I can't even read down on the comments anymore! It's all so damn bitchy...

Here I am cruising around on my beloved DU to get my NEWZ and I click on something interesting but no... I can't even read down comments anymore because it is all negative garbage. Bash, bash whoever they are against. No discourse anymore. Snark, No sanity.

So, what do I do?

I just read the OP and move on. None of the comments anymore because most of it is beginning to look like troll convention. Because a lot of us are adults behaving badly!

Can we all just take a collective CHILL PILL and stop turning into what we HATE? AKA: Crazed Zealots!?

Ok, thanks for letting me vent!

I had to trash GD & GD primaries for my sanity. Sometimes it's just too much negative energy for me. You can always still choose to visit forums you trash but at least it's not glaring you in the face every time you check in.

I also trash many threads and keywords as well. It's been a healthy change for me...

What I have seen is the arguments are optics, a fake accent(I don't think it's fake), something about broken windows(which is a very bad mischaracterization, and some other hair on fire stuff that doesn't pan out to be true on closer examination.
