In reply to the discussion: Bernie Who? Hillary Steams Ahead on Endorsements-->NO enthusiam fade in Dem Party [View all]GitRDun
(1,846 posts)Does snark (logic's stupid cousin) from a Hillary supporter really give us license to rhetorically "shoot" or snark at any pro-Hillary or anti-Bernie post we don't like. How does that help Bernie?
I jumped in and started posting / responding in kind, when I saw the way bravenak was treated. Despite not always being on the same side of the argument as she was, I respected her passion and authenticity. Responding in kind felt like defending, the right thing to do. Now I'm not so sure anymore. bravenak is gone, followed by others..the shooting just continues. I became part of the problem....just another shooter.
Do what you will, it's a free country, but this board is what we all make it. I think, after trying it the way you suggest, it's better to just ignore the snark...the snark-ers are the one's who look like fools.
