If you find yourself uncomfortable

[Peacetrain]

when opinions get posted that are running 180 degrees counter to what you have been professing..

Just breathe.. you may be wrong, you may be right.. but be sure you are using good backup to your positions..because otherwise, you will find yourself going down a rabbit hole.

Just saying..

1. I would add to that.. Try to stay civil FFS!

And I'm not refering to subtle sarcasm.

Insults, name calling and ridicule may be amusing when you're the inflicter, but its counterproductive.


Cheers.

6. Actually, i havent had any posts hidden lately.

And don't plan on. All this Syrian conflict has caused some to behave extreamly uncalled for.
But anyway, blurnorthwest, you are 3 hidden posts away from me. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=211998.
I was trying to calm nerves, but you sure can see that. Continue your personal attacks, you're doing beautifully so far.

Sorry I'm not on your side anymore.

5. And ...

And "heard it on Rush" isn't good backup!

7. Yah, what is up with all these OPs who link to RW media or RW blogs?

Its disgusting.

10. Lots of trolls here.

The more transparent ones get a quick pizza, but they've evolved a bit (even though they don't believe in the concept).

[Peacetrain]

11. I don't know about trolls

But I see people digging themselves into deep trenches with flimsier and flimsier backup postings.

And the bad thing about that.. is a person can lose credibility.. and what if their points are good ones..

Never good to let your ego get too caught up in the posts or ops.
