you could substitute FR for GD and it would look perfectly normal don't you?

doesnt change the truth.
the GD is very interesting, and important. But there is a lot of over-the-top flaming that goes on, and I just don't like to get mired in it. In the past, I was very active in GD, and got beat down (sometimes deservedly) many times. Now, I'm just more comfortable reading GD, but posting here

...Why don't you take an anti-drug stance in here and see how quickly you remain unflamed.

I'm not saying there aren't flame wars in here. Of course there are. But they are less often, AND tend to be ( a little ) more civil. For example, in this case, by "flame" do you mean disagreement or actual flaming? There IS a difference, and I'm just curious which you got.
..also, what kind of anti-drug? nicotine? weed? alcohol? caffiene? crack?

...Just by suggesting that someone else bring up drugs.
On edit: nothing else I said mattered so I just cut it out.

8. I Can Be Pretty Contentious Sometimes |
|
so when I'm in the mood, I can go to 'the argument clinic.' I was a more frequent visitor to GD in the days leading up to the election than afterward. I've felt 'argued-out' since that time, and the lounge has been a laid-back oasis for me. I expect to make more forays into GD sometime, but for now I'm content to drop the occasional comment without engaging in lengthy discourse on esoteric points.

12. I lurk more than I post. I post mostly when someone puts on their |
|
tinfoil hat.
I think that the regulars in GD think we aren't as passionate/serious about our politics as they are, but the truth is, I for one, am deeply passionate about it. I just need to play in the lounge to blow off some steam. Otherwise, I think I would go to bed and pull the covers over my head and be depressed for the next 4 years.
As for some of the GD people thinking that we are cliquish - there is some truth to that. I try hard to post to a variety of people and I try really hard to post to newbies and to not let someone's thread sink who rarely posts in the lounge.

who proposed to me! I know that I am going to see sniffa and that it's very funny to replace one word in a famous quote with "JimmyJazz" and that Chavez saw me in his meatloaf, but other than that -- I just can't seem to recall who proposed :shrug:
If only I knew, we could get married and have a helluva honeymoon :7

Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 06:51 PM by Bouncy Ball
with no replies, especially if it seems sincere and isn't just jacking around stuff (like "I got an A on my test today!" or "I've had a crappy day") I post to it. Everyone wants to feel noticed.

15. I posted on that thread of yours that I don't think we should |
|
create a dichotomy where none exists. Everyone should feel free to post whereever they wish to.
I go to the lounge when I just want fun, I go to GD or GD: Politics when I want to get more serious, I go to LBN for obvious reasons, LOL!
Texas forum, GLBT issues, whatever.

Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 06:57 PM by Longgrain
The only reason I posted that was because someone who posts primarily in the Lounge posted something earlier this afternoon that I suggested she post in GD...which she did...
Plus there have been Lounge posts critical of GD, so you can't deny there is some rift...

17. Half of my posts are probably in GD. |

I post wherever I please. The kind of DUer that'll eat food outta your fridge, sleep in your bed, play with your kids' action figures, and shave in your kitchen. ;)

19. I am so sad and frustrated over the state of the country |
|
today. I have not felt this way since I "resigned" from politics in 1975. I come here to keep my spirits up and to "support the troops", so to speak.
