I get offline for a few hours and

[fleabert]

somthing happened here! WTH? Can anyone give me the Reader's Digest version without any slant and give me the scoop? It was happy go lucky when I went to watch my other picture box.

1. Basically, everyone sux, no matter what age they are, I think n/t

[fleabert]

3. pls spill it!

what happened to my happy lounge? why is everyone so pissed?

edited to say: I don't think I suck, btw. I am a pretty cool chick.

[qnr]

4. that was it, a lot of ageism on both sides, originally directed

against the younger DUers, but it spread.

9. that sums it up well

lol

[fleabert]

10. that seems so strange for the lounge, but

I haven't been here that long, relatively. does that kind of thing happen a lot?

who gives a shit how old someone is on a board? I guess that is flamebait, I should say: I don't understand why it matters.

2. hey all i did was fix dinner and eat

i was gone 2 hours tops. and no one is talking. all i can say never ever ever tell anyone here how old you are.

[fleabert]

5. I am sensing an age war.

[Be Brave]

7. lets see

young people are ignorant and disrespectful and people over 40 are senile and disrespectful

go check out the ata forum . btw, i am now 30 years old :)

12. I'm 31, I guess that is young enough to remember

and commiserate with teenagers, and old enough to 'get' the over forties. I am feeling a little :hippie: right now.

Peace everyone! It's all cool, why can't we all just get along?

[Cadence]

14. I'm 31 too and that's exactly what I was thinking.

[PittLib]

13. EEEk ... you are old.

(I can still say that. For 2 more months ...)

[RevCheesehead]

8. I dunno - I came in at the end of the fight.

Apparently some long-time DUer posted a thread wanting to put ID's on posters who are younger than 18. It then denigraded into an agism thing, sort of a cyber-brawl.

Skinner's been a busy boy.

Don't know if anyone got tombstoned.

[Bat Boy]

16. Why, nothing happened. Nothing at all.

Don't mind the blood. We'll have that mopped up toot sweet.

Hand me that leg, will you?

[babylonsister]

17. Now this is a thread I could chew on!

And I'm partial to the cartilege/cartiledge/the bony stuff.
