1. lol - I can rarely view any of these threads |
|
You are ignoring the author of this thread
Unless a hatefest makes it to the GP, I never see it. I just realized that I may not be seeing a lot of the crap the rest of you are. I have a few people on ignore - the exact number I keep in an undisclosed location :)

3. That's the funny part lately - the "fun" is in opposing certain "cheerleaders" |
|
So when you carefully examine their behavior and call them on it (childish/infantile/vengeful), it motivates them even more to "get" you. Which, of course, reinforces my original diagnosis. Trust me - I'm a hypocrite on this at times too - there are people who dare you to hit them - sometimes I 'fall off the wagon' and succumb to the taunts (how can you not - some of this stuff is pure right-wing trollery).
There is some positive news though - ever since I discovered that I'm not alone in my frustration with the tone & direction of DU, I feel less need to 'play' in what has become their sandbox at this point in time. Thinking about this prompted me to post the "would they miss us" thread.

6. What's frightening is that people were reccing it and defending it |
|
It's like so many have lost all sense of balance or perspective they are just lashing out blindly.

8. Tombstoning, I think is needed here. |
|
Standing on the bodies of rape victims to make some hysterical point on a message board is really, really low.
