It's no longer possible to politely express an opinion without getting troll-rated and personally insulted.
Discourse has been worsening for the last month or so but it has really gone off the rails in the last week. Site admins, you are losing your site. Conversation is not functional, and I'm quite certain is doing more harm than good if the goal is to elect Democratic candidates.
There are still some good diaries getting posted, of course, especially by the front-pagers although not just by them. But you folks need to either police the site much more vigorously or just cut the comments function off.
This ain't working.
