Who here now thinks twice before entering GDP forums?

[jzodda]

At first, especially back before it was down to 2 candidates and before HRC went negative I used to go there happily. Now it has degraded that 10 minutes in there can spoil my good mood or make a bad mood worse. Now I pause before I enter there and every time its a longer pause. I hardly go there at all these days and I am happier for it. I wanted to know though if I was not alone in pausing before I went there and started to read the nasty thread titles, let alone the posts.

The three post rule has done nothing to make it more pleasant. We have too many members for that to make a dent. Always somebody else willing to sling mud or help sling it. I can't wait till we have a nominee so we can go after McCain, this is getting quite old. I have been much happier though limiting my exposure to the negative. If you spend some time in there you can easily fall into the trap and start to think Hillary is a witch or Obama is the incarnation of Satan depending which one you support.

I like it here and in other forums better :)

1. I posted there tonight

And it was pleasant - but that is rare there :)

2. I promise to think twice before entering GD:P ...

if everyone else will agree to think *once* before posting in GD:P!

3. It's a zoo.

I just don't go there.

4. What is GDP?

Is it Gross Domestic Product or is it that DU Forum I only visit on odd-numbered years?

6. GDP is dead to me

My DU experience has been much less unpleasant since I put that entire cesspool on Ignore.

7. It has infected other forums as well.

I was just @ LBN (can't remember the thread) and the thread quickly devolved into a GD:P word fight. I may have to take a few days off.

14. LBN, Political videos, Editorials...

they keep finding forums to sneak their bile into.

8. Naah. I work in the mental health field anyway.

Ya gotta look for the good.....

Although my wife's comments about "addiction" are becoming more frequent....

:evilgrin:

9. Haven't set foot in there since before it underwent "the change"

I don't visit the greatest page much either because it seems that every post from the GottDam GD:P has somehow gotten 5+ votes.

I come here to be informed, not berated, bullied or beaten with "opinions" that end up having as much to do with real political knowledge as your average dustup between the Crips and Bloods.

10. I peek in there

every few days and see that it is still "did not/did too" and usually slowly back out though I will post every now and then. I love having that fourm on ignore. It improved my mood greatly.

11. Stuff like this should have 120 recs and replies, not the mud slinging

it seems like we are starting to shift back to being reasonable the last few days. i have been here a while i have just not posted because i do not want to fight with like minded people. my suggestion is to go over to http://www.freerepublic.com for a moment before you enter gd:p, then our fellow dems wont look so bad, no matter who they support.

12. Heads up...

I don't think the board allows direct linking to that site. ;)

[IndependentDem]

13. ooops.

i guess i should go read the rules, thanks for the heads up... i figured since i was talking bad about it it would be ok... i will go edit my post now... thanks again.

15. I never go there or read their trash. I like both candidates and I can't put up with all the lies

and bashing. I think the posters at GD primaries should get jobs with with the right wing swift boat teams because that's about the level of their threads.
