(19,926 posts)I see a lot of people in complete agreement on this thread who are some of the rudest posters I've seen on here. A lot of them throw out a snarky line that has nothing to do with an issue and then follow it up with that infamous smiley. Perhaps you should cross post this in a particular group that is on DU. You know the one I mean. Because seriously, members of that group are among the most rude and dismissive people I've ever encountered on here, particularly because they aren't even making a point, they're just posting empty retorts. At least if someone is rude and making a point there is some sort of discussion of the issues going on.
I'm really not trying to start anything here, but we all know members of that group are your buddies, so I hope you mean to direct this at them as well, and even clarify that to be sure they understand, because when someone that is a vocal member of a clique here on DU expresses a sentiment such as this without acknowledging one's own participation or that of their clique it comes off as just a lecture to those others with whom you have disagreements. And due to that I cannot in good faith rec this thread.
