this forum because I knew that many of the "usual suspects" would use it as an opportunity to take a piss all over it - just as they did when it was posted later in another forum. Thanks for responding!

I am now at the point that I have so many people on "Ignore" that I actually forget who they are. Unfortunately, I keep seeing their posts on the Home page, which is one feature of DU that is unfortunate, IMO. Occasionally I even "Like" an OP that is about an issue other than the Dem primaries. And then I remember ... LOL.

I sincerely hope once the primaries are over - or even before - that I can "un-Ignore" some long-time DUers who seem to have temporarily lost their minds in their passion for their candidate.

I certainly can understand why they feel strongly and the other candidates are great ones. Ours is just a better one, all-round, IMHO. I can understand differences in issues, stands, preferences, or emphases. But what I can't understand - or forgive right now - is the need for anyone on DU to use GOPer sneers, snark, smears, or conspiracy theories against ANY Dem in this VERY important election.
