As a community, DU members are hurting. [View all]

[Stinky The Clown]

The hurt manifests differently for each of us.

Some of us are silent.

Some of us are unplugged

Some of us are rage posting

Some of us are asking desperate questions

Some of us are knocking the Party

Some us are knocking pundits

And so much more

But some of us are knocking each other.



All of that is likely cathartic.

Except for the last.

We come here as a community. None of us expect to be ridiculed or told we're wrong, particularly by smug, self righteous, well meaning, mean spirited, sympathetic, empathetic, fellow travelers.

Now would be a really great time to bite tongues when disagreeing with a post. Let things go.

Now would be a really great time for verbal hugs - given and received.

Yes, I was sitting in front of a mirror when I wrote this.

I wish you peace and a good night.
