GD is a war zone today

[Zuni]

I am not going back. I don't need to burst an artery this evening.

[Bronco69]

1. That's probably a good idea.

N/T

[Catholic Sensation]

2. it's really depressing

how close to freepers some of them are...

[Deja Q]

8. .

[Tinoire]

25. What really depressing is how open and brazen they are

.

[trof]

3. I think one of the mods is trying to do me in.

They transfered one of my threads from here to GD (I have no idea why) and I barely got out with my skin intact.
;-)

15. You're not alone.

I got warned about psost I thought were civil! :P

[liberalmuse]

4. I thought liberals were more resilent than this.

One dramatically staged Bush event and it all goes to hell. People are already flinging themselves out of windows or sticking their heads in their ovens.

5. GD should be taken off-line for 24 hours

AFAIK it seems that everyone over there needs to logout, go outside, take a deep breath and WAIT to see how this SH BS settles out.

no one KNOWS whether:

BUSH WILL WIN
DEAN WILL LOSE
BUSH WILL LOSE
WAS IT SADDAM?
WILL SADDAM DESTROY BUSH?
WILL REAGAN DIE NOW?
WE NEED CLARK NOW, KERRY NOW, EDWARDS NOW
WE'RE DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED!
THIS PROVES THE WAR WAS RIGHT
THIS PROVES THE WAR WAS WRONG

lordy, watch Battlestar Galatica or Angels in America or listen to a CD or take a nap...

there's plenty of time to discuss this, IN PERSPECTIVE...

[trof]

6. They need a "time out"?

Mom: "OK, everybody go sit in a chair in the dining room and no talking and you'll sit there until you think you know how to behave."
That was worse than a spanking.
;-)

[nostamj]

9. yeah, pretty much

there were some sane threads but.....

[prolesunited]

11. Haven't been around much today

to venture over there, but based on your description, I'm not doing it any time soon.

[Don_G]

7. Although I Read GD

I don't participate. It's not worth getting my blood pressure up.

[VOX]

10. Also, a lot of freepers are coming in over the barbed wire in GD...

I chased one around, hitting the alert button on several threads, but he wasn't being tombstoned very quickly.

I, too, have had enough of GD for one day...

Whew.

[NicoleM]

12. Not only that but

why does every single person who has one of two thoughts about this thing (it doesn't matter, or we might as well not even have the election next year) have to start a new thread about it? It's all been said a hundred times by now.

[mlawson]

13. Ah, no s---!!!

I dreaded logging on this afternoon, figured the Saddam (or his double?) capture would get everyone all keyed up.

Yep, I might head for the brewpub early tonight...

[Padraig18]

14. Welcome to the lounge!

I had to leave, too. I got warned, and I thought I was being civil. That cesspit's not worth it... :shrug:

[Kat45]

16. GD is ALWAYS a war zone! n/t

[legin]

17. It always happens on the really big occasions

Cynthia McKinney election, election 2002, day of attack on Iraq, etc, etc.

You wonder whether there is another board that looks just like DU that you have clicked on by mistake.

[DS1]

18. don't drag it in here!

:X

[DS1]

19. don't drag it in here!

:X

[cliss]

20. Poor mods! Well, the War Zone

is very selective. It's usually on the threads that say "Dean" "Kucinich" "Kerry" "Clark" and sometimes "Lieberman".

Do like I do. As soon as I see any of these names in the Subject Title, I just drive right on past.

That seems to be where the melodramatic soap opera is happening these days. I just ignore them.

[rbnyc]

21. I'm actually trying to keep a thread alive in there.

It's very rare that I post a thread in GD. Why tonight?

[bubba_fett]

22. I know

I don't think the place will really be the same until sometime in 2004, probably well after the election.


P.S. 100th post! Now if only DU would start some kind of counter for lurkers...

[sasquatch]

23. LEFTIST TO ARMS!! LEFTIST TO ARMS!! LEFTIST TO ARMS!!

General Sasquatch on deck ordering you to get the 16's set on rock n' roll and march into GD.;) This is for the good of DU:yourock:

[ACK]

24. Considering staying out till after the primaries

Freeper style anti-Dean or Anti-Clark threads are driving me nuts.

Then all the Saddam threads butting up against each other.

Its all crazy.

The sad part is the commie threads, dress code and other threads on Friday were actually kind of nice. Lots of philosophical political waxing and exchanges of ideas.

Then well ... it all fell apart.
