6. Sometimes I am really sorry that I post an opinion.
:( Opinions are not welcome in GD.

7. You're still loved in the Lounge.
Sometimes a break from GD is in order, if nothing else than to regain one's sanity.

9. I have found myself going there less and less of late. I really can't
stand attacking over disagreement and that's what we resort to there. My screen name is much more fitting there I guess. :hug:

18. I'm like you
I was a lurker for like 8 months (at least) and I always read GD. Now actually being a member, it's not that I get involved in confrotations there (because if I really disagree, I'm the type that just doesn't post), so I find myself in the Lounge most of the time. Oh well.

25. I think
I may regret telling you. :evilgrin:

but the title has something to do with heterosexuals and gay people and rape.

Or something like that.

10. No. I posted an opinion. That's all.

But, I'm done. Now, I'm in the Lounge where hopefully peace reigns. No? :hi:

13. I've found it's best to just read GD...and, post in LBN and the Lounge.
Sometimes, I wanna cry over how some folks are treated in GD.
They sure rake some people over the coals over there, don't they?

:-(

16. I agree MrsGrumpy
It would be nice if you could post and get an honest arguement
and debate. If I was pappalove I might think it out. GD is is most of what I have read and I am new here. It is really kinda like a mess.

I have been reading a while and I like most you post MrsGrumpy. It will all be ok in the end.

23. Agree with you
I stay as far as possible from 'troublesome' threads (abortion threads for example), because people's views are too deeply held for any kind of meaningful discussion and the threads invariably degenerate into name-calling and outright flame-wars. When I detect an itching-for-a fight attitude in the tone of the original poster ("I hold this view, what the hell are you going to do about it ?"), I stay away as well.
