It is getting REALLY NASTY out there (GD) |
|
Just when I think I've made some more progress away from being the arrogant judgmental prick I used to be, I meet me from the past.
Was I EVER that nasty? CRIPES. I go in and espouse a "No hate speech from either end" position, and I get people DEFENDING their right to cast aspersion.
If I ever did that to any of you, I sure apologize. My IGNORE list got a real workout over the last 24 hours.

1. How do they feel about casting asparagus? |

No, you aren't nasty. At least I've never seen it. :hug:

But I know for a fact over the last 6 years I've done more than MY share of pissing in GD.
I have GOT to swear off that place, but I really felt the point was important to make.

3. What's the subject matter of debate(sic)? |
|
President of Iran? Hillary? Moveon.org? How many licks does it take to reach the end of a tootsie roll?

I took offense to something, and some folks of long standing felt free to "take my inventory" without knowing me.

6. Don't you mean "It's getting REALLY SILLY out there (GD)"? |
|
I can't take it seriously.

7. I thought I remembered you as more contentious than you now |
|
are.
I can't remember if I agreed, disagreed or what-have-you, I just remember thinking you occasionally kicked over an anthill!
Which I myself did in GD when I first got here. Nowadays I just steer clear of the real message-board combat--even when something sets me off; the hotheaded posts rarely change opinions and just make enemies.
Sometimes it does take a lot of self-control to avoid posting in those threads, but usually only for a minute or so! :)

Plus, the discouragement of roughly 37 years of banging one's head against the wall eventually leaves you a little dizzy. What I need to do is stop STARTING them!!

8. I've hidden several threads over there |
|
makes the browsing more pleasant and I'm not tempted to join the fray.

9. GD reminds me of my days as a bartender |
|
and why I yearned to be a proctologist.

Now I'm really scared.
People attacking each other over definite articles.
