there are a lot of upset people here
If you are too upset and you cant control yourself, please log off and do something else for the rest of the night.

If you are not upset, dont pour salt in the wounds of those who are. You are just making things worse.

You dont want to be banned from here and you dont want to get others banned from here.

Use some common sense people and try to be understanding.

1. Thanks for the reminder...Like the one from Ari Fleischer in 2001
Edited on Thu Sep-28-06 07:54 PM by jackstraw45
Like the one from Ari Fleischer in 2001 - "reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do."

Obviously, that warning is alive and well tonight.

13. "You dont want to be banned from here ..."
In MY America, you don't get banned, shunned, arrested, etc for expressing an opinion.

FREEDOM is being mourned here.

Not directed at you....but the state we're in, literally and otherwise
Your POST, not you, is just a sad reminder of the times we live in.

I understand your intent to chill folks out but these are NOT times to be chill - things have gone a bit too far in this country for that.

People NEED to be able to vent somewhere - if not at DU, where?

33. Do you REALLY think that comparison would stand to scrutiny?
We have quite a few 'wounded' and 'distressed' soldiers for DEMOCRACY and the CONSTITUTION here.

Your comparison is not 'apples and oranges' it is 'apples and the Aurora Borealis'.

2. We don't have that luxery any longer
To sit back and hope that everything goes back to normal.

Yes, many of us are so angry and older enough to know that we are just repeating the mistakes of past history. It is hard to just log off and hope that tomorrow the sun will come out.

I am so mad tonight, but I am trying to hold my tongue and fingers.

14. I understand what you are saying
But so many of us have no one else who understands the ramifications of what today means.

I hope that the moderators and my fellow posters will forgive any of us who cross the line tonight. It is truly in the heat of the moment. Lurkers needs to know that what has gone down tonight was a turning point in American history or the end of American history.

Thank you for the talk down it is truly appreciated.

3. And then again, common sense just doesn't work with some people.
In fact, they call one a tramp when one tries to reason with them. :hi: :toast:

4. "Upset?" I'm incandescent with fucking anger, here
But I feel this is safe space where I can share my frustrations with fellow DUers. This is my on-line family.

20. Hear Hear!
Good advice. Time to take a hot bath and relax, which I what I want to do a little later.

Tomorrow is another day, and politics is eternal. No sense getting uberstressed.

Even warriors take rest before a battle to be at their best form.

Edited on Thu Sep-28-06 08:09 PM by LSK
And it was a dumb deal.

I didnt call him a torture lover.

I dont call the mods torture lovers.

I dont make posts saying screw democrats forever.

I dont provoke people who do the above.

Do I look out of control to you?

Good conversation is online is worth my time, arguing isn't.

32. I'm verrrry upset... this is my first post in 6 or so hours
hell, it's the 1st time I've looked at DU in 6+/- hours.....


I'm glad I missed whatever you are refering to. I have a tendancy to crawl inside my shell to grieve then gather strength.

I am now feeling STRONG and ready - for whatever lies ahead.
