GD --- Four minutes separation from the top to the bottom of the page.



The place is a hornet's nest.

2. Normally I spend most of my time there but
I'm not even peeking in again until DU is back to normal traffic. There are fights breaking out over everything, and it is just nasty.

4. you know it's bad if GD regulars don't want to be there
what is the jist of it? I have peeked in a few times. Seems like massive hyperbole is the order of the day(s).

8. Pick a topic . Just about everything related to the hurricane
turns into a fight over something. Racist response/what racism. Anarchy or chaos? Refugees or evacuees? And of course the new hot button, the 'L" word. LIHOP/MIHOP/random tinfoil hat stuff on everything. There's also a fair amount of moral outrage over the administration, but so many of us are so torqued emotionally by the disaster that very few posters are taking the time to read and digest before reacting.

There also seems to be a high level of trolling. I think it's great that new registrations were closed for a while. That might calm things down over there.

3. like I said in an earlier thread
those people need their own server. They're wrecking it for everyone else.

5. No doubt. And with no MY POSTS... it's like a party line.

6. and worse yet
it's hard to follow anything because we can't search and we can't follow our own comments.

12. That's cause everyone's over there.
Honestly, it's not a discussion board anymore, it's a chat room now.

9. I've given up
You can't follow anything, it's a madhouse.

I've decided if it doesn't make the greatest page I probably didn't need to see it anyway. :shrug:
