Why, oh, why, did I clear my "ignore"?
Some people just can't steer away from personal attacks.

Oh, wait. Maybe the better question is: "Why, oh why, do I venture into GD?"

I'm just gonna hang out in here for a while....

:scared:

1. Please, everyone, let us know if you venture into GD. If we don't hear back...
we'll send in a search party.

5. I'm back. It's yucky. Also, not quite as bad as I thought it would be.
My biggest problem with the nature of the "discussion" in there is that I find it's incredibly ignorant. So, I'm irritated, but otherwise--none the worse for wear.

Where'd my coffee get to?

6. I went in looking for you or any other wayward loungers...
way scary over there. Something like 235 posts on the "We need to quit disrespecting doctors" thread. Yikes.

7. That's exactly the thread I was thinking of while writing my above post.
Scary.

I think HypnoToad's still in there, if'n you wanna go throw him a rope. (He started a Hillary thread, I believe.)

12. I can't even find that thread now. I wish Hypno luck.
But I still don't know what he was thinking. A Hillary thread? Today? Crazy man.

2. What's even worse . . .
is seeing not ONE person on your list, especially the serial flamethrowers/ad hominem giants/job offshoring fans, in Marble-row Country.

THAT'S the most frustrating.

14. I'd never used it before
but then again, I rarely venture into places where it's needed.

I did just get my first accusation of being a neo-nazi the other day though. That was a bit of a surprise, since it wasn't in GD or GD-P. And more than just a bit offensive, especially considering that if my grandfather's side of the family hadn't left poland in the early 1900s, they would have still been around when WWII came along. And they were jewish. Do the math on that one. :\

First time I've ever used the alert button, and first time I seriously considered putting someone on ignore.
