6. They Like The Fighting
It seems like there are some that like to start fights. I have a hard time following things over there anyway. I try to stay in the Lounge during the day. I will travel to the other forums at home at night. I don't want to scream at work.

My 3rd post was in the Lounge. I'm here 7 days a week.

27. Yikes! Your first post?
I guess my (what would you call it?) lurker's instinct kept me from posting there for over a year. Of course it's taken nearly two years to get the gumption to talk to others here in the Lounge as it is!

And it's just safer here. :hug:

33. Well! I'm very glad you finally found the gumption ...
Most of the time we're a friendly bunch in the Lounge.
There are flame wars here too but we like to kiss and make up.

13. My thread yesterday about smoking really brought out some nutjobs...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5539492

Myself included, I guess... :crazy:

I had to leave the thread around 100 replies, and it finally died out at just over 300. It had become much less than the rational discussion I had hoped it could be.

::sigh::

I had to just leave and let the crazies slog it out.

At least they seem to have moved on to other things now.

By the way I agree with you. I don't smoke, but my husband does. We just don't go out as much anymore.

16. Been There All Day
There's a couple of disruptors over there, baiting folks, including one moron who thinks he's outclevering DU'ers. He's so transparent as to be laughable. I think he belongs at some other website, but far be it from me to accuse someone when that's against the rules.

25. Well, It's Not All As I Described
There are some good threads, and i've enjoyed sparring with one mental midget over there. I guess that'd be more sadism than masochism, huh?

18. It's like an index of everything inflamatory
Edited on Thu Dec-08-05 04:12 PM by WeRQ4U
Implied Racism, Homeschooling, Hillary, Mental Illness, Air Marshall Shootings, Christmas v. Holiday...etc.

I read ONLY, in fear that whatever I posted would cause a shitstorm.

38. Duh!
Now, i should have figured that out myself. Even though i'm on the internet, and i use a computer every single day for my job (and have for 25+ years), i'm still a bit of a luddite on the tech side. I think of them as a tool! And, i don't have to know how to build a drill to use one!

But, THIS, i should know. Thanks a bunch.

is that the OP is making rational, valid points...but then it all goes to hell. It goes 50 miles PAST hell.

I tend to avoid that place.

Any specifics so I could go take a look?

Thanks. :hi:
