18. It's a mistake to take

A certain poster’s bad behavior and blame or have bad feelings about the forum over it. It’s an emotional issue so it’s hard to handle. I know of other posters who have left for the same reason. At least I got a goodbye pm from them. But you have to look at the overall “flavor” of the forum and not let the not so civil ruin a good thing.

It’s an opinion forum so you’re going to have differences. Democrats are a big tent, and there certainly democrats who are jerks. That’s what the ignore function is all about.

I suppose, though, if you combine this with some tough astrological aspects, it could happen to any of us.

One last thought is that I think she only posted from a cell phone. Cell phones are not the best tool for advanced linguistic engagement (unless you’re a master of the one liner like Jeff Tiedrich). If she was engaged in an issues war, she was at a disadvantage.
