Okay, Loungies - let's cut to the chase. Can we do that?
If you feel that someone is offensive to you, why not use the ignore feature? Why keep complaining about the same person or persons, when you don't have to deal with them at all?

It's a choice that only you can make - so I'd like to know why some choose to wallow in the mire of internet drama, while others hit that ignore button and go about their lives.

The thick fog of negativity has managed to consume the Lounge, and it's not healthy, imo.

I am taking my own advice today, and using that button. There's waaaayyyyy too much negativity IRL that I can't control - so I will take charge of what I CAN control.

Peace. :)

4. That's so mysterious.
I google it and get 38, something about a football game a year and a half ago and this:

6 "This is what the LORD says—
Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last;
apart from me there is no God.

7 Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it.
Let him declare and lay out before me
what has happened since I established my ancient people,
and what is yet to come—
yes, let him foretell what will come.

8 Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me?
No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."


:D

6. ROTFLMAO!!!!
"44-6" is the score of the last Philadelphia Eagles/Dallas Cowboys game.

The Eagles kicked the Cowboys' hides. :7

To all DU Eagles fans, "44-6" is the new "+1".

8. I don't understand what you are trying to fix or accomplish.
I think most people are more or less desperate for interaction and so drama is generated and wallowed about in. We have so little contact with others in real life.

15. I dunno. Maybe just trying to point out the obvious.
The Lounge used to be so much fun - but the one constant that seems to be spoiling it is people's issues with others.

It's so easy to repair - and yet, it ain't happenin'. :shrug:

20. Right; and I contend that people's issues with others is all a message board is composed of
so I am unsure where to go from there.

14. Is the phrase "cut to the chase" a term from movie editing, like when the exposition gets boring?

21. The lounge goes through funky times. It is a cycle.
:shrug:

Although, I do think it is a little more funky than the usual.
