"Not This Time!", "Let It Sink!", etc. Thank you everyone for helping me to "step away from the conversation". Have been trying (often without success) to do that on my own, but am glad we now have our own one-step program to recovery. I pledge to only post in serious issue threads or to support someone trying to elevate the discourse on DU. I'm working on my 1 day button.

Won't recount the list of folks that take great joy at being on some "Top Ten" list to be ignored, but it seems that their singular joy is to bait someone into a back-and-forth exchange with inane responses that only serve to keep their divisive OPs kicked. The members of this "Upright Citizens Brigade" live to alert in the hopes of getting their targets so riled up they can get someone TS'd. They are more interested in carving notches on their belts than in having an honest discussion of the issues our country faces.

Edited to change title.

Groupthink can be a positive thing.

It's never too soon to start the healing process, don't you think?

7. Thanks, to be honest, the best I've seen are started by others. Some brilliant minds around here.
