Atmosphere of Hate Building on JU
We all need to step back, take a deep breath and move on...

Wow, I mean... WOW...
We've reached a level of hatred and animosity that I think surpasses even what we had during the elections last fall. It seems like the past few days have been completely dominated by spite and venom filled posts where everyone is attacking everyone else. From my own article on JU Libs, to the rash of responses to Myrrs Sad Conservatives article, the anger and animosity is just building and building. It seems like little else is being discussed here at the moment, we're all either too busy tossing insults at one another, or hiding under a rock until the whole thing blows over.
I think we've reached a point where we all need to sit down and think about what we're doing here. If all we're doing is posting inflamatory articles meant to piss off people who oppose our views, or if we're just out to flat-out insult others, maybe it's time to take a break. We're all starting to take this place a tad bit too seriously.
I'm no angel, I've been slugging it out the past few days like a bunch of others, but I'm at least willing to admit my error. I'm shifting my focus here on JU for the near future... I'm moving back to writing about life, technology, humor... the lighter things in life and am going to let the politics and religion articles go. There's little point since the conservatives will always hate the liberals, the liberals will always hate the conservatives and no one is going to be convinced of anything they don't already believe in. Trying to argue about it just makes everyone mad.
It's back to blogging for fun for me... I suggest everyone else gives it a shot too!
