How Many Of You Are In The Lounge As Refugees From The Flame Wars?

[DistressedAmerican]

I find it a good place to seek refuge for the most part.

How 'bout you? Are you a refugee? Did something in particular put YOU over the top and send you seeking SANCUARY?

1. not so much a refugee...

but the same old flameward get tedious. I love me some good flameage tho, keeps the ole' noodle sharp :evilgrin: The Lounge for me is about being playful, part of my nature that gets me in trouble in GD

2. dammit DA do some thread maintenance here!

;) I find the time to tend my little threads even tho I'm in thesis hell right now!

3. Raise a kid, cook dinner for your wife, keep up with your school work and

then BITCH!

Sorry to leave you hanging. I was looking for a couple more replies before I started giving you a hard time!

5. snarf!

6. I Keep Waiting For It To Get Warm Again And I'll Bring Her Over

There. Too cold to strap her on and walk up the hill right now. Pretty funny last time I did. Saw a lot of folks. She was a doll. Very chill.

Here's a taste from Easter:

9. Oh, what a cutie pie! I hope you enjoy her for the rest of your life!

Sorry you're not here today; it's just beautiful in Portland -- just got up to 70 degrees!

Seems like a moment ago that my daughter was that age. I used to push her carriage on East Third Avenue and 28th Street, New York City, NY.

My daughter turns 37 in October and is married to a doctor who was also born in October! We're all going to Hawaii to celebrate!

The biggest surprise for me was -- 14 months later, I had a son, who turns 36 years old in December.

Lots of fun -- now just memories!

In peace,

Radio Lady

4. I must say I did used to spend a lot more time in GD than I do now.

:hi: I like the Lounge. It's safe and warm here.

7. I'm so misunderstood.

I get tired of people misreading posts- either mine or someone else's- and just going nuts! It distracts from what the topic of conversation was to being with.

I deal with children all day long. Adults should have a better grip on simple comprehension.

[DistressedAmerican]

10. I Find That To Be A Huge Problem TOO!

You think you are posting something informational and reasonably non-controversial and all of the sudden you are defending yourself. Usually on from misread or something that is completely tangential to your point. Look away and you have been hijacked on some nonsense.

12. no shit

nowadays you can't post anything without people jumping all over you.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Just what the hell do you mean by that?!?

;) :hi:

[youthere]

16. That is quite possibly the most offensive thing I have

ever seen posted!!:grr: :grr: :grr:

Now...you must be punished. :spank:

Yeah. I know what you mean.

[Kerrytravelers]

18. I read the title lines of 15 and 16 and thought... NO F-ing WAY!

I'm glad to see it was just DU humor and not stupidity run amuck.. I've seen bigger examples of irony... but not many.

11. I use it to decompress

Sometimes a sense of humor is lacking and vitriol runs rampant out there.

The lounge is a lovely respite from it all.
Casual attire. Kick off shoes. Relax.
:bounce:
A lot of your posts are hilarious. :rofl:
I'm sure a bunch of you could be successfully doing stand-up.


Without some fun and humor (and a whole lotta music) I'd slit my wrists and pack it in.
All activists need a break from CSPAN, AirAmerica, reading, reading, reading.
Writing, writing, writing to congressthugs and papers...etc.

The lounge is much appreciated by me.
Especially when I have insomnia.
That's increased with each day/night the thugs are in power.

I'm glad it's here.

13. That Is The Happiest Post I've Ever Seen Here!

[Panda1]

17. How dare you!

Hahahaha....just kidding.

But yes, sob, sniffle, I get SOOO misunderstood "out there" too. Nobody appreciates my, er, sense of humor.
Gotta laugh. Or else I'd die.


'Coz DUers like us...the ones who need levity for balance....

14. I don't post much in the other areas - this is the only social life

I have, since I hate people.

I read the other forums all the time though.
