What happened? It suddenly got (more) civil here?
At least it does seem that way at 7am....

Maybe I'm just too tired to notice....

1. A few well-timed smack-downs, plus a 'wakeup call'.
After what happened here last night, I think the vast majority of us were taken aback to see what REAL disruption looks like, and came to our senses regarding opur own possible contribution to disruption here in the past.

My $.02.

6. i have no idea
it took so long to load anything up i stayed away. but from some of the posts i could read seems thare were some nasty things being said.also the adm. said that people were taking advantage of the forum because of its tech problems . about 12 or so will pitt decided he had enough and started telling people to knock it off-he was drinking -if you get my drift, he`s going to have a hang-over.... i think it`s getting out of hand this crap about my canidate is better than yours so i`m goingto be an ass about it. i thought bush was the problem but to some around here he is not it`s other du`ers canidates..
now lets see how long it takes for this to load

3. Padraig...
I want to thank you for not participating in yesterday's fiasco.

It would've surprised me greatly if you did. I wasn't at all surprised by the people who participated.

5. I would have been shoulder-to-shoulder with you, Dookus.
Ass hat behavior is ass hat behavior, no matter which 'camp' the supporters belong to.

:hi:

10. I REALLY hate the word "ass hat"
It's nothing personal. It's not anything anyone should be yelled at. It's one of those personal things (like "metrosexual" - having sex with DC subway trains)

I know it's a fark word, and I know fark is overrun with right wingers... I guess that's where the negative vibes come from.

7. ???????
I was at a Kucinch meeting in another town last night and was too tired to check in by the time I got home. Sounds like something I am glad to have missed but would love it if someone would fill us in. Just curious, you know, like looking at the car wreck.

11. Well, I think in general the rioting has settled down....
maybe I'm the only one who thinks so? At least in the rooms where I hang out, just the usual suspects...

But what the hell, us DU democrats are a pretty passionate bunch....
