Amen, some of these posters make the DU look like a place for reasoned discussion.
However, I do suspect that many of these people are "trolls" that are posting over the top comments, just to cause dissent. A classic sabotage technique by spreading gossip, innuendo and engaging in personal attacks.
They don't care/believe what they post, their primary goal is to get a flame war going.
Because of this crap, I don't post much anymore, I really wish people on both sides would be more reasonable.
“Because of this crap, I don’t post much anymore...”
I’ve been reading FR since 2004, and don’t ever recall seeing your handle before.
Classic.
