Does anyone notice how nice everyone is being at the caucuses?

I often wonder if people here would be as uncivil in real-life as they sometimes are here, from behind an anonymous keyboard? Your thoughts?

1. Anonymity

allows people to let themselves become more agitated and get more vicious.

Face to face is a whole 'nother ballgame. People have only gotten mildly flustered..

2. They are on national TV.. that tends to make people nicer.

3. Iowans are almost universally nice folks. I've spent a fair amount of tim

of time there. Will Rogers may have as well. :D

4. I agree.

I grew up there, until I was 16. :)

5. Iowans ARE nice people...

right next to Minnesota nice. Don't let it fool you. You are either on their list or you are not . They just hide it better.

6. People are pretty nice at the DU too.

Where several weeks ago there were only arguments about this or that candidate, I walk into a thread and people are congratulating/comforting one another. Sure beats what I expected.
