Reply #181: I believe that the war on the SUPPORTERS of both Senators is ugly [View All]

Frankly, as an Obama supporter I have no problem with debating with the Clinton supporters when we stick to the issues facing Democrats, our country and our world. It is when I am called names or treated condescendingly that I get defensive. I have no doubts that most of my fellow DUers, regardless of who they support feel the same way. The ugliness grows out of this lack of respect for each other imo. Much of this is caused by trolls looking to stir shit up but there is no question some of it is being stirred up by disrespectful DUers. A further aspect of this issue stems from DUers with skin far too thin to be hanging out in the GD-P. They might try ghosting through instead in order to see how others roll with the bumps and bruises which everyone gets here.

I'll KnR this thread, not because I agree with the OP but because I feel that the OP is partially right. The UGLINESS is on both sides, I have no doubt that we Obama supporters feel that the majority of that ugliness comes out of the Clinton camp and it is easy to see that the Clinton camp feels that the majority of that ugliness comes out of our camp. The bottom line is that there is ugliness and our fellow DUers with thicker skin are handling it better than our fellow DUers who are not so thick-skinned.
