Who will pledge with me to stay out of the DU mud? [View All]

This has become a very divided place, and it seems like no thread, however well intended, can go for long without someone contributing a snide, smearing comment. I don't think this is helping anybody. You win minds not by insulting people, but by appealing to their finer instincts.

I am an Obama supporter, but I think Edwards and Clinton have their finer points, too. And all three have negatives, like any human being does. Pretending otherwise is just lying to yourself.

Supporters of all three candidates have posted bogus, inflammatory attacks on this board as well. Fortunately the worst comments seem to come from only a few members, but it's hard not to get angry and respond negatively when someone posts something that is clearly flame-bait.

Who will put their name in this thread and pledge along with me to think twice before posting, and try to bring up the level of civility on this board at least to where it was before all this started? We can truly do better. I ask this not as a supporter of my candidate, but as a DEMOCRAT.
