It's really not ok to be mean.
So we don't prefer a certain democratic candidate, we DISAGREE we don't annihilate - or do we?

There is no sense in making enemies of fellow posters or other democratic supporters. It's not OK to pay back with horrible words, or threats dipped in sarcasm, at least that's what we teach our kids isn't it?


Our alternative is McCain. I'll take the less preferred democratic candidate myself.


(the Greek interpretation of sarcasm: to tear flesh)

1. Amen
Cannot believe the things we say to each other around here. Remember the Golden Rule.

2. To paraphrase ...
... Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan from M*A*S*H*: "This isn't a website - this is an insane asylum!"

Thanks for trying to inject a dose of common sense into the mix!

I just finished editing a post because its meanness drowned out my message. I rewrote it to get my point across without overreacting, lashing out or launching a personal attack.
