I don't have any problem with a difference of opinion. I don't like being called names. I have my views and others are welcome to theirs--I can even discuss them civilly if anyone would like, as I have with people who don't behave boorishly, in this very thread.
I find MM divisive--I can't forgive him for not backing Gore. A lot of people died in Iraq and the Stan who would be home with their families had Gore taken the job he earned. If you like the guy, more power to you. I don't see him as anyone who can convince people who are otherwise unconvinced to adopt his course of action. His talent is in riling up the already - converted.
Welcome to DU, and no, it's rarely like this. This is quite unusual, actually. It sometimes gets a bit quirky around elections, but generally it's pretty collegial.
