Anyone else feel like they need a shower after a few posts in GD?

[Cobalt Violet]

It doesn't matter what the topic, if I'm serious,or light,joking or what. There is always a gang of posters waiting to rip me new one for nothing. I see happening to many other people too. It never use to be like that. I've never had to deal with such a

rigid

lot of people in my life! Total black and white thinking.

Does everyone have OCD these days?

1. maybe it's you

perhaps you should consider that

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. It's probably something you posted 2+ years ago that they have

always remembered, and every time you post they feel the need to rip you apart because you were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!!..that one time...2+ years ago. :hi:

4. I can't read anything right.. I can't write anything right.

My English sucks. My puncuation suck. And everything comes out wrong. I have to edit most posts twice. I don't feel like I'm allowed to voice my opionion like I use to. Anyway ... Thanks. I may have said something 2 years ago too.

5. is someone picking on your grammar/spelling?

I hate that elitist sh**, unless it's a troll. Anyways, if someone bothers you, use the IGNORE function.

9. It sometimes ends that way.

It starts with a disagreement on any given topic and ends up being about my flaws. I can't wait until we are at level one or two, which ever the ignore function starts working again at. I'm thinking of putting anyone on ignore that resorts to personal attacks or grammar/spelling attacks on me or on other DUers. I can't walk on egg shells around here all the time.
Thanks for listening.

3. It's not just you

:hug: I rarely post in GD, and it's usually after drinking. When I've done it sober, I've had to douse myself in bleach afterwards.

[Cobalt Violet]

7. Okay. Okay.

Then maybe it's not just me. I see it happen to other people too. I don't drink because of my liver. GD is so not worth killing my liver. :hug: thanks

6. There are a bunch of unhappy, misanthropic

assholes in GD. They argue just for the sake of arguing

[Cobalt Violet]

14. I don't remember it being this bad.

I seems to have gotten much worse.

8. THE DEMOCRATS CLAPPED!!!!!111 OMG!!!!1111

:eyes:

11. I'll never post in other one of his threads again.

Then he'll come along. Delete it, change the entire content of the thread,My post will still be there, out of context and before you know it half of DU is demanding an appology from me when I didn't do anything wrong. And it wasn't that one. It was the other one and I think you know.

10. ya, it`s pretty bad over there

i`m used to that stuff in the i/p basement but gd is getting just as bad. i`ll respond if the person is at least polite or i have seen their posts for several years otherwise i`ll just ignore them

[Cobalt Violet]

16. I can't stand the way they jump all over you there.

And if one person does it the others join in. It's like high school. It's actually bringing up old feeling from when I was back in high school that aren't so pleasant.

12. I started over there

but the lounge has become home, in many more ways then one!

[Cobalt Violet]

15. I stay in groups a lot.

And usually GD, and sometimes the lounge. I don't recognize GD anymore. I kind of shocked.

[BlueStorm]

13. see my thread...

I can't post there until the whole SOTU thing blows over.

17. I love GD

Fighting with your fellow Democrats is a way of toning the mental muscles for the real fights with the opposition. You just have to remember to wear protective equipment and not take anything personally.

18. agreed, I rarely have problems over there

But avoid flameworthy threads if the battle is not worth fighting.
