how many replys do you start then trash at GD politics or GD

[jdots]

I trash about 60%

1. I trash most of them

not worth the hassle.

Occasionally, I allow myself one remark.

The most bland one I can come up with.

2. Only a few...

... but usually because someone else has already made the major point, or it's just not worth pursuing.

But, then, I like healthy arguments. :P

4. Tonight there was a real gem of a thread in GD politics

about three words into a reply and said fuck it
the thread was about how threads are too long and the person didn't have time to deal with it......Ha ha ha ha

7. Ah, well...

... attention deficit disorder is a serious problem....

I'll be the first to admit that the 300-response threads are a problem because I'm on dial-up, but that's my problem, not that of the people who post.

Actually, I only have a problem with those who are incapable of distinguishing between opinion and fact. :) There seem to be a fair number of those around lately.

Cheers.

3. I just started a response to the "Freebies because you're a woman" thread

but trashed it. I would have been pegged by the mods for what I wanted to say.

5. sure seems like some people want to get flamed

I can't flame people here.DU is too good a place to turn it into a net macho pissing contest.

8. I agree.

6. 75 percent of them..

I hate idealogical/partisan hypocrisy, and GD and GD-P are knee-deep in threads like it, and it drives me insane. Since the "Gannon" story broke I've probably made as many posts there in 2 days then I've made in the last 4-5 months, so I guess the percentage has gone down a bit..

9. ~25%

My impulse control is pretty good, but sometimes I catch myself being snarky or just repeating points that have already been made.

10. About 50%

I don't post in there as often as I did before the election. Now sometimes I just feel "it's not worth the hassle" and then I trash my reply.
