One of our GD brethren is quite upset about the juvenile behavior of folks here in the Lounge.

I think you should all now spank yourselves for being very very naughty.

1. Sorry, I couldn't read past the Ann Coulter comparison.

I just don't have the energy.

[Maddy McCall]

2. Juvenile behavior? Like running to another forum to whine?

Yeah, that's pretty juvenile.

:shrug:

3. We're juveniles. WTF, that's why I'm here.

4. Best line to come out of this mess: "Who/what is matcom?"

[Kutjara]

5. A question that the greatest minds of our generation...

...will ponder for many years to come.

6. What is matcom?

7. LOL.

8. That's DU brethren, and the post has merit.

A statement about happenings here on DU, seemingly more an more lately (if you look for them), is quite relevant.

9. Besides the Ann Coulter comparison.

11. Yeah, but we won't hold that against you! :-)

12. Perhaps you shouldn't make a joke of a legitimate concern.

Even if you don't believe it's a real problem, obviously some DUers do and they deserve to be heard.

[Kutjara]

14. Oh I believe its a real concern all right.

My post was not an attempt to belittle people's views in the original thread, but something different. I was trying to make a point about the divisivness between GD and the Lounge that someone would go over there to post about something that happened over here.

I've seen many posts about how GD people won't even look at the Lounge because its "too weird." Similarly, I've read numerous Lounge threads about how sanctimonius GD posters are (smoking, breastfeeding, PETA anyone?).

I could perhaps have been a little more clear in what I meant, for which I apologize. I do tend to use humor when trying to make a serious point. It's not to everyone's taste.

13. it's a good thread and by you starting this thread in mockery of

it, you prove his point. there is most definitely no shortage of ASSHOLES here at DU, that's for sure.

[Kutjara]

15. No, Jonny, there certainly isn't.
