Just wondering..
This is my first time to post in the lounge, and I'm hoping there is a chance some sanity is available here. My concern is the fact that I really think there are RW'ers posing as Dems infiltrating this site and that they are trying their best to knock down every good idea we have. Trying to run us off. A lot of well-meaning people have flown the coop because of this, sadly. I think that's what they want. This place used to be so much more open and although folx disagreed, at least they weren't just downright rude and full of unrelenting mockery! I hope ya'll don't think I'm just paranoid, but has anyone else noticed that the flavor of rudeness seems to be in the RW category? It's hard to believe that it is mostly just because of a "bad week". Thanks, it was good to get it off my chest.

2. Rudeness? Here?
Surely you jest.

And "unrelenting mockery" goes in the "NEVAH!" category.

Welcome to the Lounge, though.

3. Welcome to the Lounge!
We tend to be crazy, but normally friendly, in my experience at least...

I mostly stay out of the political forums, so I have no idea if what you're saying is correct...

I sincerely hope it isn't...

:hi:

7. The environment has gotten awfully rude lately
especially in GD and the other "serious" forums.

You are not alone.

8. I'm sure there are some RW'ers here just to sow discontent.
I'm on a couple of RW sites to do the same. Mainly to post in their polls to skew the results. :rofl:

10. republicans arent the only mean people
just because your political affiliation is to the democratic party, no one says you have to be nice.

infact, there are several practical/pragmatic reasons to be a democrat that has nothing to do with being nice.

not all of us are bleeding heart liberals some of us on a personal level are just spiteful assholes.
