the only thing I'm seeing from Sanders supporters at DU is attacking Clinton on issues and record.

That's not disrespect. That's a campaign. I'm sorry that some Clinton supporters perceive all criticism, including fully legitimate criticism, as "disrespect."

I have to respectfully point out, though: that's their problem. Not mine. And, quite frankly, the complaints and scoldings seem a bit disingenuous to me.

I admit that I don't read every thread, but still...if it were that pervasive I'm sure I would have seen it.
