Reply #29: and why should we be excluded from this

camaraderie in the DU general population by crude rude bigots?

I'm all for killing em with kindness, ignoring when necessary, standing up to bullies and educating/learning from those who know how to communicate with -- there's that word again-- RESPECT.

DUer claps his comrades on the back:

"We've been battling for 2 days now over The Compromise. I think it stinks. Many agree. Others think it was the right thing to do. Many agree.
Each side lays out cogent arguments to back their positions. Some argue with passion, others with reserve. Some ask to look at history, some ask to look at politics.
I do not trust a Republican promise as far as I can throw one, but others argue that efforts to thwart the promise will be swift and sure.
The sides are convincing, the give and take well reasoned, heartfelt, and honest. And because of it, I learn. Each time I lay out a premise, cocksure that I have the got'cha, I am reminded of the brilliance that is this place, as someone takes me to task, forcing me to think along new lines or re-enforce old ones.
I honestly can't think of a better place to play political baseball.
Take a bow, ya bastards. You deserve it."

Or maybe women and cool men aren't "cocksure," don't want to "play baseball" and don't think of themselves as "bastards."

Oh well..
