I am totally repulsed by people saying they're totally repulsed with DU, today.

I feel an electric charge in the air after Obama's speech last night. A unity amongst Dems and here at DU, and a renewed galvanization to action.

I feel a great drawing together in a defining moment in history. So I just don't get the ones saying they're "repulsed by DU", whatever the nitpicking and totally overplayed pretexts.

er. just my opinion tho' :evilgrin:

1. Some people have class and know decorum, some people don't...

Frankly I think the ones who don't simply don't belong here, but that's just me.

2. I get it. You think you are the arbiter of decorum. Or wish you were.

Some people know when a smell is of a dead fish, some people don't...

5. Yep, a cross between Emily Post and Josef Stalin

3. Maybe it's better they get spanked in here a little.

Might make them better people IRL?:shrug:

Some of it is really lowlife though, and does reflect poorly on DU IMO.

4. Frankly I think many of them are probably better people in real life...

The web gives them anonymity, which means they can act like assholes without fearing normal social repercussions. I just wish their real life decorum would translate to the web.

6. We live in hope my friend.

You make a great point. I think this election cycle has just brought a little more to the surface. I'm looking forward to December.

7. Hey, I have just as much decorum in real life as I do in here...

however, I'm a karaoke DJ and can drink on the job.
