Posted at 12:14pm on Sep. 30, 2007 Gentlemen, I'm BEGGING you for a ceasefire!

By janis

I come to RedState to see reasoned discourse, to learn by the blogs and comments of others, to play verbal hijinks with some of the best, and to take a break from a hectic and often stressful life. Here lately, however, I am finding more stress and chaos in my visits to RedState than I can appreciate.

I know, I know, when you're having a bad day and feeling mean, it's a lot of fun to throw some raw meat out there and see which slavering carnivores show up to fight over it, but, really, guys, can we take a break just EVERY now and then? Maybe one week on and one week off--just for the sake of those of us who have other ways of coping with bad days and bad moods?
