I've been a member of Daily Kos, in good standing, for many years now. I'm mostly a lurker. Today, my nerves are frayed and I don't know why, but certainly elements in the Kos community are really annoying me and it's happening on both sides of an issue.
The issue isn't important (it's guns), but what I hate is that I have to wade through some stupid cat fight on diaries I'm otherwise interested in just to get to the meaningful comments. I don't care how many ways you can insult each other back and forth. I don't want to read it.
What annoys me is that in order to avoid the entire conversation, I pretty much have to skip through every comment in the thread. It would be nice to have a mechanism - maybe a "double arrow" that would close up/hide the entire thread and move on to the next one.
There. I said it and now I feel better. I'm sorry if you wasted your time reading my vent!
