It's sad that you would lower yourself further by attacking someone for bringing up a legitimate non-partisan issue about the state of this forum. Perhaps in the future you could try to think of something thought provoking and legitimate to add to the conversation.

To make things worse, it seems that we take joy out of the misery of our fellow DP members. Why on earth would you be happy that somebody's candidate is loosing when you haven't mentioned a single real issue in months? It seems that people on this forum have begun to only care about the polls so that they can beat up on the opposing party and taunt them. This election has sucked the intelligence out of this forum and has replaced it with blind partisanship and an embarrassingly large amount of 5th grade bully mentality. This goes for just about everyone. True, we do have our occasional shining stars who choose to use issues instead of insults to win the debates, but these are few and far between these days. I am embarrassed and disgusted with my favorite political stomping grounds. I say shame on both your houses, liberal and conservative alike.

Get back on track. Start talking about issues again. Be civil. Use the brain that's between your ears and not the one on the AM radio. Stop posting polls every single day and hollering about how you knew all along your boy would win and your "enemies" are scared. Grow up. Act like adults. If you don't have an intelligent new way of looking at the issue or a new fact then don't even bother posting. Site your sources. Stop making things up and then getting upset when people call you out on it. Don't post something that you wouldn't say in front of your grandmother. And most of all, check your blind partisanship at the door. We aren't toddlers here, we are adults. Look at the top right hand corner of your screen, we only have one rule: CIVILITY IS A MUST.

aps, and this is not directed at you, but at the essence of your comment, if more people actually did what Indy is suggesting, it might work. I'd be nice if people read this and did not dismiss it.
