I'm leaving this site again

[bucolic_frolic]

The intolerance, hatred, stupidity, mental rigidity of a small percentage
of members here is simply anathema to free thinking rational fact based
individuals. I've reached this point before, only to return in many months,
I hope this time around I keep to my resolve and stay away. I know, it's
woe is me but who has time for hard-headed fools who won't recognize
facts, numbers, logic, evidence even if circumstantial.

This is one of the biggest faults of Americans, mental rigidity. Their
mental reality is universal and they want to impose it upon you. Yes
there are members here who are just like the most rigid Fundamentalist,
the most staunch conservative, just as intolerant, closed-minded neanderthals
as have ever walked the earth.

Last time I changed by password, didn't write it down, and sadly came
back again for another dose of intolerance.

This time, it's goodbye for good!

1. Maybe if you figured

out which groups you're posting in and what belongs where. Until then..

[demmiblue]

2. Ok... bye!

[BlueJazz]

3. We WILL come and get you. Seriously, you're letting a few individuals control what and how you feel.

I think you're better than that.

[Generic Brad]

4. You could stay and put the small percentage on ignore

This site is reflective of the larger world. There are always going to be individuals who rub us the wrong way. I just don't engage the folks who trip my trigger because life is too short.

5. What a wimp! A GBCW post in the lounge?! I double dog dare you to do this in GD!

better yet, GDP! Triple dog dare...

This group is too nice for a GBCW.... Square your shoulders, pull on your big boy pants, and head on over to the "Neanderthals" playing in the big leagues.

Door, ass and all that jazz.

6. Okay

[DFW]

7. You mean you came to Feel the Spurn?

You're not alone, and you're not wrong.

But there's life outside DU, and the primary season won't last forever.

8. Whatever.There's only 2 real ways to leave.

1. Just go
2. Pull a Walt Starr.

[Ineeda]

12. Third option: poster could

post a few deliberately offensive comments in a few forums or groups known for their (justifiable) sensitivity. How many hides does it take to get a pizza? Not that I would ever recommend that strategy, of course.

13. I avoid going to groups that are full of the Perpetual Outrage Brigade members.

[GOLGO 13]

9. Who are you again?

We should care that your leaving because...?

[Major Nikon]

10. ...

[femmocrat]

11. Sorry you feel that way.

But this is the Lounge. GD is down the hall.

[pinboy3niner]

14. GBCW posts are OK in the Lounge--but only if they have LOLcats

LOTS of LOLcats.

[femmocrat]

16. My mistake! GBCW cat:

[pinboy3niner]

17. Now THAT'S a proper Lounge GBCW post

[NJCher]

20. the paw on the right had me gasping!

OMD, that is so funny!!

Now, on another note, I do not think we should be so glib at a poster's leaving. Many posters were not, but some were. I've read many intelligent, good points by bucolicfrolic.

There's some good advice on this thread, bucolic. I hope you don't leave.

25. pinboy3niner made me do it.

I'm sorry......

[Fla Dem]

26. OK that cat gif distrubs me.

Just from looking at the background, it would appear the ledge is fairly high up, like multiple stories up. First to allow a cat to roam freely that high with no barriers is insane. Second, do we know what happened to the cat?

[OriginalGeek]

30. i can't stop laughing!

his little toes all sticking out...

[Major Nikon]

21. I say we keep this thread alive with kitteh posts

That way can keep bucolic_frolic's memory alive, just like he would have wanted us to.

18. The Beatles - I'll Be Back

[mackerel]

19. What's going on here!?! I thought we only allowed drinking and

bad jokes in the lounge!

[Major Nikon]

22. We're nowhere near that shallow

You didn't even mention all the non-sequiturs, drug use, and nekkid twister.

[mackerel]

23. I always leave that for you :P

[bigwillq]

27. Goodbye!!!!!111111

Another thin-skinner bites the dust.


Excuse my snark, but it's just a message board. Please try not to take it so seriously.

Hope you change your mind. If not, all the best.
