I mostly just read.
When I write, it's because I feel really compelled to say something.
People keep taking this as STFU, it's more just, show some fucking respect in the way you talk to each other, you can disagree without flaming.
There are some people on both sides of this issue that are acting like children, and I'm blown away by the idea that there are even sides to this issue here. I think some people disagree about exactly how to react to the situation, which in itself seems fine to me. I'm lashing out at the pure flaming for flaming's sake, it's just alienating everyone and not doing squat to advance Gay Rights and probably just hurting that movement.
We should be talking about this, just not shredding each other. Talking about Warren does not have to include all kinds of wild name calling and hateful accusations. That doesn't help anyone. It weakens us, it weakens the movement towards the things as Progressives we want to see happen.
I'm tempted to believe there are some long term trolls on here playing both sides trying to keep the ugliest of it going because they know the more they divide us, the most they hurt the changes of us uniting and pushing a strong Progressive agenda. I think there are a lot of people who are just letting their emotions get the best of them and are, without realizing, helping those trolls do their work of dividing us.
