I'm a long-time lurker and part of what I imagine to be the quiet majority of Kossacks, in that I'm mostly here for the front page. I'm just more average than you guys, less tapped in, but I still care about progressivism, good governance, and social justice.
Anyway, I read this diary today burning up the front page, mostly b/c I'd already read Krugman. And then I looked into the comments. And I felt dismay, disgust and depression.
I'm calling on you to make a specific pledge right here to recommit to civility, whatever side of the Obama Debate you're on. Details below fold.
