It's a freakin' message board, people
It's not a matter of life and death, and if your identity is so wrapped up in what people think of your posts or if you stalk someone to unrecommend their posts, then you need to find a more constructive use of your time and your life.

How about concentrating on the merit and depth of your posts? If you truly have something to say, people will listen and be touched. In any case, you can only control how you act and the words you type. Focus on that and screw the rest.

And with that, I'm going out to enjoy a brief spot of sunshine.

3. Well said.
All you can do is state your thoughts and beliefs. To assume others should listen is a bit arrogant, you do your part by making a statement, not by people hearing it.

8. I certainly agree with the part about posters who delude themselves about their role here.
It is a message board, and those who take pride in their threads are kind of silly.

11. I'm thinking of taking bets on how long the fuss will go on.
Longer than the Jackson news will dominate tv news?
or
Longer than Palin was Gov?

25. No, it's a link resource.
Latest Breaking News is not the source of the news or information, it is a clearing house for other sources.

14. Yeah, they can take their lies elsewhere, because no one here is recommending lies.

I also think DU may have stopped the presses on the spin. I'll tell you, at times this place felt like the spin was coming off a conveyor belt somewhere where they manufactured the spin.

21. And here, kids, is an example of an attempt to use it in a passive aggressive manner in the wild.

Usually there are 8 or 9 of those going.
