Week of March 30, 2008 - April 5, 2008

Let's improve the tone of contentious postings


For the most part, I enjoy reading the posts regarding the Obama/Clinton battle.  I find I learn through the comments and the various links.  I even find comfort in reading posts which match my own opinion. (I'm an Obama supporter.) There is real camaraderie sometimes!  However, lately,  I've felt that reading an entire thread of Clinton vs. Obama. really brings me down.  It's getting to be a negative experience rather than an exhilarating experience.  Is that  happening to anyone else? 

The posts are getting nasty on both sides.  I'm not just talking about the trolls (we should not feed them).  I've read plenty of rude comments and unfortunately, bad language (the "f" word is just plain coarse, in my opinion).  I wince when I read a post by a fellow Obama supporter that is rude. There's a lot of juvenile back and forth arguing. 

It must be because we are all going crazy until this settles.  Perhaps there's not that much new that we can actually post.  Yet people like to keep up the blogging relationships, the routine. So, keep on blogging, but can we improve the tone a little?  We don't want to destroy ourselves, do we?
