Can we save the ego for our political opponents?

[chillspike]

Any chance some of us can tone down the competitive tone when debating fellow Lefty's here? Ego and aggressive posturing is supposed to be the error the Righty's consistently fall into, not us.

1. Nope, none at all.

DU requires think skin.

2. I have thick skin from the myspace political forums

i just think we should show some more unity.

3. A new meme. Praise Jeebus.

Debate and disagreement is now ego and competitiveness. Who knew??

Unity does not mean uniformity.

Don't ask me to keep in step because it's hard enough to stay in line.

4. This would be a silent forum indeed without the competiveness.

It's mostly good-natured and it can make one think.

5. It's Not the Debate, It's the Personal Attacks

Alert button is your friend. Don't be afraid to use it!

6. So soon and you're already trying to fix DU?

Good luck on that.
