nationally. Having noticed so many stalkers/trolls jumping into your threads and those of other progressives with attempted deflections criticizing "you" (whoever wrote the OP), I had the clever idea of putting the word "you" in my trash file. Alas, that throws out some babies along with a lot of bathwater-- had to undo it in order to reply to this thread because the OP included that word. But I think 3/4 of the times people bring the word "you" into a thread, it's content free snark derailing the discussion from the topic at hand. Or at least trying to-- but the number of recs you keep getting shows that few of us are distracted by the detractors!
