Resign from the Club

Today, Sen. Barack Obama took a step to move the dialogue in America past cartoon-like "takes" and into a substantive conversation. Sen. Clinton's initial response was supportive and constructive. I would be pleased to hear Sen. Clinton speak to her concerns and views of gender issues in a similar manner in a venue she finds appropriate. The only thing better would be for supporters on both sides to focus on the issues again and call a cease fire to back-and-forth accusations and smack talk. Each side may feel that the other started the mud fight but the important thing is to stop slinging it. Is there any real need for people to post comments that are nothing more than insults, expressions of outrage and disgust, and wishing ill upon the opposing candidate's extended family? Even if someone on the other side keeps on doing it, do you really need to pay them back in kind? Why not resign from the Hater's Club?
