13. Okay, I found it....
I wanted to respond to some of the things, but thought the better of it. No sense pulling that thread back to the front page!

7. I think the simpler the topic, the more people have to say on it.
:shrug: That's at least what I tend to notice over in GD. Long, well thought out and provoking posts often get 2-3 replies, while 4 sentence verbal pukes get 100 replies, all disagreeing with each other.

Me? I really don't get DU, but I sure as hell find it interesting.

9. i think people just love to be judgemental and simpler posts are easier to be judgemental about.
or take out their personal vendettas.

14. You are jealous because they were no deleted subthreads in your thread.
It was a smaller conflagration after all.:P

I saw the egg thread before there were deletions (really a dog diet flamewar, not a humanely farmed eggs issue). The subthreads were from Bizarro land.

19. it does seem that people will get upset about pretty much
anything....

maybe all should relax and try to be more civil. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.
