Put me on your "ignored" list too.


I voted for Obama myself. I think he's intelligent, witty, caring, and as honest as anyone could be. I think he's trying his best to do what's right under some very difficult circumstances.

It does disturb me to see people bashing him here on DU, but you know, I have a choice. I can use the "hide thread" option instead of sitting here playing Judge, Prosecutor, and Jury over someone else's opinion and demanding that threads I don't like, or don't agree with, should be censored.

This ain't Freeperville. Over there, they'd censor anything in a flash that doesn't fall into lockstep with the Republican dogma. I'm actually kind of proud of the fact that this place isn't full of Stepford Democrats, but I guess not everyone can handle differences in opinion.


Before you put me on your "ignore" list, though, I'd like to hope you'll consider a couple of things:

1. Figure out why it disturbs you so much to see a guy you voted for being raked over the coals by people you'll probably NEVER meet in RL.

2. Ask yourself if, for example, during the Primaries, all the Hillary supporters had succeeded in getting Obama supporters' posts censored...or vice versa. Would that have been fair?


So whatever...please add me to your "ignore" list along with the others who didn't even say anything rude or nasty to you, and whose only "crimes" were that they disagreed.

Yippeee!

Democracy at work.



PS...edited to add that I'm going out to the main board to exercise my "hide thread" finger.

see ya!
