Some of them (not all) act like they are sore losers, like the Republicans have been acting since the election. Thank God that this is DU, and we know they're Democrats.

We have the patience to wait for them to understand that constructive criticism, not unhelpful snark, is welcome and helpful, IMHO.

Truth of intention, replies to posts that are thought out to answer rather than distract, polite discussions for and against--these things are productive. These things are helpful.
