Reply #103: It's not just a few [View All]

They're woven throughout many threads here, day after blinkin' day. Yes, the message may be subliminal, but it's there all right. It's just that too many folks haven't been paying attention. There's a cumulative effect that's probably not noticeable if you're not the one on the receiving end of the venom and/or cruel jokes.

I've had so many battles over this issue lately -- particularly during the Schmidt-Hackett campaign -- that I finally reached my limit and I'm afraid I just got pissed off.

If you don't think there's a problem here, fine, but I'm giving fair warning -- I'm going to have my finger in the alert button because I will no longer tolerate some of the ill-informed and at times downright vicious poor bashing I've found in these fora. The offenders may be few in terms of the vast number of decent and understanding folks here, but ALL Duers must join in rejecting the stereotypes and intolerance.
