Poll question: Flamewar Poll
Depending on my week, I sometimes REALLY enjoy the back and forth banter/berating/bullshit that occurs in this big tent. There is a wealth of intelligence here on DU that is pretty much unequaled in a chat-friendly environment. The opposing biases and ingrained cultural influences are magnificently demonstrated in very active fashion, as we try to one-up each other or stuff our "correct" version of the truth down the other's throat. But mostly, we adamantly express our frustrations at the fucking insanity we are subjected to on a daily basis. I salute you all, and am glad to be a part of this active forum.

Blah, blah, blah... where the f@#k is the poll?

Flamewars are entertaining as all get-out.

7. None of the above. I prefer
exchanges of info, analysis and opportunities for activism.

Attacks tend to provoke more of the same, which can turn into a cycle consuming huge amounts of energy.

28. Other.
I think they are pointless, as they diminish thoughtful debate, but I don't think you're a loser.
