187. I believe in holding everyone at DU to the same standard...

Mar 2015

I don't care who they are or who hates who. If I'm on a jury for a personal attack on another DUer I'm going to vote to hide. I don't like pile-ons and the name calling and shit I've been seeing and my vote on juries is my way of saying they suck. And even in this thread I'm seeing different standards being applied when it comes to personal attacks on people they do like vs personal attacks on people they don't like. If calling another DUer names is 'mocking' them and entertaining, then they should be the last folk to pop up in other threads complaining because they see themselves and those they like as victims of name-calling, alert-stalking and attacks.

And when it comes to 'sides', hasn't it occurred to any of you that yr all on the same side? I think there's some DUers who really lose sight of what is the opposition and they're the ones that need to go visit Discussionist to remind themselves of what every longterm DUer here is on the same side against. Sorry, that was a general observation about what I've been seeing
