43. Nope, no steam. Sorry to disappoint.
You sure have thin skin, if that's what you think. Or you get excessively "upset" at any conversations that aren't all about agreement and consensus.

You are mistaken again, too in your second sentence assertion. I have absolutely no problem with people who "aren't in lock step to (my) liking."

But these ARE the 'internets.' And this isn't church, where one person preaches and everyone else says "AMEN."

Look, this place is a DISCUSSION BOARD. Not a "Pat on the Back" board. Not a "Let's all agree" board. What takes place here is DISCUSSION. Debate. ARGUMENTS. That's what this place is about. Not "Happy, Happy, Glad, Glad" and "Oh, POOR you!" everytime someone whines.

If someone throws down, and you don't buy it, you COMMENT. See, that's the IDEA behind this place--discussion, not lockstep, mindless approval and nurturing of BS concepts. Especially when crap is being thrown, and when it's dramatic crap that is insulting to the entire party leadership before it settles on one candidate, it's deserving of a forceful retort.
