Well that's it...
no more GD for me. I made an appeal to reason over there, and tried to get them to stop attacking each other over their candidate choices, and I was accused of having some sort of secret agenda cause I said I was a former Dean supporter. I guess I'll just have to hang out here till the primary stuff is over. :shrug:

You guys still love me...right?

2. Absolutely, Lefty...
I suppose we should have warned you against trying to take logic and reason into GD. They have a commonly held myth that those of us in the Lounge are the ones who are whack.

:hug:

16. I love those!
I have been told by a few GD zealots that I was intellectually "in over my head" posting there, and to "go back to your yaks and coffee"! :D

Being reasonable and intelligent will get you nowhere in GD.

And Leftist, I admire your effort, but you learned early not to bother with appeals to higher thinking over there. I used to do it once in a while, and watched my threads sink like stones, or get accusations like the one I just wrote above hurled at me.

I still post in there, but gave up being reasonable about it. :-)

3. Of course
everyone is welcome here, whether they switched candidates or not. I trust people here to make decisions themselves.

4. Sure, we still love you.
I don't go over there anymore myself. I still don't know who I'm supporting, but I can't stand when people get all nuts with the candidate bashing. Get behind someone and get over it. When will GD realize that people are going to have different opinions. I am the non-confrontational type. Were glad to have you here in the good old lounge!

5. Welcome
And try to stay away from those threads. I have my opinion too and those folks seem to forget that heat tempers steel as in "a flaming attitude" tempers my opinion against theirs.

you are not obliged to explain your changes of position to anyone.

Strangely, they introduced the characterization of being a certain candidiate's supporter to being like on drugs or alcohol.


You did nothing of the kind. They did. :eyes:

10. Really, it's that ugly?
I haven't gone over there in six months or so, as my time on the net is reserved for goofing off right now. I'm sad to hear that folks are getting nasty about the primaries, however.

Edited on Sat Nov-22-03 10:12 PM by burr

You won't have a smile, if they're feelin too tight.

15. yeah, join the rest of the riff-raff here... I can't even go read in GD
anymore. I gave up a few months ago, and feel much better about it. There is plenty to talk about right here, who needs it.
