Because people responded to my first comment. Check the thread. Everyone but you was having a conversation, but there you were on and on about "the OP doesn't have any of that..." when, clearly it did. Clearly, there were those interested in responding and adding to what I had to say.
And you want to talk about going against DU rules? How about the Klan remark? Yeah, that's civil discourse. What really disturbs me is that you honestly believe in the rosy pink bloom of your perfection, when *you* stirred up trouble and were then wholly unable to take any in return. How about trying to tell other people when and where to talk about a subject? As you if *you* are the arbiter of what does or doesn't merit discussion. That's just not the way this party handles things. We talk about them instead of trying to shut people down.
And, by the way, should you need them, I have a series of suggestions about what you can do with that thumb.
