1. You were reading in GD?
Which one thread startled you?

8. Well, believe or not on very rare occasions
GD has been tolerable enough to read... but I can't it has been that way lately.

9. Yeah.
I think one of my problems tonight was that fact that I saw two posters who I swore were freepers ages ago, when they first started posting, and they're still here. Bizarre.

10. You noticed that too, huh?
And to think I alerted on one of them awhile back... oh well.

34. Even they can't *all* be stupid.
Given that DU is more tolerant of differing viewpoints than their usual haunts, I'm sure that a few of them have learned to be subtle in their manipulation.

After all, there have to be a few sociopaths mixed in with the standard post deleted variety. ;)

25. I stayed out of GD for about a month then.
That was a frightening time.

26. I just realized the only time I ever post in GD
is when an abortion/birth control thread pops up. :shrug:

27. I've posted on others.
I remember getting into a rather heated argument not long after the elections about how red-staters were losers and that it was everyone in the state's fault that they went red in the first place.

Imagine being a red-stater posting in that thread! I posted the truth-there was not enough coverage or campaigning in my state. I was flamed for that one by people who had never stepped foot in MO!


BTW-that thread was my offical welcome to DU. It was deleted that same night.

Much more fun.

19. I used to have some really good conversations in GD
late at night. But there are times in GD that I feel like I need to take a bath w/ boiling water and bleach.

GD is like that really high strung cousin that you try to avoid. Occasionally you have a great visit and start to rethink your opinion of them. You make an appointment for a lunch date and then all hell breaks loose, comfirming your original opinion.

36. GD is an acquired taste. I made lots of friends there in '03-'04
I don't go often,simply because it's too much like my job.
I do love it on a Hot News Day,though...like looking for the worm at the bottom of the tequila bottle:loveya:
