There are a lot of intense feelings going around the left-wing blogosphere. There are a lot of people feeling let down, or threatened, or afraid by the Democratic response to Judge Roberts’s nomination. People are attacking Dean, attacking Kerry, attacking the DLC, attacking our Congressional leaders, and attacking other bloggers. This is all understandable. Just remember:
Not everyone is as smart as you. Not everyone one is as well informed as you. Not everyone writes as well as you.
And I don’t care how dumb, ignorant, and illiterate you are, there is someone, somewhere who is more so.
So, when it comes to having disagreements and debates and discussions…this is the rule:
Don’t be a prick.
Passion is good. Disrespect is bad.
