Many times, It is NOT what a person says..but HOW they say it...DU flareups |
|
At the risk of being PC to the extreme.. Let me try pouring some oil on turbulent waters here in the DU.
How we frame a post, thread, agreement, disagreement is going to predict the response.
Example:
Two people want to disagree with something I have posted, they write the identical post.. word for word.
One prefixes it with.. Hey Bitch..
The other prefixes it with ..Hey Girl..
Both are referencing I am female.. but one is going to get a thoughtful response even if I disagree.. and the other has just took on an all out war with me.
Likewise it can be applied to people we support.
This applies to all sides of any debate..

1. DU wouldn't be DU without snark and sarcasm. |
|
But these days snark and sarcasm is yielding to outright rudeness.

2. Yep.. too much juice directed at DU members and not policy debate disagreements |

Thar mama didn't teach them enough manners. And some people wonder why the worlds such a mean and hard place to live in. Give'em a working mirror and tell'em, "Lookie in there, theres the cause!"
