It's days like this when I'm ashamed to be a DU'er

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

Come on guys. What's with all of this pathetic namecalling and gossiping. Are you guys showing your true colors; that your all just a bunch of school yard bullies? Surely we're above that. I'm afraid such unfounded anger has led me to fill my ignored threads and users list. Someone PM me when people come to their sense and stop pointing fingers and dropping 'subtle' remarks such as "It was your fucking friends who drove her off!"

So just let me know when the "Urge to Kill" scale lowers a few notches. Honestly guys, your supposed to be the mature adults here.

1. I'm just glad the people in *my* clique are sane.

:hide:

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

2. I'm my own clique, so it's only as sane as I am.

:smoke:

[ulysses]

4. just as long as you never run yourself off DU.

That would be bad.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

20. Indeed

:P it'd be a mighty blow to my ego too

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. ....

:rofl: I think....? :rofl:

[ulysses]

5. that was a laugh line, yeah.

:D :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

9. LOL

[Madrone]

6. What's with all of this pathetic namecalling and gossiping

First visit to the Lounge? :shrug:




Not that I disagree with you - but that school yard stuff seems to be the status quo around here.

[Maddy McCall]

8. Wasn't always this way.

[Madrone]

10. It has been for at least a few years.

More than long enough.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

19. No, waxes and wanes though, and it just spiked high this morning

with Ava leaving, and I just needed to vent about it because it's sad to see people act that way.

[billyskank]

7. Um, yeah. That's what DU is like

Hadn't you noticed before? :(

[WindRavenX]

11. fuck, is this shit STILL going on??

It's been over a fucking week since I've been on DU and this shit is still going on?

fucking hell.

[Deja Q]

12. Our society has that effect on people.

:(

[MsKandice01]

13. I'm so lost...

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Ignorance really is bliss sometimes, I guess.

[crim son]

14. I was thinking the same.

Name calling? I appear to have missed all the ruckus and I've been here every night.

[miss_american_pie]

15. It was earlier today

I'll pm you. :hi:

[ZombieNixon]

25. Yeah, could I get that, too?

I have no idea what's going on. :shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. I'm a member of the oblivious clique too.

Have a brew, MsKandice01! :beer:

[MsKandice01]

17. Don't mind if I do!!

:toast:

Does this mean that I'm in a clique? Yeehaw!! The oblivious clique ROOLZ!

P.S. I'll take some booze too, if you've got it. :)

[idgiehkt]

30. me either. I must have missed those threads.

[Guava Jelly]

18. that is one thing about being a dem that sucks

We tend to eat our own sometimes.
Whereas the republicans lie cheat and steal but rarely attack each other.

[SKKY]

21. You know, if I were a Newbie to DU...

...I'd be quite turned off by some of this garbage, and probably wouldn't come back. Is that what we're
really trying to do here?

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Hey, you! How's that beautiful baby?

Any new pics?

[Maddy McCall]

23. It's funny that it's always the same people at the center of these...

situations.

I guess some people aren't happy unless they create conflict all around them.

[fishnfla]

24. Proud member of the "never know whats going" on club

cant get nor cause any trouble

[WCGreen]

31. Me too.....

Ava occasionally got on my nerves but any 14, 15 or 16 year old is bound to do that to someone of my advanced age...

I am sure I got on her nerves on those rare occasions when I started to post after takng my meds....

But still, all the name calling went way over my head...

[ZombieNixon]

26. What the flying fuck is going on?

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

27. something to do with Ava

That's all I know.

[ZombieNixon]

28. Yeah, I've figured that much out,

but apparently it's been brewing for a couple of days. :shrug: I'd like to know the full story or at least a bit more.

[JohnKleeb]

29. you and me both

I am just as curious as the next guy.

[bluethruandthru]

32. All I know is she's leaving DU for awhile

and I gathered it was because of some nasty stuff directed at her? Not too sure myself.

[JohnKleeb]

33. Thats all I got now too

I am glad I am not part of any "clique" anymore. Just have myself and it's simple.

[flvegan]

34. Schoolyard bullies are lesser cowards.

It's not as anonymous as it is on the internets. Here, on DU/the internets, one can be a total asshole and probably get away with it. The good ones can be total assholes, get folks riled up, then run back to their respective cesspool (rhymes with DU...) and laugh it up with their troglodyte pals.

Fuck 'em. We can do all sorts of stuff here on the nets, including programs that fend off a virus, block popups and adaware, etc, but we can't weed out the assholes.

All those that are shocked, raise your hands...
