Regarding our voting process, more specifically speaking on how the debates are carried in the DASH community, I'd like to take the liberty of asking all of you (I do not feel confortable to say such things, but I feel it's necessary): Let's not take things personal. Let's always put our focus in what is the best for the community.
The most important thing for DASH, when it comes to its governance, is that each person here be free to bring their own opinion to the debates on the subjects submitted, and of course, to be free to cast their own votes, according to their clear understanding of things.
That's all, that's great.
Other voters, eventually in doubt, undecided, will have the duty of reading pro and con arguments and finally decide.
There's just one important thing I want to suggest the community: abandon unfruitful trolling attacks like ad hominem or ad nauseam.
Lately, I have seen some posters using a lot these tactics. That is dishonest and disloyal to the community. It spams and makes it harder for anyone to achieve an ideal flow of ideas. And, as if this weren't enough, such behaviour unnecessarily creates an awful environment for everyone here, as we have witnessed recently.
It's naive (or malicious) to believe that by insisting and posting again and again the same opinion will make others change their mind. Also, insulting and exchange of accusations are of no help as well.
Excuse me for asking it, but let's be civil, respect and give support to each other, please. We are a family here. Imagine when the real trolls arrive here, with the sole objective of sabotage and harm... how are we to defend ourselves, if we are unable to trust each other? (united we are strong, divided we are weak)
Remember that the best part is: We are creating DASH politics... isn't it exciting?

Your statement isn't inflammatory at all. This European elitist attitude portraying Americans as savages is a very unhealthy mindset. It's a group think cliche cheap stereotype. A superior unwarranted attitude. Lots of Europeans do nothing but to blindly regurgitate these cultural stereotypes in a monkey see monkey do fashion. It's a very conformist attitude (I'm a European btw).
