2. what do you mean:

"Schwaetzchenthema this evening: why some on everything so seriously take away" ???

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

3. Why do people take everything so seriously .

[orleans]

4. maybe because people who kept telling me

"democrats have lost their sense of humor" are right.

(but i don't think so. i just wanted to translate the post--in a bleakly sick way i thought it would be amusing. you didn't actually think i was serious. did you?)

7. Ummm I was translating ...

Actually I was translating and no I did not think you were serious .

5. Oh.. more of the same.. in another language...

I do so LOVE experiencing first hand what has been referred to as the group gangup mentality on DU - but as a long timer with not so much time until very recently... hadn't been able to see.

Given that I am the person taking things to seriously on another thread... it is so cute not just to see a locked thread saying - hey lets go talk about this person... but when it is locked... to see it cleverly revived in another language.

Ah so mature.

Ah so unreflective - and unwilling to even read as to what the objections were in the first place.

Ah so warm and welcoming to others.

Ah what a great way to try to get folks to shut up - because they might not want to be the subject of an off line chat - and multiple public threads about said chat.

11. I agree with salin

This is an argument continuing from 2 threads now. Isn't it time to respect the Moderator's post:
"This thread is inflammtory and intended to continue an argument from an already existing thread. Locking."

My humble opinion is that it's time to stop the negativity and start doing something more constructive than repeated posts about "some people taking everything so seriously."

10. I took myself too seriously until I found myself too serious to take

"Der Lachende
Hat die furchtbare Nachricht
Nur noch nicht empfangen.

Was sind das für Zeiten, wo
Ein Gespräch über Bäume fast ein Verbrechen ist
Weil es ein Schweigen über so viele Untaten einschließt!
Der dort ruhig über die Straße geht
Ist wohl nicht mehr erreichbar für seine Freunde
Die in Not sind?
(...)


Dabei wissen wir doch:
Auch der Hass gegen die Niedrigkeit
Verzerrt die Züge.
Auch der Zorn über das Unrecht
Macht die Stimme heiser. Ach, wir
Die wir den Boden bereiten wollten für Freundlichkeit
Konnten selber nicht freundlich sein."

Berthold Brecht, An die Nachgeborenen, 1939
