on DU about someone I can't stand other than Lieberman. The gist of the comments about my post was that we did not want to lower the tone of discussion on DU to a level such as this.

I called someone in the news a "vile shitass," a term that was popular among kids in the 50's and 60's that meant essentially that someone was childlike or a baby (shitting his pants). It wasn't a Democrat, or a well liked Independant. I agree I should not revert to name calling in place of intelligent discussion but it happens. What is mind-boggling to me is how selective this site can be.
