Reply #65: For the record, this wasn't anything positive about Obama. [View All]

It was negative about the naysayers. Not the same thing.

And while I agree with what you say about them, I'm not in the habit of rec'ing negatives about DUers. Even the ones who suck.

Though this week has certainly challenged that habit.... In fact, I did something I have never done before. I started putting people on ignore. Even in the worst of the primary battles I did not do that.

But this week's ignores are only partially because I am sick and tired of their non-stop debbie-downerisms. It was also an experiment. I am not going to keep track of posters to see if they ever post anything pro-Obama or pro-Democratic. But by putting them on ignore, I could see if they ever post in the pro-threads.

And sure enough, we had Reagan economic advisors admitting they were wrong make DU's front-page for almost a whole day. And there were almost no Ignore posts in that thread. Further, it was clear from replies to most of that handful that they were posting anti-Obama/Democrat stuff even there.
