As someone sagely observed, we have people reacting instead of thinking.
When their abject lack of logic is pointed out, they tend to focus on the petty--i.e., the fact that I used language they dislike--instead of the substantial--namely, that they're acting like the craziest and most deranged posters on DU.
Oh 'cmon. Do we always have to use the DU tag every time somebody disagrees? It's like a five yr old calling someone poopy pants....
