Is it me? or has the tone here at GD-P gotten nicer

[NJmaverick]

It seems to me there is less venom and nastiness this week, than the past few weeks.

[rucky]

1. Wait 15 minutes. n/t

[jakem]

3. you would say that, you fucker.

;)

:hug:

[rucky]

7. How DARE you!!!11!1!eleven1!

[Kittycat]

14. I crack up everytime I see how far the !!11!! has gone.

The other day I logged in and saw a post with a reponse titled...

Are you SERIES!!!11!!two,three!11!

And I about spewed tea all over my monitor :spray:

[phrigndumass]

15. Are you a monitor hater? Why, I oughta ...

Go spew your tea somewhere else! You're not a real dem, you're a tea spewer!

Or something like that ...

:rofl:

[progdog]

5. I think it's nicer but I have about

80 people on my ignore list.

[rucky]

9. haven't used that yet.

been tempted, but it's kind of like doing a crossword puzzle in pencil.

[Adelante]

2. It got nicer for me

Once I packed my Ignore folder. So you would know better than I would.

[LisaM]

4. I noticed it, too.

I wonder if the "monster" comment was a wake up call for some? MY SO is an Obama supporter (I am Hillary) and he is not online at all. I kept trying to tell him the tone of the boards, and the level of name calling (as I see it, particularly against Hillary supporters). He didn't believe me till Samantha Powers made that comment. Now he does.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

6. No!

[Arkansas Granny]

8. I have noticed some improvement over the last few days.

[Fresh_Start]

10. we're turned on Spitzer....don't worry we'll come back to attack the others

sooner than we ought to

[anigbrowl]

11. It's you. I still hate everything.

Everything, dammit!!

[Catherine Vincent]

12. It's you.

GD-P is still nasty.

[Pathwalker]

13. No. I'm not even a "REAL Democrat", even though I'be been

a registered Democrat all my adult life and have voted Democratic in every election since 1968 - I was accused of that today. Apparently, I also need to leave this board because some male - not me - once said THEY wouldn't vote for the nominee, even though I've never once said that. But, depending on who you support, you may agree that "anyone who doesn't support YOUR choice isn't a REAL Democrat". Or that everyone who doesn't support your nominee needs to leave DU - NOW!

Otherwise. No.

[leftynyc]

20. I've been called a fake myself

a few times in the last 6 weeks. But I can see you took it as seriously as I did which was not at all.

[npincus]

16. it's you!

:rofl:

[emilyg]

17. Wait till the night crew gets here.

[NJmaverick]

23. Are the night people really that bad?

Are they like vampires and werewolves?

[walldude]

18. Late at night things start to get weird

I had the day off yesterday and hung out here periodically during the day and night. About midnight the posts started to get weird.

[leftynyc]

19. How many people on your ignore list? n/t

[NJmaverick]

22. I never used the ignore list

I never felt the need to.

[leftynyc]

28. Then you have a much

stronger stomach than I do. I wish I didn't feel the need to do it.

[NJmaverick]

32. I have gone head to head with freepers and right wingnuts

The worst person here, isn't nearly as bad as the best of them.

[leftynyc]

35. That's true enough

I put people on ignore who don't seem to have any interest in dialogue. They have their talking points and no reason will sway them. When I feel it has become pointless to engage, I simply disengage.

[Iktomiwicasa]

21. Seems less contentious...

...I took a break for the last 10 days or so from this place just because it was so ugly on both sides.

[Vinca]

24. Quite frankly, the bickering is getting more boring by the day.

The same old hit jobs by the same posters over and over and over and over again. Both sides are guilty. I ought to go and try to locate a life.

[PurityOfEssence]

27. Indignation is hard to sustain

The dangerous flip-side to this is that exuberance is too...

[rug]

25. The loudmouths are out setting cats on fire.

[backscatter712]

26. The mods broke out the ban-hammer, perhaps? n/t

[Johnny__Motown]

29. Fewer and Fewer Clinton supporters every day.

[jazzjunkysue]

34. The supporters aren't the problem. The pit bulls are the problem.

I have no problem with people stating plainly why they like her. The idea of a woman pres. sounds good at first. But don't come in here with bumper sticker platitudes and expect that people won't tell you why she hasn't lived up to them in the past. Because she hasn't.

[HooptieWagon]

30. Yea, mods dropped the granite chicklet on a couple hillbots and trolls.

[TexasLady]

31. I say..

give it, as of this hour..one hour and fifteen minutes to ass whoopin' showdown time.
:rofl:

[jazzjunkysue]

33. Shut up!

Ok. I just had to. Of course I don't mean it. But you can't set me up like that!
:hug:

[quantass]

36. Refresh your Browser window.

[Perry Logan]

37. Simple physics. It was impossible for the tone to get any nastier.
