[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am half assuming that someone will post something mean in response to my post.  Please resist the urge.  Just for Memorial Day? [/quote]

The problem with DCUM is it's frequented by very smart and witty people whose smarts and wit are often laced with snark and cutting humor because, well, that's who they (we) are.  They (we) also have strong opinions, and being D.C., most of us are former debate champions, law review editors, or the like.  Yes, it would be nice if they (we) could check ourselves more often.  But it's hard denying who we are.  And, it's also liberating to truly let loose every once in a while.[/quote]

Hm. I'm a former debate champion and have a couple of degrees and yet I don't think it's necessary to be cutting or mean. I love and appreciate a good debate but that's different from the rude for no reason folks, who just don't seem to get it. I don't think that's a sign of "smarts" in any way. [/quote]

This, a thousand times this. There are some DCUMers who are truly "smart and witty" and use language accordingly. Then there are some bottom feeders who confuse "smart and funny" with 4-letter words and smack-downs. [/quote]
