So long everyone, you are a great bunch of folks.

[Wcross]

I just can't post any more. Every time I try to express my opinion in General discussion I am shouted down by the extreme left membership here. It's as if people are waiting in the wings for ANYTHING to be outraged about. I don't feel this is the place for me anymore, I am not an extreme leftist.

So, farewell all! I'm really going to miss most of the fine people here.


OBAMA 08!

1. Well, I *am* a leftist extremist and I think you belong here just like everyone else does.

It's a big tent. Stick to your opinions; you're entitled to them.

:hug:

[flvegan]

2. Seconded.

[madinmaryland]

4. Nice post, Stinky!!

Stink to your opinions

:D

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

6. What are you talking about, freeper?

:P

[Chan790]

12. Agreed n/m

[redqueen]

16. Yup... (nt)

[KitchenWitch]

3. I am going to miss you.

Please check in at the Lounge once in awhile.

[TZ]

5. Stay in the Lounge..I hardly post in GD anymore...

You are a critter person (cat/dog) I will miss you here...:-(

[SacredCow]

21. Agreed... I rarely go to GD

Unless a lounger posts a shout-out for help in a GD flamewar!

[madinmaryland]

7. Good luck, and hope to see you back soon.

I've found it's just easier to stay out of GD and GD:prrth and post in the lounge, except for when the lounge posting police come out!

[Blue Diadem]

8. Take a breather and come back.

Sometimes it helps to take a break for a while. Just remember, your opinion is just as important as everyone else's here.

[IndianaJones]

9. you'll have the last laugh when we get a moderate in the White House. nt.

[malta blue]

10. NOOOOOO

Please don't stop posting - just take a break and stay out of GD.

:pals:

[Runcible Spoon]

11. everyone gets flamed. You're not special.

and ranting on that the "extreme leftists" are somehow to most obnoxious and loud contingent at DU is just fucking laughable.

Peace.

[jobycom]

13. Those aren't the leftists, those are the assholes. hang out in the Lounge.

Like the rest of us sane folk do.

[Deja Q]

14. Please do not go.

If confronted, stick to your guns but reply with reason. If one-liners have to be used, keep them for when there's no alternative.

One-liners, on your part (or worse, theirs) have little relevance in serious conversations; or at least earlier on. If they are so puerile or defensive they can't be bothered to explain their POV, in favor of throwing names or whine about how wrong you are because of how correct they think they are, put the gerbilbrains on ignore. Even wankers are better than trolls.

BTW: It's not always easy to speak one's mind; especially when you disagree with the majority in any given topic.

[Boojatta]

15. I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO LEAVE!

HOW'S THAT FOR SHOUTING? NOW YOU HAVE TO STAY!

Obama 08.

[Deja Q]

20. I'll hold him down, you tickle him!

:evilgrin:

[RadiationTherapy]

17. I am here purely for the lounge. The rest of DU is a bit knowitall for my tastes. nt

[UTUSN]

18. It's hard not to let the jerks get you down. Just don't let them. n/t

[skygazer]

19. If you go, the terrorists have won

You're either with us or against us.

We're fighting them in GD so we don't have to fight them in the Lounge.


You know, I rarely post in GD or GD:P. I read a lot over there and I get a lot of info (and a lot of laughs). But I rarely post because I rarely find real debate. Here in the Lounge, I find conversation - silly, much of it, but conversation nonetheless.


That's so funny - I meant to write GD, colon, P and it came out GD:P. Which works somehow. :P

[ikojo]

22. Stay in the lounge

people are less uptight here.

[leftofthedial]

23. fine, then just go away nazi

don't let the screen door of extreme leftism shout down your ass




seriously, don't go.


but if you are going, can you leave your ball so we can keep playing?
