(135,425 posts)I've been at DU quite a while, and in my entire time here, I've never been called so many PERSONAL insults as I've received this last couple of months--one of these days, I should compile them all! Just the other day, I was accused of being a burier of bodies on the battlefield AND a keyboard warrior! By the same person! And I think there just may have been a reference to my being a manager of a house of prostitution, as well...
All because I haven't 'received' and 'accepted' the word of Saint Bernard.
I'll tell ya; I have learned something about people who are interested in politics in my old age. Not all people who call themselves liberal are terribly tolerant of views that diverge from their own. I think it's pretty doggone funny-sad, to learn this. I always thought we were universally better. Now I'm finding out some of us just support their team, and don't mind using opposition low-blow tactics to "win" (and by "win" I mean Charlie Sheen "winning"--not actual winning...!). I don't see where they get the idea that mocking and deriding someone personally, then high-fiving amongst themselves, is the smart strategy. Makes no darn sense!
