How often do you visit GD these days?

[joeybee12]

Ok, we all know about the flame wars going on there. I try to avoid it, because even when you think you're saying something very innocuous, someone inevitably takes it the wrong way. For me, the response is number 4--it's not worth it, but sometimes something really sets me off and I just can't help myself!

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. I pop in and out

And if there's anything interesting I sit and read and sometimes reply. But I just think the Lounge is more fun that GD overall.

I'm sure it was set up to be that way, but still - I like some fun with my politics.

[NightTrain]

2. Never!

It's gotten waaaaay too nasty at GD! That's how I discovered the Lounge--not that things don't sometimes get hairy around here, but it's far worse than GD.

3. i voted 'huh'

Cuz i don't visit ANYWHERE----i just click on "latest" and i see all the latest threads in all the forums.

Am I doing DU wrong?

[joeybee12]

4. Well, you can click on Lounge or GD or Latest News--they're all

on the sidebar--the "latest" section mixes all three.

But I can't really say you're doing anything "wrong" if you're happy!

[soothsayer]

5. thanks!

i like the mix

[joeybee12]

9. You're welcome!

6. Huh?

What's GD? :shrug:

(Seriously...I BARELY ever go there)

[BurtWorm]

7. I haven't gone there much today but it's not because of the candidate

threads. I'll give you three guesses why I don't have much interest in it in the last day or so. ;)

[joeybee12]

8. Ok, here are my guesses

1.) Too much time spent Christmas shopping

2.) It's friggin windy here in Denver, and I can't concentrate

3.) For some reason I'm thinking of spiders these days

What do I win????????????????

[BurtWorm]

11. Close enough!

You win a donut and a cup of coffee.

:donut:

[joeybee12]

14. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm donuts!

I was on a roll with those a week ago--had some three times for breakfast--I could feel my arteries harden with each bite!

10. skinner is running a poll right now

to consider dividing GD into two forums

GD
GD - 2004 Primary (which would be come General Election 2004)

so far, overwhelming support for the split...

[joeybee12]

15. It's a good idea--but I fear there will be some cross-over

But it's certainly worth a shot.

[SoCalDem]

16. If they have the ability to set a filter

for the candidate names, it should be automatic..

Who would want to post candidate crap in GD if they could not name their guy :evilgrin:

[Zuni]

12. I can't take GD

it is soooo nasty over there. Like being in a den of hyenas, all ravenous.

[amazona]

13. i enjoy visiting there

It is my only chance in life to be perceived as fairly moderate and center-of-the-road rather than a crazed weirdo communist as I'm sure so many of my friends perceive me here in the deep South. :-)

[thom1102]

17. I will go back after we have a candidate...

Hopefully then we can all focus our ire at shrub rather than each other... Until then I am happy to just hang out here, posting pictures of my kitties, giving encouraging words to people having a hard time, answering silly poll questions and basically just basking in the warm glow of the lounge's humanity.

[joeybee12]

19. Speaking of photos of kitties--where are they???????????????????

[thom1102]

22. Here they are

This is Calvin



and this is Tucker

[joeybee12]

24. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta figure out how to post mine.

I assume they're male--siblings or any blood connection?

[thom1102]

25. Nope,

We got Tucker last year after Calvin's littermate, Hobbes, died from complications from surgery to remove a toy that was stuck in his intestines. Thanks, I like them

18. #1

I'm a GD baby. :)

[Piperay]

20. Sneak in and out

really fast after I check my favorite forums Late Breaking News and the Lounge. I may respond to one post there a day but on the whole I don't go there much because I have to admit..."they are all nuts". :crazy:

[VOX]

21. GD is meat and potatoes, and the Lounge is dessert!

My forays into GD are always rewarded with a leisurely stay in the Lounge.

GD can make your blood boil, but the Lounge is very grounding and supportive.

[Robb]

27. Well put.

That's where I'm at, as well.

[Kenneth ken]

23. other

about the same as I always have. I read a lot more than I post, so it's not all that different to me. I read the thread titles, and if it sounds interesting I read posts unless it degenerates into a flame war or I lose interest in the responses.

[Misinformed01]

26. I go just because I like to watch egotistical people

who for some unknown reason think others should give a damn about their uninformed political opinions make jackasses of themselves.

I have yet to see anyone explain why I should take "their" candidate seriously.

Ridiculous.

But, it's like watching the monkeys in the zoo, and it's free.

[gate of the sun]

28. I visit everyday

allmost but I am not an avid poster.

[joeybee12]

29. Thanks for saving this poll from oblivion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
