Do you ever want to say something in GD: P or GD, but you hold off

7. I've noticed
You and RevActs both drastically lowered your radar signatures at about the same time.



Coincidence? :shrug:

9. I hung around a little longer than she did.
I've been sick. And the stuff going on here doesn't help. I miss my homies here. Good seeing and talking to you.

4. All the time. Sometimes I post without thinking over there.
I try to make up for it by Rick Rolling whoever responds, but they're a persistent bunch.

6. Is there anything there but bullshit?
One tiny thing happens in the primary race, and then there are almost instantly 75 threads on the same subject, full of Obama and Hillary supporters shrieking at each other.

Still, I toss the occasional comment bomb in there.

BULLSHIT

BULLSHIT
BULLSHIT
BULLSHIT
BULLSHIT
Logic and reason
BULLSHIT ATTACK
BULLSHIT ATTACK
BULLSHIT ATTACK
BULLSHIT ATTACK
BULLSHIT ATTACK

10. I'd like to have a serious discussion of race, sexism and homphobia there...
...but it ain't possible...everything turns into a shouting match...I avoid it at times, but then I regretfully go back.

15. The hell of it is
if you disagree with the (rabid) majority, they don't just disagree in return — they attack with every weapon they can bring to bear. Rational discourse is all but impossible.

Were I Skinner, I'd be extremely tempted to just shut the fucking place down. It's got to be an embarrassment to him and likely a threat to his reputation, considering the lurkers and agents provocateur who send detailed reports back to base showing that the Dems are eating each other alive.

16. Exactly.
It really is a cesspool over there. Once in awhile, I find a good, reasonable post, but overall, the meme over there seems to be, "If you disagree with ANYTHING AT ALL regarding my chosen candidate, then I will do my best to vaporize you."

Oy.

18. Confession:

I have to moderate because I'd be right in the middle of the bullshit. I can't help myself otherwise! :rofl:
