it was far more than few. Too bad this place has rules against it (like almost everything else), or I'd post names; such a list would have at least 25 entries, and that would be off the top of my head. And of course, that's just the sheer number; the insane, over-the-top nature of some of the 'jerks' was beyond belief. Inventing insane conspiracy theories; posting links to equally nutty conspiracy theories every hour, every day for weeks on end; arrogantly proclaiming that 'ignorant Clarkie newbies' weren't welcome here; promising to rub it in to no end once Dean won the nomination, which was inevitable; attacking every candidate who wasn't Dean; proclaiming themselves the real Democrats and the rest of us fakes; attacking people as 'Republicans' who found Dean obnoxious and weak, and many of his supporters living in Fantasyland -- Dean supporters, as a group (and there were plenty of exceptions) turned this place into what it's become today.

While I agree with the original poster that there's nothing really practical to be gained by rubbing salt in, there are a few people left (many of the most egregious fuckheads disappeared when Dean collapsed in Iowa -- what a shock) who need a lesson in common sense and decency. A little salt can go a long way towards teaching that lesson.
