DU members....Please Stop the Hate!

[liberalnurse]

I am very disenchanted by the undertone of hate and malicious intent in many threads...Discussion and fair play is the way to go. If you can't articulate your message in a civil tone,then go visit another thread, chill and come back when you have your thoughts collected. It is not the freepers either, so that excuse won't fly...

Lets stop it NOW! Respect for ones opinion use to be the norm here....I'd like to see us regain some sense of kinship again.

1. to what posts is this directed?

Where is there hate? I need a compass here . I agree that discussion is the way to go, but recently a lot of discussion has been deleted. I am sure you know what discussions were deleted.

4. This time, another Taser thread

where it's 50/50 on both sides....
There was curing, lies, malicious disregard for established DU'ers....


Titled and Posted in GD:

" From now on, all Republicans and Taser Advocates shall be known as...

StupidMotherfuckers,"

Here is one of the comments to me....

"Hell, why don't you and rush go to the bedroom and play with your taser?"



There have been other thread too. Some I am not involved with or aware. This is just the current hate language. Some of the lies and cursing has been successfully removed. Thank the Mods indeed.

I just want civility returned of days past.

5. Now that you have carried it over to the Lounge,

how is my criticism of a joke or sarcastic comment that was in extremely poor taste considered "hateful"? Indulge me, please.

9. I don't see any hate in the lounge.

Why are you posting this here?

10. I just was being over careful I guess.....

Not sure it it rises to the level of GD since it is a rant about the community. The Lounge sometimes feels like Hallow Ground and felt safe.
