What is the thin line between posting in GD and in The Lounge?

[Goathead]

Sometimes things I post don't seem to fit in either or they fit in both. And I know that there are a gazillion other forums. I wish somebody would clear it up for me. And I realize that this should maybe be posted in ATA. Damn... crisis, am I going make the whole system crash by hitting "Post message"?:dilemma: I swear, if this is moved I might just lose it. :banghead: :crazy:

1. I was under the general impression

...that the lounge is non political stuff. GD can have political humor, but I don't know....

3. It's not just for political discussion - GD is for the more serious

discussions that may or may not be political. Remember, there is GD-Politics for political discussion.

4. GD has social stuff too.

And just general things as well.

6. GD posts usually have political implications...

There are frequent deviations, but mostly that remains a good rule of thumb.

2. Just look at it this way

If it's humorous or non-political post it in the lounge. If it's serious and has to do with current events or politics post it in GD.

5. it is exactly the same thin line that exists between

sadism (The Lounge) and masochism (GD)
