Reply #32: I think both the mean-ness and moral certitude

[hfojvt]

have been here from the beginning. I have periodically had to remind DUers of our various battles. Perhaps now the battles are permanent, without a respite or an M$M cause (it used to seem like we would pick up on the issue du jour that was being pushed by the M$M whether it was MJ or Anna Nicole Smith or Henry Louis Gates or another war in Israel and a battle would flare up over that until we finally lost interest. Although we also had a fairly big battle over a Snickers ad and that was never an M$M issue.) I think those battles have often gotten nasty, and many people here probably have lists of enemies in their head. Like, "oh, there's that jerk hfojvt again" or Cali or Debbierlus or whoever. The longer people are here probably the more people they remember and divide into either "decent people and friends" or "enemies and a-holes".
