Hello fellow patriot DU brothers and sisters. Please forgive me but I had a really long goddamn day and need to rant quickly about something that I consider to be a problem on DU far too often. The following message is for anyone who needs to think about it. I will keep the message short:
IF YOU ARE GOING TO REPLY TO A THREAD, PLEASE READ THE WHOLE FRIGGIN OP FIRST! PLEASE!
All the time I see replies that are so short sighted to what the OP's intent was, which causes them to be completely unrelated or off the mark to what a reply to the OP should've actually been. This many times can cause flamewars and misunderstandings that could've been avoided completely just by reading the damn OP fully and taking a second to ponder it.
Why the rant? Because this thread below made me cry when I read it. Then I saw 2 replies in there that made it seem they didn't read the OP at all. I am touched by this thread, so in this instance it really struck a nerve.
