I give up - I'm staying in the Lounge

[MaineDem]

No more of the GD2004 for me! Nosireebob. I'm too old to put up with crap. Some people try but others don't have a clue.

So instead I'll stay here and read about yaks and underpants and matcom's ass!

I miss the UGRR, too.

1. It's nicer here, for a number of reasons.

1. Juice and cookies at 3:00 every afternoon.
2. Upholstered chairs.
3. We have our own thermostat.
4. The new Concert Hall sound system. (Thanks, elad)
5. No weapons allowed.
6. If you make somebody cry, you have to apologize and sit with them and hold their hand for 15 minutes.

I could go on and on.

2. I know what you mean.

I have to come back to the lounge after visiting the "mean place" so I can feel better.

10. I really, really like the separate farting room, and the Acid Fridays

we have here.

18. Cookies???

Damn, I haven't had cookies. (At least not the electronic kind.) Now I'm going to pout.

But the music system is definitely first rate!

3. You mean there are other places?

4. I've been posting in GD2004 for ONE day

And already I've been called a sockpuppet, or well, I THINK that's what the poster was implying. :shrug:

5. I'm sorry to hear that :(

Glad you aren't giving up on the place because of that one incident. :)

11. Welcome to DU Belladonna... it is a weird time here, everyone

is at eachother's throats over the primaries.
It is usually much calmer.

[belladonna]

16. Oh, they don't scare me over there

I've lurked for awhile and knew full well what I was getting into when I posted. After the flame wars of the past few weeks, I feel I got off EASY!!

Oh, and thanks for the welcome! I have a feeling I'll be in GD2004 a lot in the next few weeks, so I'll look forward to using the Lounge as a warm, happy place to hang when I just can't take anymore! :D

6. Do this.

When you're in there and they start giving you crap, say something like "You should see the Private Message being circulated about you." or "That's nothing compared to what others are saying about you and your candidate.", and then no matter how many times they try and get you to answer, don't. It's fun.

15. LOL!

How tempting! :evilgrin:

7. Breaking: Matcom's ass appointed Dean campaign manager

GOTCHA! :evilgrin:

[citizen snips]

8. I like the flame wars.

I will stay in GD2004.

9. i hear you! i've only gone into GD2004 once since it was created to read

awhile and i knew i would never go back....ya need an iron stomach

[WWW]

12. Me too

I had a thread moved there from the lounge the other day and I am getting so many nasty emails. Also I posted over there with the opening line" I don't post much outside the lounge" and more than one person told me to go back the lounge...

[tigereye]

13. I just run in and then run out

If you try to pick your topic carefully, it doesn't seem quite so dangerous. Hate the namecalling. It's much nicer here. Do loungers have a bad rep over there?

[WWW]

14. apparently so...I really

feel that if you don't have others behind when you post on a thread, (I feel they rally before they post) and God forbid, you have an avatar, stating your preference, you are dead in the water....I love Dean too....but Jeez...I was bullied by Bush, I ain't going to be bullied by anyone else!

[belladonna]

17. The Kerry stuff over there last night was unreal

My original plan was to wait until the primaries were over to venture in there, but I just couldn't take the bashing anymore and had to jump in. Not sure why I did, because now I realize that I never DID get that answer I was looking for from the original poster. :shrug:

[MaineDem]

19. Thanks everyone.

I know the GD forum (appropriate name, no?) requires thick skin and I know people are frustrated about their candidates. I also know the primaries can be tough. I firmly believe Democrats will band together and fight for our candidate.

In the meantime I'll just hang out here. I really love DU!

20. It's not so bad
