many of us did NOT rec that thread. Can you never resist the urge to point fingers at the Obama Group? Is it an obsession of yours or what? And you had the gall to speak of unity while doing this??

I don't appreciate it one bit. Another thing - some people in that thread revved it only after someone started a "list" of those who did so they could call them names later on. And funny thing, many people wouldn't have even seen the other thread if you hadn't started this one.

Great job you did for DU unity there.
