Out of every 10 ops I type in the Primaries Forum

[Peacetrain]

I delete 5 of them before I post.. we all get hot under the collar if we feel our candidate of choice is being unfairly attacked.. its human nature.. and trust me, there is some therapeutic benefits of putting it on paper.. but letting it go..

1. That is a good strategy, frankly.

There doesn't seem to be a great deal of affording "benefit-of-the-doubt" and so much of language right now is "loaded".

It feels as though posts are being read, not for the points they make, but whether a case can be made that they, in some way big or small, violate a "rule,"-- particularly if the post favors a candidate the reader does not.

We need to allow for a bit more discussion, IMO and take a breath before condemning.

3. Yep... and when you (well me) get juiced about an op

especially if there is seeming a lot of them..people can misread what someone else types.. because they are reading it through their own fog of emotional commitment to one person.. I am as guilty of that as anyone in here.. so that is why I delete at least half of my ops.. I think I have finally come to the conclusion debates are for the candidates..we are just trying to convince each other of why we think our person of choice is the best.. this is what the caucuses are like in Iowa.. you spend an entire evening trying to convince others of why your candidate is the best..
