So today is the day everyone screams and yells at each other. OK, then.

Tomorrow, the hangover silent treatment ensues, allowing people simmer as they ponder some thoughtful speeches, before we fully remember that we're on the same side on Wednesday and Thursday, and celebrate together before getting the big work done, again, together, in the coming months, right?

That's how this works.

Right?

Right!

I would appreciate it if you didn't use stigmatizing terms like "insane" to disparage people with whom you disagree.

Thank you!

Heaven forbid someone have an opinion of their own.

Then again, I've been called worse by fellow Democrats...

I just get particularly cranky about terms that foment further stigma.

Take care.
