Truce, or Doom? You decide. W/Poll

Now, I'm as much a lover of bloody internecine conflict as the next blogger/activist/sockpuppet. I read Civil War Weekly like paper was water and my eyes were on fire; try to highlight differences rather than commonalities between members of the same communities; and only rarely resort to polite, reasoned comments when inflammatory name-calling will do.
But, there's a limit. Even for me. More below the trench.
At this point I want to throw my weight behind those calling for a more civil tone here at DKos, while at the same time try to gauge the depth of some of the most flame-tacular sentiments seen here since, oh, the last time it was like this.
Who knows how it'll all play out? Is a truce possible, at blog, campaign, and party levels? Are we in fact all doomed? Or can we instead call a false truce that only masks an irrevocable hatred between candidates' camps forged in the blood of the 2008 primary wars? M'kay?
My hope is that careful analysis of the poll results will indirectly allow me to distort any conclusions they might indicate, and then feed them back to the MSM via this site to further muddy the waters. Thanks for your accomplice-ness-ness.
