Current Events, people leaving DU

[bigbrother05]

Would you want your child's school teacher, to be allowed to report on the personality of the child, with a grade on their report card. What is the criteria?, don't have any?. What is the grading system?, we don't know. What if you have a problem, with their parents, or the way they look, or act or talk, again what is your criteria.
The same applies here at DU, I am not calling anyone out, but how do you JUDGE, and I am not calling anyone a child. This is a real problem I had with the system.
I don't have anyone on ignore. If you disagree with the poster , if your going to fight, pick you're fight, have a legitimate argument
The Admins, have done a good job of limiting the number of posts, a little quirky today, but they are working hard.

1. Maybe it's the bottle of wine I've consumed, but that made NO sense to me...

...and I'm usually pretty cognizant even with alcohol added, so I don't think it's me...

[WorseBeforeBetter]

2. I'm stone-cold sober and am just as puzzled by it. (n/t)

[Divine Discontent]

3. share the bottle!

and I'm guessing that it makes sense to whomever they're referring to? but... back to the alcohol for me... lol.

[MercutioATC]

4. Like I said...I drank it....

...I'll share the second bottle, though...

[northamericancitizen]

6. Testing if I have Heart following my name.

Why not sipping some wine at the same time... If you want to share, that is.

[northamericancitizen]

8. No Heart, no Star! I guess I need that glass of wine. Please...eom

[bigbrother05]

7. What aren't you getting?

[MercutioATC]

16. About the OP? Did you understand it?

I got that the OP was leaving and there was some angst about fighting and children and grade cards...

[bigbrother05]

19. I am not

going anywhere, sorry you can't understand

[Divine Discontent]

10. port? eom

[MercutioATC]

15. I wish...should've picked up a bottle.

Just a drinkable Cab.

[Divine Discontent]

25. ah.. that's good

but I'd rather have Port. I'm going to a winery in 2 days here in fl. Want a bottle? I can send it up! ;)

[MercutioATC]

30. Sure!

Just finished a bottle of Dow's Tawny 10-year-old last night...I'm out :)

[Mojorabbit]

12. I have had three beers and I am at a loss too n/t

[bigbrother05]

14. Do you not have any understanding

of human nature post 1

[MercutioATC]

17. Dude, if you're gonna reference two other posts, I'm gonna need a program.

"Human Nature Post 1 and 2"??

[bigbrother05]

20. I edited it Dude

just for post 1
Do you not have any understanding of human nature
And i am not a dude

[MercutioATC]

31. Sorry about that..

Profile is "undeclared" and the handle seemed male (yes, I do get the Orwellian reference).

Alternately, you could take it as a compliment...in friendly terms "dude" is an expression of esteem regardless of gender....

[bigbrother05]

32. I could, but I won't

if you disagreed with the post, you could have had an intelligible disagreement, but you had to respond as a drunken sailor
You missed the whole point.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Forget it; he's rolling.

[Kurovski]

9. "Your" should be the contraction "you're", as in "you are."

That's legitimate.

[myrna minx]

26. But it's your knowledge of semicolons and ellipsis that makes my toes curl.

:loveya:

[Kurovski]

27. The funny thing is,

I'm only guessing at those. I use them based on how they "look".

Looky what the Valentines bunny dropped on you for being so nice to me! :hug:

[myrna minx]

28. And that's why you would make such a damn fine Vice President!

A little bunny just hopped you way, too. :hug:

[Kurovski]

29. You/your...

:rofl:

Thanks, my most lovely one of the well-turned ankle! :loveya:

[Laurab]

35. I saw that!

I admit she has better lines than me - my toes don't curl, dammit. Although I do love a man who knows his your and you're, and to and too, and they're and their, and there - there is almost nothing in the world more attractive than that - for me, at least - mostly, sometimes. :donut: :loveya:

[Kurovski]

37. I like how your posts are sometimes about something, on certain days.

No, I LOVE it!!

:D :loveya:

It's a great Valentines week so far, isn't it?

[Laurab]

38. Well on certain days I can think more better, others not so much.

But I'm pretty sure my toes just curled - or, they're frozen, I'm not positive.

I'm liking Valentines week - I gave away my heart(s) and they came back to me. Now I'm awaiting the results from today, with my new kitten on my lap, and a kitchen full of puppies that are almost ready to find their forever homes, but right now, want nothing more than to play with me. Life doesn't get much better, I tell you.

I still haven't spoken to Barack about JE, but I WILL as soon as he calls. I hope he's not getting conceited because of all the adulation, because I knew him way back, when he was just a long shot deciding to jump into the fray.

Ahh - puppies and kittens - that's what really makes the world go 'round!

:hug:

[myrna minx]

39. I'm so unintentionally adorable, just like youse guys.

:rofl:

[mikelewis]

11. I totally agree that you should do that...

It's not like they just up and went all passenger 57 on you or anything. The other day I though I had all the answers too but I just began crying and crying and then it was all okay... I know you understand... I do, I know it.

Don't let them throw salt in your game. That's really all I wanted to say.

Rock on!

[bigbrother05]

22. I am not going to cry, but that was just crazy

glad you got it

[sam sarrha]

13. they will be back after the freep'n spammers leave, i came here because it was moderated and was a

great place to find info in links, and rational discussions..

it will get better again, but it is hard sometimes to find a rational thread.. the spammers turn the page so fast everything is lost

18. The internet is an informational warfare battleground.

Political websites are major theaters.

I've been saying that since I became a member here in 2001, today more people realize what this really means.

One of the most helpful articles I've read about information warfare was published in the US Army War College's Quarterly Parameters in 1998.

Here is a link to that article for those members that might want to understand this a bit more.

23. Thanks, changed the title

It was Psychological Behavior, this was a program that they were trying to introduce in my child's school.
This was a pretty interesting response to the post.
I was hoping more would get it

[Bluebear]

21. Well, who could argue with that?

:crazy:

[bigbrother05]

24. Apparently a lot of people

[MedleyMisty]

33. Can anyone tell me what is so good and virtuous and moral

about letting yourself be trolled instead of putting the trolls on ignore? Why are we always exhorted to pay attention to people who just come here to fuck with us?

[iamthebandfanman]

34. how do people on du judge other peoples personalities?

is that what youre asking ? if so, give an example.
i tend to believe its hard to make a conclusion about someones personality over a computer. personality is more than just what you say, its how you say it. i think people on DU tend to judge peoples morality and intelligence. there are some tho that try to go for low blows, but that only speaks to their own personality and character , as well as their intelligence level since they hadta resort to such tactics when their argument was failing.

as far as the teacher, i dont know how you can judge or rate someones personality. behavior, sure. you can rate that all day. sure you dont mean they are rating kids behavior? not their personality ?
