Could somebody please explain what all the goings-on in GD is all about?

[bbernardini]

Seems like there's some kind of big ol' dust-up tonight, and I can't quite seem to follow it. Could somebody give me the "Idiot's Guide" version, please?

1. one of the monkeys threw shit at one of the other monkeys.

now all the monkeys are throwing shit at each other as fast as they can poop it out.

2. I was wondering the same.

It looks like someone got TS'ed but I can't figure out who or why.

I love a good soap opera.

3. It has something to do with longtime DU'er Joe for Clark

not sure specifically what the problem was, but apparently he's been put on suspension for a week and people are expressing mixed reactions of support and derision.

5. I didn't see what happened tonight...

...but about 5 days ago, he kept posting separate threads, asking the mods why they kept locking his threads. So, they'd lock the thread and give him the reason, and he's post another thread, calling out the mods, demanding to know why that thread got locked.

I don't know what the original outrage was about.

7. Well, at least

he didn't pull a Walt Starr.

:rofl:

10. ? I'm not familiar with what Walt Starr pulled.

A groin muscle?

Was it his own?

Seriously, how did he leave?

11. An all-time DU classic

Be sure to read Skinner's reply. :rofl:

12. Oh, yeah. I remember that. I couldn't remember the name.

Hilarious. Short, sweet, to the point.

8. I think the guy needs help

Some of his posts don't seem to make a lot of sense, but he pours a lot of pain into them.

I hope he finds what he needs.

There also seemed to be a lot of acrimony about a member/some members posting that KKKarl was "gay". I don't know in what sense this was meant, but it would have been an extremely ill-conceived notion in any event.

9. I don't want to speak ill of a suspended DU'er

But, yes, I do hope he gets some help, some counseling. And I hope he gets his son back safely.

4. I think it's just the usual pile of righteous indignation meets extreme

sexual frustration. It's blow over.

6. for some reason when I read this OP the Dallas theme started playing in my head

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

it's like some TV Drama...there are the JR's and the Sue Ellens and the Bobby's and Pam's...I always feel like I'm watching a tv show when I go in there. Happy to be a spectator but relieved as hell not to be a Ewing. :shrug:
