Folks, let's try to take it easy on the Mods today. We know we all have strong feelings about the |
|
Rules Committee and its day in the court of public opinion. We know we are all right and that we are all wrong if we descend into name calling, curt responses, half truths or no truths.
So let's try to keep our tongues civil as we realize that adding to our burdens is not the intent of the rules committee and not the goal of earnest voters in every state.
We have the responsibility to advocate our beliefs as Martin Luther King has done, with grace, with firmness and with fairness.

on top. You said it perfectly, and I think if people read this, we may not need another 20 or 30. This OP says it all.

attention readers by reading this thread you have become part of the discussion kick and recommend this thread this is not optional this is vital keep it on top and help the mods out
the mods have a tough few days coming and anything that will keep pressure from them would be i am sure silently appreciated
we all need to remember that the mods also have candidates in this race some on one side and some on the other they treat us all with respect and the dignity we deserve without regard to their personal choices in the elections this should earn our respect in return
to the mods great work y'all

8. Trying is half the battle. And that's a good start. If even one less person tries to back away from |
|
the table when upset, we'll make a statement that while we are serious, we're civilized. And there are more than a few who are misrepresenting our species on the this board! :)

10. "...try to keep our tongues civil..." |

"Civil Tongues" would be a good name for a rock band.

If so, then good on 'em.
Have a good day, mods, you guys and gals all bust your asses totally on behalf of the public discourse here, and please don't ever doubt that we (or, at least, the overwhelming majority of "we") appreciate all that you do for us here on DU.
THANK YOU!
