Has Anybody Besides Me Done An Alert On A Texas-Bashing Post Lately?
I alerted on a really flagrant one today, and to put it as tactfully as possible, the jury response was not exactly gratifying. Just thought you ought to know.....

Who would have guessed. 
You are very wise!
Welcome to the Texas DU forum where we treat people with respect!
We both know that the majority mix of people on DU really don't have a problem with Texas bashing. We essentially have a jury of your peers in the same sense that African Americans couldn't get a fair trial with and all white jury.
It's going to take decades to make progress. And the idiot Rick Perry national run didn't do us any favors.
If you want to keep your sanity, you need to toughen your skin even more and prepare to make a stronger case on the alerts that are very, very reasoned. You have to be a Clarence Darrow and fight the case of your life. Every time too. It won't be easy, it will be time consuming and you still may not win. But you'll keep your sanity because you keep trying to fight for what is right. I think that's what I see in your heart and soul. You are a fighter.
The other alternative - is that you take the Matrix blue pill and slip into the "blissful ignorance of illusion". That's sort of my choice. I came to my personal conclusion a long time ago. My time on DU is limited and in order for me to stay sane in the real world, I just had to find a corner that wasn't going to make me angrier in my real life. Just don't need the aggravation of the above ground mentality.
It'a a personal choice based on how much energy and dedication you feel you have to give to this corner of the Interweb world.
Either way, no one is going to judge you here in the Texas DU forum.
