I'm appealing to Kos and the front pagers. Yeah, those leaders. It'll probably do as much good as appealing to those other leaders in D.C. (Reed and Pelosi) but . . .
hey . . .
consider this
My Strongly Worded Letter
Dear Leaders,
Please clean up this mess.
The candidate diaries are out of control. Not only are they proliferating at a rate that is forcing good content into the corners and costing us good will, but they have become breeding grounds for the vilest language and allegations.
Prominent persons coming and attempting to post on the site are met with such vitriol and hostility that any actual opportunity for dialog is lost.
I believe that these diaries are harming the community, the Democratic party, and the progressive movement. While not confined to Daily Kos, of course, the partisanship here has taken a decidedly ugly and abusive turn.
Digby suspended comments at her site, writing "The comment threads have become a problem. Some people have forgotten they are interacting with fellow human beings. So we're going to take a little break. They'll be back in a while."
It's time for a time-out on DKos. Childish behavior deserves a parental response.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Prodigal
