I don't want to alarm anyone

[WilliamPitt]

but there are people fighting in the new General Discussion primaries forum.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

1. Yeah, but they're fighting over the usual crap...

...the kind of fighting we're used to. GD will always have fighting, no matter how many ways it is split.

Edit - I'd be more shocked if there were NO fighting, actually.

[arwalden]

4. Well Said!!!

"Usual crap" is an excellent description.

In the same way that I'll rubberneck at a horrible car accident on the beltway, I may pop in to GD2 to see the mutilated bodies strewn about. But... for the most part, I'm delighted that they are gone.

In this case... segregation is a good thing.

7. hey...how did you get my picture?

;)

[INTELBYTES]

31. Hey someone said they lost and arm a leg and a

testicle in there last week. Please report any found nuts to lost and found please.

[Booberdawg]

2. *gasp*

:wow:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. wow fucking revelation! *smacks head so hard I got a concussion*

They should put one of those x boxes on the entire forum :D

on edit: but at least now you have one tidy neat little area to search for some when you want to find them

[CatWoman]

5. *fumbles around for crucifix and rope of garlic*

I'm going in.............

:D

[arcane1]

6. the new GD forum needs a new name

how about "General Rove Talking Points"

:evilgrin:

[jus_the_facts]

33. Yeah call it.....God Dammit....same initials and everything....besides....

.....that's usually what I'm always sayin' when leavin' outta there!! :crazy: :D

:hi:

[ComerPerro]

8. I love GD, but

I dont have any immediate plans to go into the Primaries forum. No thank you.

Its nice to have though...

Im getting sick of "Clark can't win", "Dean can't win"...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. ComerPerro can't win!

:evilgrin:

[liberalhistorian]

9. Well, that's one of the many great things

about GD being divided into two forums now; if we don't want to deal with the candidate bashing and arguing and my-candidate's-dick-is-bigger-than-your-candidate's-dick-and-can-beat-Bush's-dick diatribes and monologues, then we can simply avoid that forum altogether!

29. So where does that leave CMB?

[supernova]

10. STOP THE PRESSES!!

We must alert the media!! Get it on video. Film at 11.

[Plaid Adder]

11. I am shocked! Shocked!!!

To discover that there is INFIGHTING going on in the primaries forum!!

It'll be gambling next,

The Plaid Adder

[supernova]

And loose women!

But I'm keepin' the booze here in the Lounge. ;-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. I'll bet you're right!

[alwynsw]

34. Next thing you know, they'll be smokin' cigarettes and dancin'

the shimmy sham. (TY Burgess Meredith)

[TrogL]

12. I got a flame war going in the lounge

The mods must hate me.

[Journeyman]

13. That's great. . .

of course, I'm of the school which holds that anyone who chooses their candidate based on what people on this board post is either brain dead or incredibly naive politically. There was a time when sensible, reasoned rhetoric was employed, but those days are seemingly as gone as the Dodo, which, surprisingly enough, is the school of thought which replaced it. I'm sure there are good posts aplenty extolling the merits of various candidates without denigrating the others, but who wants to wade through that much dross to seek pearls that may prove worthless.

[Blue-Jay]

15. WOW!

Go fuckin' figure.

[silverlib]

17. and you know what Skinner and the moderators say?

They say that some of it is inflammatory! This is really alarming. I'm going to hide in the lounge and only peak into the general discussion forums.

[SOteric]

18. D'oh!

Whodda thunk?

[liberalmuse]

19. Is there a way to hide an entire thread?

I guess I'll have to stop hanging out in 'The Latest' so I don't accidentally open up the primary thread.

[Booberdawg]

20. You mean forum?

No, don't think you can hide a forum

[Ladyhawk]

21. Yeah you can.

Just set your computers host file to redirect to localhost when going to www.democraticunderground.com. I've actually done that with some sites to keep myself from going there...I'm obsessive. sigh.

[Booberdawg]

23. I think she is asking if she can hide just the new GD forum and not

the rest of DU

[populistmom]

22. I'm shocked!

:wow:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

24. Shhhhhh. Be vewwwry veeeeeewry quiiiiet. Maybe they will

kill each other?

[JohnKleeb]

25. really you say

I thought there was gonna be peace and harmony :D.

[Booberdawg]

26. And they would all hold hands and

sing kum bay ya ...:D

[JohnKleeb]

28. and then get high

:D

[areschild]

27. I'm alarmed! I'm alarmed!

Okay, alarm's over. Go back to what you were doing.:P

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. Now where to hell did I put...

...all that duct tape and plastic sheeting I bought last winter?

[Padraig18]

32. I hope it lasts.

:)

[T Roosevelt]
