Look, the petty attacks are coming from a select few Obama/Hillary supporters.
And it's really not fair to clump ALL Obama or Hillary supporters into one group. Frankly, I think it's absurd to suggest this mud-slinging is only coming from Obama supporters, since yesterday it was Pile on Barack Day. It sucks there are supporters of each candidate who feel the need to drag each candidate down at every chance they get instead of building their own candidate up. But it happens and it's disingenuous to suggest it's only coming from the Obama camp.

1. DU is a pretty peaceful place for me now that I've put about 40
troublemakers on Ignore.

And the good threads with rational discussions never seem to have posts from these 40 anyway. All they do is make trouble. They aren't contributing to the discourse.

13. Downloadable/shared ignore lists would be another handy DU feature
Could save everyone a lot of painstaking one-by-one additions.

Sort of like having the latest virus definitions.

2. There you go talking sense again.

It's all about the ignore button. I only have 12 people on ignore, and it's nice and peaceful. ;)

4. Ask us Edwards supporters.
We were stalked all through the campaign by DU's Obama supporters.

Not disingenuous. True.

5. Just put 2 or 3 on ignore from both sides and you eliminate 95% of the crap.
And still get to discuss issues and strategy with all the good posters on all sides. :)

They may be loud, but they are the minority. Most DU posters are sensible; they are just drowned out by the Obama/Hillary bots that are posting every 5 seconds.
