymore without seeing some snarky insult to Obama supporters. You're right. I know you're right. I stooped and I shouldnt have.

38. All righty, then. You've just raised the level of discourse on DU by one notch. And that is
NOT an inconsequential thing to do. Be proud of yourself.

(Not one iota of sarcasm here.)

11. It's funny to watch when you can't stand either candidate.
Kind of like watching McCain supporters and Romney supporters do it.

Christ, you'd think Senators Clinton and Obama were both Republican, the way people sling the shit in this forum.

34. Thank you too much. I, myself, am a closet Republican (and a paid troll) according to some
folks around here. But no matter, I'll vote for whoever ends up being the Democratic nominee, come November.

Unfortunately the children have taken over DU. It's embarrassing.

23. Yes, as much as I enjoy imagining the spittle flying as some of these people post,
it's getting old. And, you're correct, embarrassing to anyone who cares about DU.

30. Oh, no. On behalf of Mrs R, who is a Patriots fan, I think I can say you are welcome to call
Mr Brady pretty much anything you want to.

For my part, I was just happy to be able to watch a good game. But Mrs R wasn't pleased with the outcome.

50. You know,
it seems to me that during the last primary season, Skinner intervened and changed the rules. The childish name calling was strictly prohibited. Too bad people can't be adults and it has to come to that.

And for the life of me, I can't figure out what you need another pair of! :shrug: :rofl:

47. Obama bot. Obama babies. Wussies. Crybabies.
And similar things on the other side.

I'm waiting for someone to call one of the candidates poopie pants.

I've even gotten a smilie ready for when I sarcastically say that my candidate could beat up your candidate.



Or this one



Can't decide.
