The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI am wondering if it is just me, or is GDP getting intolerable VERY early this primary season?
I don't remember folks getting worked up so early in primaries last time around. Later, yes, but this time things are going a bit crazy...
I allot myself a few minutes in there every day and then I have to limp out...I know how seriously we all take this but shouldn't our focus be on GOOD stuff?
Not advocating puppies and kitties, just a bit calmer tone...
Oh, and I'll have a Bloody Mary while I'm waiting for a table...

I finally shit canned the entire group a couple of weeks ago because it was getting to be too much.
I'm not going to let my blood pressure rise because of a bunch of loud mouths seem to revel in acting like assholes.

The Jury Blacklist thing is another great defense, even tho I don't think I need it so much now because I won't get into fights in either group.
I don't know why I didn't do this earlier...

But yeah, I know what you mean, I just find it amusing.

(63,771 posts)Here's my rationale: I wouldn't tolerate such people in my personal life, why would I tolerate them on DU?
I do admit to having a personal reason for my feelings about the Guns group because I lost a family member to gun violence. And, of course, I have a personal reason for my feeling about women's rights...I have three granddaughters and I am hostage to their future (as it were).
