This Board Is Becoming More Like High School Every Day
I can't wait till we separate ourselves into the stoners, jocks, Heathers, and nerds...

Carry on...

Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 08:59 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
I could give a rip if someone on the "internets" doesn't like me..

10. I find it all very, very funny.
It makes me think of something The Gap Girls would do.

6. I was devastated. I think I am clearly far more vile than some of the people on it!
I do love the way they are calling ignoring "the iggy thing" now--it's just so fantastically cutesypoo!

5. I enjoyed some mature relationships in HS ... this is kindergarten
Where bullies thought they ruled and supervision was dull.

7. I agree

9. We're seen better days - and worse. At one point, I stayed away
for a few years ... things are much better now.

13. I've been here every day almost since the start
We have certainly seen better days, but I cannot recall ever seeing worse behavior on this board. But, maybe that is due to the fact we have two pretty good candidates that actually have a chance of winning this time. Since this board was founded, only republicans have occupied the whitehouse.

15. I left after warning others about a certain activist who was later
revealed to have done just about what I said she was doing. So I missed the worst of that ... no sense taking real grief over a virtual community while my mother was dying in the next room.

I closed the non-profit investigative journalism fund I'd founded - there are too few safeguards and I wasn't going to stand for principle by myself.

Yup, this is silly season ... but nothing like the abuse I suffered then. Moderation? I don't think it would have been possible.

11. We passed high school awhile back.
This is more like 3rd-grade recess.
