Fine, I'll stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, but not to say my points on this don't stand. GT is really at its worst when it becomes a big bullfight. I needn't run off the community, but I think I'll take it easy on this section of it and go do some game-related things here for once!

Also, Neal: see, that's EXACTLY what I mean. Using the "but the dems did it first" excuse to act like that. That's exactly what I was saying - sure, I'll be the first to enthusiastically agree that a lot of leftists are a real bunch of whiners and snap uncontrollably when provoked. But is that really an excuse to act just as bad? That's very immature and, in my eyes, even worse than just acting like that due to being upset.

In the end, I think the problem is that I hate sore losers. That's why tonight I far preferred McCain's speech and was really annoyed at the boo-ers in the crowd. He was really gracious and if nothing else, he took defeat with honour and broke out not into partisan cliches but into a real unifying rhetoric, which is what I value most when it comes to places as polarized politically as the US. Now I wish his followers took the hint, seriously.

In any case, I do want a couple days' break. All this has given me a headache.
