For my 7000th post, I'll wade into GD:P.

[grace0418]

Pretty much just want to say that I wish the Clinton haters and the Obama haters would give it a rest already. Not that anyone will listen, or respond. Or if they do respond it will be with a yawn or an insult. But I guess I just want to be on record as saying I will vote for either candidate and that I am sick of the insults being hurled back and forth. You know, just in case someone new to DU who actually cares about Democratic/progressive ideals wanders into GD: P and wonders what the fuck is wrong with supposedly progressive people sounding like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. I just want to remind them there are still some sane people around here. I swear.

Okay, so start your mudslinging. Or your "well, he/she started it!" bullshit. Go ahead.

1. Oh yeah!!!!!

Congrats on your milestone!
And you are 100% correct :)

[grace0418]

13. Thanks. I can't believe it.

Boy, I spend too much time here.

2. No mud from me!

Of course, I mostly post in the Lounge.

Posting in GD-P and GD is expensive in time and asbestos clothing. It also means that my ignore list is unmanageably long.

[grace0418]

14. Yeah, I tend to stick to the lounge and just lurk elsewhere.

I can't wait for the primaries to be over. I just hope we haven't hurt the credibility of both candidates so badly by then that McCain can easily beat them both.

3. Awww hell...

I've been saying that same thing, nobody seems to care. It's kinda funny when there is more bile and vitriol heaped upon our candidates here on DU than over at that other place (of course our bile and vitriol is usually better researched, better stated and often funnier). I applaud you for trying, and maybe you will have an impact! :toast:

[grace0418]

15. I care!

I think others do too. We just have to keep saying it. :hi:

4. Thanks for the positive thoughts.

Congrats on your accomplishment. With that many I am sure that you have done your part to raise us up to a higher level. peace, Kim

16. Thanks, I hope so.

Although I know I've made some stupid comments in my day, I hope on the whole I've made positive contributions.

[Marrah_G]

5. Kick! I am so sick of the BS also. They are ruining our community.

[grace0418]

17. I agree.

Thanks for the kick.

6. Hey Man... I Started It !!!

Oh... wait a minute...

:banghead:

[grace0418]

9. Started what?

The snarking or the requests for it to stop? :)

[Eurobabe]

7. I wonder that too re: Progressive Dems sounding like O'Lielly/Limpballs

on another issue this week. The Independence of Kosovo, you would not BELIEVE the shit I read about that on DU. Shame on people!

[grace0418]

10. I haven't seen the posts, but I believe you.

It can't all be trolls, especially when you see folks with thousands of posts writing some of the stuff.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Thanks for trying to inject a little sanity in this place. It's sorely needed.

:hi:

[grace0418]

18. Thanks AG!

All we can do is try, eh? :)

[TheDoorbellRang]

11. If you're not mudslinging, the post drops like a rock

I like to combat that with a lil' ol' K&R whenever I see requests for civility. K&R :-)

[grace0418]

12. Thanks. I'm pretty much used to my threads dropping like a rock.

So thanks for the K&R! You rock!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. You Must Be New Here.

I mean, you actually attempted to post something mature, reasonable and intelligent and stuff. What's your malfunction???

:)

[grace0418]

20. LOL! Sad to say I'm far from new.

I spend way too much time here for someone who goes largely unnoticed.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. LOL

I know you're not new... I was just bein a wiseass :)

And I've noticed you before!!!

Good post by the way...

[grace0418]

22. Thanks!

And I know you're usually a wiseass! :)

I'm glad to see you back around DU again, by the way. Don't know if I said that before.

[grace0418]

23. Wow! No vitriol so far.

I am officially amazed.

[MelissaB]

24. OMG! A post in GDP that I can recommend!

Who would have thunk it? :hi:

[grace0418]

25. Well thank you! I do believe this may be the first time I've ever been on the

Greatest Page. Thank goodness it was for something good. :hi:

[grace0418]

26. Thanks for the recs! It doesn't seem to have slowed the howler monkeys at all.

But maybe if we keep posting threads like this people will start to get that most of us are sick of it.
