and it has escalated. And because person a (supporter of x) said "blahblahblah" against candidate y and persons who support y... then person b feels completely - self-righteously even - that it is fair to be as (or more) obnoxious in a posting against candidate x and/or supporters of candidate x. Reading poster b's post... five supporters of candidate y get outraged... and feeling self-righteously correct give a body slam to all supporters of candidate x. Reading those five supporters body slams... eight supporters of candidate x get outraged and feel completely vindicated to ... and so on and so on and so on.

It isn't just the obnoxiousness. It is the self-righteous and snotty attitudes that bad behavior is completely justified and SHOULD be engaged in regardless that it only escalates and feeds into the attrocious... even toxic... atmosphere in this forum.

Have yet to see a group that has not engaged in this behavior (while fewer in the DK camp do this... they to do it from time to time.)... okay I take that back - didn't see it from MoselyBraun, Lieberman, Sharpton or Gephardt supporters - but they were never here in great mass to begin with.
