Reply #32: I find it sad

[salin]

and indicative of how high anger and frustration has grown in the past four years that I have been here. Peoples' frustration spike and in a fit of political anger cross lines ... as we move towards primaries, general midterm elections - and then towards another presidential campaign - I am certain we will see more and more folks implode per their DU membership. I don't find it particularly funny. I get mocking the whole "Swan Song/Good bye" DU threads. This, however, is different. Agree or not with this or other posters who have gone this way, what strikes me as sad is bigger than DU - it is a relic of the deep fear and anger felt over the direction of this country and the powerlessness we have in doing much about it - and as a result more hyperbolic rhetoric gets fuelled and stoked and eventually self-defeats (in terms of going over the line leading to leaving DU.)

just my two cents.
