Skinner says: threads about "candidate bashing" threads |
|
"are becoming more disruptive than the actual attacks against candidates themselves."
I wholeheartedly agree. Last summer, while I was annoyed over what I perceived to be threads bashing my candidate, I became despairing when threads about those threads started to proliferate. The original threads at least had passion going for them. The latter threads were themselves desperate. Many remarked on a decline in the quality of life at DU. Totally depressing.
A constructive suggestion: May we learn to tolerate each other. Tolerate the whole package of each other, including our diverse passions and our occasional outbursts of anger.
I hope threads about threads about candidate bashing threads aren't even more disruptive. If so, I humbly apologize.

although, the 'my candidate's you-know-what is bigger than *YOUR* candidate's you-know-what' was kinda cute. :0)

2. Ah, but isn't this a "thread about candidate bashing threads?" |
|
Let's review the entire cycle briefly for anyone who just came in, just so we can skip the same 5 posts we always see and get right to the serious fighting:
Post 1: Candidate so-and-so sucks because...
Post 2: No, YOU suck for saying that...
Post 3: PLEASE, can't we all just get along?
Post 4: Yeah, let's all just get along! What a great idea!
Post 5: Sounds good to me, but of course we all WOULD get along just fine if only everyone realized that candidate so-and-so is unelectable...

This is a 'thread about threads about candidate bashing threads'.
I think I might have to start a thread complaining about these sorts of threads sometime soon.
:evilgrin:

"Hey, you two... Let's not start a mini-flame war here." So I left and had lunch in a swank Orange County restaurant...but instead of taking my leftovers in the tinfoil, I wore it on the way out of the resturant so as to not be noticed.
