WTF is it?

[uppityperson]

No matter how hard someone tries, people just gotta jump on their shit. I mean, really, why? Having seen hatred recent shootings, I understand that people are emotional, but geeze louise. How about helping each other, being supportive, asking for clarification if needed but just giving shit and then defending why it was ok to dump on someone? Come on people.

5. gd, all over

all over the place.

How DARE anyone say murderers are mentally ill when we ALL know they are just evil bastards who deserve to be slowly executed? How DARE anyone try to reach out to someone else when they did it wrong and besides, anyone who is worth reaching out to is just like me!

How DARE a poster misplace an apostrophe or misspell a word, I mean REALLY! I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN SPEND ALL DAY CORRECTING GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION ON DU SO I AM GOING TO DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!

you know, you shouldn't type in all caps because then you are yelling?

Well, why does NO ONE EVER care about (insert topic here that has nothing to do with op or any replies).

"Asshole
no you are a butthead
no really, I think you are psychotic
what are you, a mind reader?
asshole"


argh, on and on and on and on

And I know, I didn't put a period at the end of that non-sentence.
argh

6. I see. Yeah, we've been more cantankerous and ornery lately.

Not sure why. I've seen a couple threads on this sort of thing lately. The fuses are shorter.

13. With hope in one hand, wishes in the other... we are realizing we have zip!

We are disillusioned, I think, and without hope are turning on each other.

Those who insist on believing in Obama and the Democratic Party hate to have reality forced on them. And those (like me) who are saying "Told ya so!" are kinda rubbing noses in it, in frustration I guess.

8. That's exactly what I thought you meant,

word for word. :P

9. Why not use the ignore feature?

That kind of thing may be all over GD, but it's not coming from all DU members.

10. I think you need one of these

:hug:

Frustration overflows everywhere you look here lately. Hopefully, things will get better as the tension everyone feels eases up. It will ease up sooner or later. Try not to let it get to you, people usually don't really mean it. It's better to be an @ than to suffer spontaneous combustion.

3. I don't know specifically what you're speaking of here,

but I've seen the kind of thing you're talking about. Some people just like to be assholes, I'm not sure why.

11. Walk away from the screen.

If you feel it is gettting to you, walk away , come back, if you choose, when you feel better.
This is the internet and I have been told not to take this stuff seriously. It was good advice.

14. I think we have a few posters who are serious meth users.

Some chemical must be involved. I hate to think they are like this normally.

15. People's nerves are a little frayed lately. Don't let it get to you.

And, of course, like any large group of people, there are some that are just congenital assholes. (Them, I hunt down and administer Atomic Wedgies to.)

Have a:beer: and a :hug:. It'll get better.
