I congratulate each and every one of you.

How lovely. You have the courage to express real and honest feelings, and especially in copycat threads.

This is why I root for the lot of you. When the most enlightened people in the most powerful country are this insensitive and mean, there's no funnier thing for this goddamned planet. None.

Nice work folks! :thumbsup:

1. What did I miss?

I must have missed some real nastiness.

What thread?

[da_chimperor]

2. LOL, someone's gonna be pissed

Seriously though, it's no use getting bent out of shape about copycat threads. I'd be honored if someone copycatted one of mine.

3. People need to get over themselves

have a sense of reality - y'know?

[da_chimperor]

14. Definately. Copycatting is the nature of the lounge

and don't expose yourself if you can't take some people joking around.

4. ? n/t

Hey, why are you always grumpy in the morning? (Just kidding - I've only actually seen it twice. You may be happy as a lark other mornings)

[DS1]

5. I congratulate you on not spelling congratulate with a D

It's refreshing.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. Especially when it's me!

[tavalon]

10. And what's the thing with lose/loose?

I've seen so many otherwise highly educated folk mess that one up.

i.e. I don't want to lose my loose morals is often written I don't want to loose my loose morals.

7. I'm very sincere, CStT...

when you do felate Hedges, I would SINCERELY like you to film it! :-)

And I admire you and root for you, too. You're one of the smartest, funniest, sweetest people here. Seeing you here makes DU, for me, such a lovely place.

:loveya:

9. Terry - I already said I'd felate you!

Are you aiming for seconds?

:evilgrin:

[terrya]

11. There's never a limit on that, CStT.

Seconds, thirds, eighths and ninths...

8. wow, this is still going? i thought it was going to die last night

in any event, i can see both sides of the argument. i'm guilty of copycats, but i never copycat personal threads (i.e. in the nature of some of the things that happened last night). if someone goes to through that much effort to post a genuine disclosure of their feelings, it is insensitive AT BEST to post a copycat thread based on the original. however, people have to remember that this is the f*cking lounge, and that everything should be taken with a 55-gallon drum of salt...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. That's what I'm saying.

I appreciate the response. I wouldn't copycat the original but the tantrum that followed - to me- is fair game

[tavalon]

13. What tantrum?

I was here all night (goofing off way too much last night) and I missed it. Spill please.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

19. There's a post in ATA that will lead you to the details.

jus' sayin'...

[StopTheMorans]

17. i agree; people also need to occassionally remind themselves that this

is the "information superhighway", and that maybe, JUST MAYBE, they shouldn't get so offended about what someone whom they have never met (and will probably never meet) posts in a non-political forum on a political message board...

[Beware the Beast Man]

15. Fuck You!

Fuckball!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. Eat a dick up raw!

[liberalmuse]

16. Insensative and mean? On DU? NEVER!

And where are these enlightened people of which you speak?

Honestly, if it weren't for the mindless fun of reading copycat threads, I'd go nuts under Bush rule and all the threads inspired by his heinousness.

On edit: Having just logged on, I have no idea what I missed last night. I'll leave this post here as a lesson to those who are tempted to post in threads before they know what the hell is going on.
