It seems to happen a lot on DU lately. Everyone seems too touchy... looking for problems.

My "enemies" are Republicans, teabaggers, and other assorted haters... not DU members.
If someone on DU disagrees with my point of view, or an opinion I'm not going to call them names or cast asparagus.

For me personally..... if you want to change my mind about some topic or issue, acting ugly is not the way to persuade.
