I visited another board and was very surprised to see a lot of Dean suppor

supporters talking unkindly about Kerry. At first I was astonished. I then thought about it and decided "well I guess it's o.k. before the primaries are finished. (We have not had primaries yet in my state)

I can't quite figure out what it is, but there is something not right there. We all know Gov. Dean is 100% for the Democratic Party - NOT a third party and would not sanction any of his supporters putting other Democrats down. But, on the other hand, people do have a right to dissent.

If this keeps up after/when the primaries FINALLY come to an end, it will definitely be wrong and the good doctor would not be pleased with misplaced devotion.

1. You're probably going to get this locked

if you're talking about the forum I think you are. Every other thread about that forum has resulted in mega-flame wars; a lot of people there also post here (resentfully, more often than not), and come over here to brawl...and then people from here go over there to brawl, etc. Skinner finally had to put a moratorium on it.

Bitterness has no half-life, it seems...over there, anyway.

2. I certainly did not mean to start a flame war and by all means lock it....

I was just truly surprised about this.

3. You're not the only one

I have no locking power, so I can't. All I'm saying is don't be surprised when.

4. it's a minority , don't worry too much about it

one interesting thing to remember is when dean said he was going to stop campaigning there was a poll done and most dean first people said they would vote for kerry if dean drops out. people on boards posting on political things tend to not always represent everyone. this can be seen with the large number of dean, clark, and kucinich supporters on du as compared to kerry and edwards.
