Of course, every sane person knows that....;)


Seriously, though....good tips.
Sometimes I have helped push a totally negative with high amounts of stupid into the silly/surreal, and not taking it all so seriously. Others use that technique too - the lounge raids are a big help on occasion. (That is, the Lounge folk are silly by nature, and occassionally come to GDP to lighten up the place.)

It is also incumbent upon us to be gracious when possible, give an honest compliment to good posts/posters when deserved, regardless of their candidate choice, and otherwise let folks know that we are not enemies, just allies doing that messy "democracy" stuff.

Agree that it is worth the effort.:hi:
