Poll question: Are you outraged by the level of outrage here at DU?
Edited on Fri Sep-07-07 03:59 PM by Buzz Clik
Something must be done! Our voices must be heard?

... Or is it that we spend too much time obsessing over trivialities.

Or, perhaps, you simply need to have the dosage of your meds adjusted.

9. It's quite possible that this poll could be a form of therapy -- anger management.

13. I'm too outraged about my own lack of outrage
over the level of outrage on DU to be outraged.

...or maybe I'd just like my meds dosage adjusted. I haven't decided.

14. It seems folks are never outraged enough
at times over the right things. Then other times- they are being picky and snotty about syntax.

16. Goldilocks...
For me DU is a bastion of many things...when I feel outraged, or angry I can find ample postings to keep that fire in me burning. When I've had enough, to bar a complete meltdown, I too can find light-hearted and comical posts that lift my spirits.

:loveya: DU!!

20. I am concerned about ambiguity with respect to Goldilocks.
Perhaps I am mistaken, but there could be various different versions of the Goldilocks story. If we are not told exactly which Goldilocks story is being referenced by the OP, then there is a risk of provoking extreme outrage from those who felt justified in relying upon the Goldilocks story that they consider to be the most official, original, or authentic Goldilocks story.

:evilgrin:

I'm outraged at those people who think being outraged is a trivial matter.

I'm also outraged at the use of the word "outraged" to describe legitimate grievances.

31. Outrage Isn't The Problem. Outrage Stemmed From An Absence Of Sane Reasoning And Objectivity Is.
Outrage can be quite justified and effective. But outrage borne from ignorance rarely is. You will find both here.

sitting here.

But I can't help but wonder if you're projecting...

36. Let's see -
Two choices devoted to indifference. Two choices suggest not enough outrage. One for the status quo and two gratuitous 'funny' poll questions. Which one is 'yes' to your question, then? That sir, is an outrage! I am outraged by your 'poll'!



There is not enough outrage at DU
I am outraged -- outraged! -- by the indifference at DU.
The level of outrage is at the Baby Bear/Goldilocks level -- just right
I am totally indifferent about the outrage at DU
The lack of indifference at DU has me outraged
I like to vote in polls (14 votes, 20%) Vote
Who the hell are you to start a poll? I thought you hated polls!!???!!

37. I find it an outrage that you consider the things nearest our hearts to be
frivolous!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

We are still mourning Anna Nicole, marching on Beverly Hills for the injustice done to Paris and very concerned about all the foot tapping that goes on!
