What do you do?

[Dora]

What do you do when you find yourself on the receiving end of a group bitch-slapping?

:cry:

[Shell Beau]

1. Bitch slap back or better yet, ignore it!! That really pisses people

off!!

[Dora]

2. I have to try ignore.

I'd be no good at bitch-slapping a crowd as I haven't had enough coffee yet. Besides, I don't want to piss anybody off, I just want permission to think my unacceptable thoughts.

[Shell Beau]

3. But of course!! Hope this passes!!

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. Realize that it must be a day ending in "y," go on with life.

[Dora]

7. Okay. I'll gut up.

[Fleshdancer]

5. want some help?

is the bitch slapping in DU?

[Dora]

6. Nah, I deserve the slapping, I guess.

I said something anti-Kerry. :blush: :cry: I didn't mean it to sound like it did, and then I came back this morning to find myself in shreds.

I just want people to like me. I guess I'll go eat some worms and practice saying good things about Kerry.

8. You should have said something bad about my boy Joementum

or Zell Miller... theys da bad folk!

[Dora]

10. I know. I was petty.

Next time I'll think twice.

[Fleshdancer]

11. or Nader

but yes, saying something bad about Joementum or Miller is a popular sport here.

[Fleshdancer]

9. you're entitled to your opinion

not everyone likes Kerry. I'm a Dean gal and I KNOW there are people here who don't like him but that's ok.

No worries Dora! I like you :hi: And as for eating worms, I recommend the sour gummy worms. :D

[Dora]

12. Well, that's encouraging.

And I like you too Gloria! I feel much better now.

I'll save my wormeating for my 3:00 sugar craving. It's Friday - let the party begin!

[Fleshdancer]

13. More encouraging news (sort of)

Just wait 'till primary season in '07...DU becomes one HUGE flamefest on every Democratic candidate running or rumored to be running. It won't matter if you say something mean OR nice about a candidate...you'll get flamed for it! :D

[no name no slogan]

14. Indeed-- stock up on asbestos underwear

nothing like a good old primary fight to get those tempers flaring up like a pack of hemerhoids (sp)

[Dora]

15. I started lurking in primary season 03, and joined in 04.

I remember the mood here well. Crazy! I should add that I spent most of my early months in the Lounge. In some ways, it's like the Kiddie Pool (a good way to learn how to swim), except without the pee (well, maybe it has that too sometimes).

When it comes to constructing arguments and stinging rejoinders, I'm a lightweight, and I'm not looking forward to the inevitable meanness.
