I left to take a break from here primarily due to the vitroil in combination with misplaced anger

[mmonk]

I have to deal with logging in this place now due to the meme concerning Sanders and his supporters. When I take breaks from here, I work on clearing my head, any anger I may have, taking big breaths and do this. Then I thought others might need this too, so I thought I would share it. Now I'm back off to the break, Enjoy

[Scootaloo]

1. I'm like this close...

To being like "Fuck it. I'm on team Chaffee!" just 'cause it's quiet over there and I feel kind of sorry for the guy.

I cook with metric, so it'll work out i'm sure!

[marble falls]

18. I'd like to see Chaffee in the Senate.

[beam me up scottie]

2. I walked away today.

Came back after a long ride with a clear head and a new perspective.

Whatever works, do it. Just don't give in.

[marble falls]

3. Its seems like the Hillary Clinton supporters are beginning to tone it down and it makes for....

a quiet and gentler DU.

[Evergreen Emerald]

5. I am sorry, but this is a load of crap

How is that for anger management? The ugly constant posts about Clinton are the cause of the vitriol. It is not a gentler DU. It is an UGLY DU that constantly attacks a progressive liberal in an attempt to build up a mediocre candidate.

Just because we stopped replying to the ugly, does not make DU "gentle."

[stevenleser]

9. Exactly. "Would you please stop responding to my attacking your candidate by attacking mine!?!?"

22. lol

I may have to take a 2 hour break myself.

[stevenleser]

24. It's so silly. One of my favorite old time urban sayings. Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'.

Don't start something and then be surprised when it starts something.

[Adrahil]

29. I haven't insulted anyone here, or any candidate...

... yet I've been told either directly or indirectly that I'm:

a DINO
in a Cult of Personality
an idiot
a "third-wayer"
and even "right wing"

Oh yeah, and it's OK to call my candidate a whore. And I'm too "sensitive" if I think the use of that term is misogynistic.


I can tell you that from my perspective, things are not as you see them. I'm willing to admit point of view has a lot to do with it, but I will not concede that HRC supporters somehow started it.

[stevenleser]

31. I wasn't referring to Hillary supporters. nt

[Adrahil]

32. cheers! nt

[marble falls]

17. Have you looked into De-caffinated? How do you stand on Hillary Clinton's policies on.....

fracking, Keystone, TPP, the war in Afghanistan........?

Has she even ever given her views unambiguously on these issues? Because if she has maybe you would like to stop the nasty little epithelial personal attacks on Bernie Sanders and discuss issues: does Hillary Clinton represent your views on fracking, Keystone, TPP, the war in Afghanistan........?

[Evergreen Emerald]

27. And, you have proved my point.

Have a nice evening.

[marble falls]

30. That you as a Clinton supporter speak nastily to anyone you disagree with and like.....

your candidate can't respond directly to questions on your political positions?

Where do you and your candidate stand on Keystone, fracking, TPP, Afghanistan? Because I can make a very specific declarative statement how I stand on these issues and quote where Bernie Sanders stands in very clear and simple English and all with no insults or nastiness.

I can tell you that I will actively support Hillary Clinton with contributions, lawn sign, bumper sticker, and my vote if Bernie Sanders doesn't get the convention. Can you tell me that you will support Bernie Sanders with even just your vote if Hillary Clinton doesn't get the nod?

[JaneyVee]

8. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

It ain't the Hillary supporters bringing the vitriol. Try again.

[Fumesucker]

4. I used to be disgusted now I try to be amused -Elvis Costello

Good advice in general I've found.

[mmonk]

28. Definitely.

Life's too short.

[NCTraveler]

6. I must have missed something.

Didn't we have a discussion here yesterday? And the day before? I think I am missing something.

[mmonk]

10. Hi. Yes we did. I enjoyed it immensely.

I do this for myself every once in awhile. I'm not angry at anyone. I'm safe in my own skin so to speak. I just thought while I peruse the site while waiting for a funeral and saw the same volume of personal attacks between the factions here, I thought I would share. In case anyone from any side or no side could use it. It's good therapy. It brings a sort of humor to the whole thing. I suffer from depression and I find a little humor can go a long way. Thanks for asking.

[NCTraveler]

11. A little humor can go a long way.

A little more can change a life. I hope you have some big smiles today.

[mmonk]

12. You too.

[Autumn]

7. We are all pretty

Oh so pretty

[Prism]

13. Naw, this place isn't worth getting angry about

Just go for a bike ride!

[mmonk]

14. Mine has a motor. Is that ok?

[Prism]

15. As long as it isn't a motorized hand scooter

I saw someone going uphill on one last night and immediately called out, "That's cheating!"

Very quietly.

To myself.

After he was very far away.

[mmonk]

16. LOL. Ok.

[marble falls]

19. Just for you:

[mmonk]

20. Love Arlo.

Thanks a million.

Another smile for me you have gifted.

[marble falls]

21. Me, too. My favorite nephew is named 'Tommy Arlo Smith'. Good kid and now a good man....

when I still rode I'd find myself singing that song.

[mmonk]

23. Now I'll be singing it too.

[mmonk]

25. Off to the funeral. See ya in a few days.

[Trajan]

26. +1,000,000 ....

I have maintained my sanity thanks to my ample ignore list ... One month ago, it had 3 names ..

You wanna lie about a candidate? .. GONE!

You wanna insult your fellow DUers for the most trifling cause? ... Fuck it, you are GONE!

Yeah ... That list has had a lot of action ... looking down thread, it's gonna get more ...

Peace and love ...
