1. Say "HEY ________ YOU'RE A PRICK"
Unless it's me...in which case just PM me and we'll clear it up ;-)

I was saddened to finally resort to putting my first fellow DUer on ignore yesterday, but I find I'm a lot less annoyed not having to witness their self-righteous obnoxious drivel today! :D

3. Turn the other cheek and respect his right to an opinion.
The Dems will never benefit from infighting.

Just say "I respect your right to an opinion, although I do not agree with it. This is what democracy is about."

5. If That Attitude Results in Rule Violations.......
....use the "Alert" button to let the moderators know about it.

7. Call him/her a douchebag, a total bastard, a fuckwit, a toadhumper
a bag of pus, a shmuck, a twit, a ninny, a clown, a boob, a twerp, a goombah, a mook.

Or ignore them. Bad atitudes are fairly common around here. :)

13. Why is it necessary to confront anyone?
Bad attitude or not, keep it to the ideas, and don't make it personal. Argue points, not people.

Bad attitudes tend to get themselves ostracized.

15. That's certainly true. It doesn't take long
for them to go too far and cross a line they should have stayed away from. I think the mods do a pretty good job of keeping people like that in check.
