Reply #57: My "tooting your own horn" remark had nothing to do with that post.

Just so you know, it's what I pretty much always see you doing on here, while putting down everybody else, painting with a broad brush, and making assumptions about what other people, whom you know nothing about, are or are not doing. IOW, your posts seem to pretty much contain the strong suggestion that if another poster isn't named Julie Nelson, they "prolly haven't done shit". You were insinuating such in your earlier posts, which is why the poster described what she had been doing and tried to give you a little taste of your own medicine.

You don't actually know that people you encounter online aren't just as active as you (who also may be encountered online) are in the "Real World", but you certainly do a lot of presuming. You also seem to make a special presumption about Clark supporters which you don't make about anyone else (and there are plenty of other "supporters" online, just check out the Kerry forum). Maybe you still have some issues left over from the primaries. If so, I genuinely hope that you can move past them.

Once again, I admire the work that you're doing and that you are so active, but I worry that you may be engaging in some behaviors that could be counterproductive to your efforts. Rightly or wrongly, most people don't really care to hear someone talking about how great they are, while speaking snidely and dismissively of others. Just something about how social graces work.

I'm glad we were able to have this little discussion and hope it was fruitful, but I have to go now since I've just started nursing school and need to study. I know it's not Saving the World(tm), but I hope to be able to do some good anyhow.

Cheers.
