This is only a test.

It's very sad that like-minded people are unable to have a decent conversation without the conversation escalating to immediate anger or insults.

I recently tried to have a conversation with a user here on DU. I was very surprised that she was communicating with emogees rather than actual words or discussion. Her position was coming from a supposed sense of superiority, yet she had nothing tangible to say to me. Only emogees. I felt compelled to block her. She is the only person that I've blocked.

I found it very displeasing to have to block a person that was supposed to hold the same values that I do. A Democrat.

Are we so separated from one another that we can't at least speak to one another?

It amazes me what we have become.
