Poll question: Should I permanently go back to the GD, GD Politics & UK Forum
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 11:08 AM by ...of J.Temperance
Should I permanently go back to the GD, GD Politics & UK Forum. Or should I still be at GD, GD Politics & UK Forum and also stay here at the DU Lounge?

I like this because it's anonymous, and so I can accurately gauge my non-supporters and also my supporters.

I'm aware that I've lost some support overnight.

On Edit: Just vote, no need for words.

1. It's so far
50-50, 1-1.

I've already visited a bookie this morning and have placed a cash bet on the outcome.

3. I don't even know who you are.
"I'm aware that I've lost some support overnight."

Are you running for office - or posting on a message board? Who gives a shit? Post if you want to post, don't post if you don't want to. No one here cares that much. If people don't want to see your posts, they will ignore you.

For the record: I'm not going to vote, because it makes no difference either way.

4. Well
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 11:39 AM by ...of J.Temperance
I came here to the DU Lounge because it seemed a nice free-form and laid-back place. And the threads were jovial and not too serious, so it was a nice change now and then from the seriousness of GD and GD Politics.

You know, I'm all for porn, porn in a real-life setting. I don't like e-porn, Internet Porn whatever you want to call it.

Sadly the once jovial and not too serious DU Lounge, a free-form and laid-back place has now turned into The DU Internet Porn Lounge. I just don't want to have to sift through this shit each time I visit the DU Lounge.

This isn't why I came to the DU Lounge, I don't mind double-entendres, in fact I do double-entendres myself.

Actually, I think the DU Lounge needs a Chat Room for certain people.

5. The Lounge is like Minnesota weather--if you don't like it, wait 5 min.

11. what on earth are you on about?
if you think this is too much, you have no idea how bad it can be...the days before the 'no sex threads' rule, now THAT was bad...but anyway, it's called "Hide Thread"...learn it, love it, use it... :)

13. You pretty much said you fit in right there!
That and I checked with the Brass and they say the lounge only has room for about 100,000,000 more posters so you need to avoid the last second scramble.

:hi:

7. The sap seems to rise in the Lounge from time to time.
People get a bit frisky. Inevitably someone will go to far and the mods or admins will give the place a cold shower.

8. I'm going to leave I think, I've HAD to put four people on "Ignore"
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 12:10 PM by ...of J.Temperance
The same four people are getting too much, two of them even HIJACKED a really good thread I had going, there were LOTS of interesting responses on the subject and THEN these two turn up and hijack it with their stuff, at least 16 responses between each other, and one of them even admitted in one of their responses "this has got nothing to do with the OP question" or something like that, and yet the two of them just carried on.

I had to LEAVE my OWN thread because of these two...and I never went back to see what the other people had responded to my original question. These two just RUINED the ENTIRE thread with their little thing.

I feel bad about putting people on "Ignore", I've never done that before last night.

9. Look, the whole point of the lounge is laid-back and easy going.
If that stuff bothers you, then maybe you should go back or at least come less often. I don't see why you'd let it bother you. And I don't know what in the world you mean by "porn" b/c that is obviously not allowed here. And I can assure you we are not all porn loving freaks here.

10. Dude, it's a thread, chill out
I don't mean that in a snotty way, just.... it doesn't hurt your thread, does it? It keeps it kicked, more people see it, if you don't want to read that set of replies, just don't. But don't ignore the other people who take the time to reply to your question, just because a couple people decide to have a discussion via your thread...

12. Threads stray all the time. It happens.
You shouldn't let it get to you. In the Lounge, as in real life, conversations sometimes take tangents.

23. That doesn't even make any sense.
I know I seem to keep criticizing you, but so what if they hijack your thread? They are kept in one string, and it is easy to avoid that kind of sub-thread.

Judging from your past couple of threads, your actions have lead me to believe that you enjoy stirring up drama for the sake of being in the middle of drama and you find drama in places where there really isn't any (for others).

You basically gave these 2 power over you in that thread, which is bad enough to do in real life, but to do it in a place that has so many tools to avoid this sort of problem? Pu-leeze.

14. If the lounge bothers you
you wouldn't last two posts in most of the other forums that I use. This place is pretty laid back and tame.

19. -and those evil "what's for lunch" threads.
I almost had to put our dear Miss Millie on "ignore". I think she's an "instigator".

20. You'd better watch out.
I might start posting some lists. Then we'd all be in trouble.
