I have started about 6 snarky posts today but have restrained myself.
Can I have 1 get out of lock free?

1. Self restraint is hardly a prerequisite of posting GD-P.
What are you worried about? Starting a fight? :eyes:

3. I just don't want to be on everyone's ignore list after the convention!
:)


But seriously, why add more heat when what we need is more light?

BTW - what happened to welcoming newbies? I discovered DU myself back in 2004 when I was looking fro primary results during my 2AM breaks. It makes sense to me that a lot of new folks are finding us now and that some of them are very opinionated.

5. I've actually written several posts today that I then re-read and decided to not
click "Post message." It's a knee-jerk reaction to stupidity but I'm glad when I have the control to not lower to their level and encourage more stupidity. Wish I had that control at all times, LOL.
