4. Why are you being so mean and negative? I said I was being EXHORTATIVE, not didactic.

I'm gonna sit here and look on the bright side of life. You might try it sometime.

I just got home from delivering twenty four--count 'em--twenty four vo-tahs to the polls, and I feel damn good about it. I'm waiting to hear back from two more, and if they found another ride, I'm done for the day.

I'm not going to let your scolding and negativity harsh my happy mood.

How many butts did you deliver to the voting booths?

Mean? merrily Sep 2014 #5

You have a nice day. nt MADem Sep 2014 #6

You were the one who dissed me, or is accusing someone of being "so mean and merrily Sep 2014 #9

I wasn't even TALKING to you. You jumped into a happy thread and got shirty and negative. MADem Sep 2014 #10

Not talking to me? You posted an OP, ffs. merrily Sep 2014 #11

I posted a happy OP exhorting people to get out to vote. You replied by getting vicious and snarky MADem Sep 2014 #12

Exhorting us to vote was unnecessary. My reply was neither vicious or snarky. merrily Sep 2014 #13

What names? I have no idea what your issue is. Your reply was both vicious AND snarky. MADem Sep 2014 #14

Sorry, I edited my post, changing "names" to "personal insults." merrily Sep 2014 #15

What "personal insults?" MADem Sep 2014 #16

The posts speak for themselves. merrily Sep 2014 #17

Who's bragging? I'm just pointing out a fact. MADem Sep 2014 #18

Naw, you were bragging before I even posted. merrily Sep 2014 #19

No, I wasn't. Interesting that you want to see it that way, though. MADem Sep 2014 #20

Not half as interesting as the way you see my posts. merrily Sep 2014 #21

I appreciate your OP, and I DID VOTE! sketchy Sep 2014 #22

I was kind of surprised at how good the turn-out was for a primary! I think the weather helped, too MADem Sep 2014 #23
