4. I think you are right but......

I just saw a pig fly by, and a pink elephant rang the doorbell. I could be wrong.

6. I have had several very pleasant conversations with Clinton supporters here today

seemed to be more humor - more collegiality here

[Shakespeare]

7. What (who) did I miss????

I've been otherwise occupied for the last four days--feels like YEARS in the GDP time equivalent!

[grantcart]

12. there are a couple threads saying some folks were thinking of taking

a break and then coming back inforce a little later on. But I am being sincere - people are very pleasant today

[Blue-Jay]

2. Was someone shown the door?

[grantcart]

20. no a group took a vacation and are planning to storm back

[Blue-Jay]

23. Oh.

I guess that's supposed to mean something, then?

DU is weird sometimes.

[grantcart]

27. there were several threads about it you can find them - caused threads to lock yesterday

[Blue-Jay]

28. I think I saw a few of those. I just don't really care.

A "strike"? That's funny.

[LakeSamish706]

3. Could be threads like the one below that are helping the situation...

Certainly can't be hurting thats for certain.

[azmouse]

5. I think an effort is being made to be more civil by some but...

who knows if it will catch on.

Keep hope alive!

37. How cool would it be

if the tantrum-throwers came back and were told to STFU by people on both sides?

It could happen. a week of semi-friendly posts could change things quite a bit.

[grantcart]

38. lol one of the disrupter - I think she is somebody's daughter would regularly

say STFU when she obviously lost an argument

I found out that I was on an nearly 1000-member ignore list the other day. Hardly an "elite" group, but now I'm paranoid.
