At least some of them get it

I've been pretty hard on the Democratic Underground, but after several months of stopping by I've finally seen a post that makes me think not all of them are wearing Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanies. Really as hard as it is to believe Az's post It's the civility stupid speaks volumes for anyone trying to get a point across, no matter what side of the isle you're on.

A majority of the people that replied, I can't since I've been black listed, were reasonable. There were of course the ones that said they should be civil towards each other when posting in the DU, but the only way to get a point across to some(in otherwords Conservatives) was to flame them, but a majority were reasonable.

Maybe some of the folks on the far left and hopefully some on the far right are starting to realize that they've been pushing the extremes for way too long. Really how much more can those of us that aren't on the edge tolerate from the vocal minorities?
