What is this whole Lounge business?.....it's like high school home room!!

[cboy4]

Day after day of poll questions about who do you like, who do you hate, who sent that nasty PM, do you think I'm pretty, whisper, whisper, paranoia -- OMFG!!

I hear there is at least one person who is so out of control, he/she has been told not to contact certain members!!

I can't believe how juvenile this place has become lately. What a joke. :eyes:

Is it any wonder why probably, what no more than 2% of the entire DU membership bothers to routinely post in this room?

Take a look....it's practically the same people who post every day!!

And some people post only to provoke others as though they're at elementary school, engaged in a recess spat.

Seriously, some of you (and you know who you are) really, really need to get outdoors and search for a life.

I realize the Lounge can be a place to visit with friends, and it's totally cool to laugh and joke around, but fukk, there are limitations.

This may sound harsh, but the Lounge has turned into a horrible soap opera that seriously needs to be canceled.

28. I'm glad to hear I've helped you. People who have low self esteem

should seek counseling rather than initiate and/or participate in idiotic polls. (not that I'm saying you have low self esteem, or the person who keeps

20. blasphemer!

:toast:

[ohiosmith]

25. Dude! You can't be the most attractive, and live in a place named after a bowling ball. Choose.

[ohiosmith]

19. Of course. Why bother with polls about the obvious?

22. Yes we do! -- He/She never ceases to remind us all EVERY single moment of the day!

21. Soap Operas Rarely Get Cancelled...

chill

:rofl:

[Gormy Cuss]

31. There's the rub.

Soap operas are very popular.
:rofl:

[asthmaticeog]

29. I'm sorry, the GDs *aren't* juvenile?

A pretension to seriousness doesn't make a childish hyperventilating jackass not a childish hyperventilating jackass. At least we KNOW we're being idiots.

[SPKrazy]

32. OMG!

:woohoo:

:thumbsup:

that is a great comeback!

:hi:

[ohiosmith]

35. Yeah! We know we're.....being...idiots? What?

[madinmaryland]

30. You mean we shouldn't get reviews on the Olive Garden here?

[Dora]

33. Mmm-hmm. And that's why it's "The Lounge."

In GD, questions like "Am I pretty?" would be met with derision. Responses, in fact that are flavored like your post, except your post seems unnecessarily critical of a forum that's designed expressly for the sophomoric hijinks that you're complaining about.

If you can't beat 'em, well, fool me once, can't get fooled again.

Flamebait. Every member is equipped with the same tools i.e., ignore and hide thread.
