1. Yes, nothing better than taking a good thing and making ungooder. |
|
because of all of these damn polls, I'm going to have to get off the internet and make dinner for my kids.

4. Amen to that Sister! These posters are either disruptors |
|
or are that stage of emotional immaturity that they can never get enough attention. I have really cut back on checking in on DU during the day because the content is so abysmally watered down by their juvenile blatherings. I

8. These copycat posts are verbal paintballs - go play in the woods |
|
when you feel a need to mindlessly make a mess.

7. It's really ruined my DU experience |
|
If people were to limit it to 1 to 5..I'd chuckle along..but once it gets to 10 or twenty, it's flat out annoying. There is no happy medium since I certainly don't want to put half the lounge on ignore and wouldn't want to remove the lounge views from MY screen...
I suppose asking people to consider
MODERATION
is a bit too much to ask

19. but... that's my point, one or two or 5 Alive might be runny |

Yeah, I get the point, I agree completely.
I just made ignore count = ignore count + 6 and boy, is my first page of the lounge short, in fact -- my scrollbar just disappeared :evilgrin:

15. But is moderation ALLOWED in the Lounge? |
|
Not that I do a lot of copycat threads, but what the hell. The Lounge is the one place that pretty much anything can go, and in which all the loopy stuff can happen.
I enjoy it. And considering that at any time there are about 85% of threads that I'm not at all interested in anyway, doesn't matter to me if it's a copycat thread I don't care about, a kitty picture thread I don't care about, or a whinging cry for sympathy thread I don't care about, or a thread complaining about other threads that I don't care about.
I take the stuff I like and let the rest of it go on as it was intended to go on. it is beaitiful in its own right, and part of the delicious beauty of people's moods and human interactions creating something far more beyond the sum of its parts.

22. And I totally affirm your right to be a grouch about it |
|
You grouch. :-)
Now, stick a pillow in it. Here - I have some extras...
Woo hoo!!
Grouch all you want. You have my total and unending support; even if I don't agree with your conclusion or your hypothesis, I am with you as you scream.

11. You know what..not out to shame anyone |
|
and for that fact, I've done it myself a time or two..BUT THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT!! A TIME or TWO...click on the Latest polls thread and you'll catch my drift...if people limited themselves to a time or two here and there, it wouldn't become the nerve grating annoyance that it has become...the KlEEB threads were TOTALLY over the top...4 fucking pages of compulsive threads..honestly...SOME of the people that start the threads ARE my friends...there just doesn't seem to be an innate sense by ANYONE of when enough is enough..sorry..rant over

18. I understand what you're saying |
|
sometimes it's witty and clever and sometimes it's out of control.
Perhaps the problem is that we have too many people here who think they're witty and clever.

It screamed out to be done. I usually don't do them. So, sorry.
