and I wouldn't want to see the group devolve that way, either. However, we have had other venting/complaint threads before, and once out of the system, things died down and it was forgotten.

The other thing I see going on here is that we're helping each other work out how to deal with the less than pleasant DUers with whom some of us choose to interact.

We're still a pretty "tame" group and I don't think we'll ever turn into something like the Religion group. Too many of our members here care what happens to our group.
