Poll question: Which forum is the most volatile place on DU?
Edited on Tue Jan-06-09 07:33 PM by Elrond Hubbard
Where do you go if you have a death wish?
Now with voting, lower sodium, and more molecules!

Edit: now with Gungeon hotness.

10. I have to agree

13. GD-P.
Although I'll bet Israel-Palestine is a blast, too.

Every time I go into GD-P I wind up putting someone on ignore within five minutes or so. Just remember: anything any Democrat (well, except for Lieberman) who has pissed you off has done which was bad or stupid (or both, such as voting for Bush's war) MUST be forgiven or you're a miserable fucking piece of trash. You MUST swallow shit you don't like and call it "unity," and you'll even have idiots spell that word out to you when you disagree with anyone: "u-n-i-t-y."

Nowadays the forum is little more than comic relief.

19. On the other hand, you're also a miserable fucking piece of trash if...
you don't display the proper level of outrage at everything a Dem does that somebody disagrees with.
There are the hardcore 'SUPPORT DEMS BLINDLY AT ALL COSTS' and the hardcore 'RAGE BLINDLY AT EVERYTHING AT ALL COSTS' crowds.
Both are annoying.

21. So true. The second crowd gets in your face even when you agree.
So here I am, a big Obama supporter who is already tired of the whining about his every move, but I finally found one thing he did that I didn't like (Panetta doesn't, IMO, have the requisite background to be CIA director), I didn't dare mention it over there because it just isn't worth it.

During the primaries, I would have. I am as anti-Hillary than I am pro-Obama, and wasn't afraid to throw that around no matter how mad the Hillbots (as I call them, anyway) got. A few months of seeing the hysteria in that place made all of my piss and vinegar evaporate, I guess.

16. At the moment, I'd think I/P
not that I've actually been there or anything.

Then again, there seem to be lots of GD threads about the Israeli limited police action :sarcasm: that haven't been moved in there. :shrug:

27. I think right now
GC/P and I/P are pretty much the same thing. And I wouldn't venture into either without a flak jacket.

28. Oh God, do I have to pick one? They ALL suck (except the Lounge)
The Lounge's flamewars are hilarious. The other forums are just hateful cesspools of bile. R/T, I/P, and the Gungeon take special honors, though - I have strong opinions about two of the three, moderate opinions about the other, and I absolutely refuse to post in any of them. NOTHING is worth putting up with the mindless vicious abuse that is routinely spewed at anyone with a "dissenting" opinion.

29. I can't stand the "Health" subforum.
Too many nuts that think my Asperger's Syndrome is caused by mercury poisoning and think that Deepak Chopra's quackery is legitimate medicine.
