(47,803 posts)You said something I responded to viscerally, whether intended to me or not. Also I strongly disagreed with your premise.
Emotions got overheated, making calm discussion about it difficult.
We're ultimately on the same side, even if we don't see eye to eye on this point. So let's just agree to disagree on that and move on.
As for the other post you referred to. I'm not on DU 24/7. I check in and out irregularly, and only read a fraction of the threads....and of those I only comment on a tiny fraction of the posts.
And frankly, I think it goes with the DU (and Internet) territory that whatever one posts has a chance of eliciting responses that are negative or that cause offense to someone or another....... Heck, I've often found that even when I post something here I think is totally innocuous and inoffensive -- including non-political tidbits -- it will generate that.
