Have you ever seen a thread you suspect is an inside joke and slam against another DUer...

[Haole Girl]

but people don't know it & they continue to kick it?

I hate that. :-(

[cwydro]

1. How can they know?

I know I am usually completely clueless about Lounge Drama. Hell, I don't even know who a lot of people are anymore since the name changes.

[Haole Girl]

2. I'm out of the drama loop, for now, thank God!

But I can usually tell, maybe because it's happened to me in the past, when a thread is probably intended as a dig or insult about another DUer.

[auntAgonist]

3. +1. I need a cheat sheet just to keep up.

[Haole Girl]

6. I don't even get cheat sheets anymore!

I consider this a good thing.

[graywarrior]

4. Same here

I hardly look at names. I'm self centered like that.

[Haole Girl]

You and your "thread that never dies" thread!

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

20. Yes. My own clique of geeks and freaks and a few hit and runs.

I think DU'rs are afraid to respond to any of my other threads because of the thread virus factor.

[Strong Atheist]

54. "geeks and freaks"

I resemble that remark!

:evilfrown:

[cwydro]

27. Yeah, well even if you changed your name...

we'd know you by that damn duck.;)

[graywarrior]

28. There's no where to hide.

Plus, I just got gifted with a new one.
It's really bad but I can't stop laughing at it.

[cwydro]

30. OMG!

Go post in GD NOW!

Did you see the free the duck thread further down?

[graywarrior]

31. No I didn't. It's in GD you say?

[cwydro]

33. No in the Lounge.

I was telling you to post in GD because of that duck hood!

[graywarrior]

36. I'll bet heads will explode.

I'm gonna go do it.

[cwydro]

37. Right behind you!

If you make it about torture...

[madinmaryland]

48. Heads are exploding and will roll!! FREE THE DUCK!!

[cwydro]

[graywarrior]

38. Ha ha ha, I just posted it there.

I'm so sinister.

[Deja Q]

39. Thanks a lot. I just peed my pants.

41. Just doing my job

[Midlodemocrat]

11. I was just thinking that I haven't seen Saint Etienne 17 around lately

and maybe he did a name change and I didn't catch it. Nice kid.

[LostinVA]

15. I THINK he did change his name

[Midlodemocrat]

17. I wish I could remember what it was. I liked that kid.

[flvegan]

5. I just know that we're not allowed to talk about chicken anymore.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Yup. The fun's over.

:(

[Phentex]

8. and possibly "condo association"...

:yoiks:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

32. That was peculiar but now I'm a little worried about that fellow...

[Haole Girl]

10. I missed the whole chicken thing

But I got the memo later.

[LostinVA]

13. wtf are you talking about???

[flvegan]

18. I can't tell you.

We're not allowed to talk about it (chicken) any more. Chicken, fercryinoutloud.

[LostinVA]

21. PM me, Megan

Or is it the cornflake thing?

[flvegan]

23. Well

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=3499154

[LostinVA]

25. Okay, I thought it was something new

[Shell Beau]

47. Oh, those were the days!! And Midlo was a mod!!

:rofl:

[Haole Girl]

24. i think the chicken thing WAS the cornflake thing

Wasn't it?

:shrug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. Is it worse now than it ever was?

Or is it just me?

[Haole Girl]

12. Part of it is...

we've lost some good people who left du after the election. I miss them.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. We have lost some good people.

:(

[JitterbugPerfume]

16. I am so far out of the loop

that I am sitting here in my own loop

a loop of one

[Haole Girl]

19. Nothing wrong with that

:hi:

[cwydro]

22. I like that.

I have my own little loop of one too.

[Jamastiene]

52. Is that what you kids are calling it nowadays?

:evilgrin:

[TK421]

26. Yeah

[Haole Girl]

29. Hey!

:hi:

[TK421]

40. Yo!

:hi:

[SOteric]

34. Are you kidding? - That *never* happens here.

[fishwax]

42. I'm generally pretty clueless about the drama

so I'm sure I've probably (unwittingly) kicked such threads in the past.

[Kali]

43. yes

most of the time I am oblivious, usually I don't respond, sometimes I think it's funny and join in, sometimes I join with something intended to throw a wrench in the deal, sometimes I actually defend

but mostly I am just oblivious

[leeroysphitz]

44. Nope, never. It's probably just your imagination...

I wouldn't worry about it. :P

[In_The_Wind]

45. I seem to remember a few of those in the past.

x(

[Mike 03]

46. Not to my knowledge, but I have definitely failed to miss satire or irony and respond

way too seriously or defensively to a post that was making fun of the very thing it portended to assault, thereby making a complete jackass of myself.

[DS1]

49. Hell, I'll kick it even if it's against me!

Most of them are hilarious, "I post on INSECUREPHOTOFUCK.COM" for example, but that could have been against sniffa, too. I'm so insecure I can't even tell.

[ScreamingMeemie]

50. In the past, I had lost friends over that very thing.

I would respond to a post, not knowing it was an attack---and then all that crap ceased to matter anymore.

[no name no slogan]

51. I've probably alienated my share that way, too

But you know what? It's just a single post. Chances are I was joking around and being the general all around asshole I've always been around here.

Some people need to just lighten up and get some hobbies. Or else they should just kiss my big fat white butt. I can't decide which one. Right now I'm leaning toward hobbies, but it could go either way. :shrug:

[cwydro]

57. Yeah, I respond to anything that takes my fancy

and have received outraged pms from people who hate the OP or the subject, asking me how I could do such a thing. I just don't have time for that. It's like elementary school for someone to expect me not to respond to their most hated. I can't keep up with who hates who or even who is in what clique.

It's just a message board for crying out loud.

[Strong Atheist]

53. I once stumbled into the middle of two warring groups that I was clueless about. It was not

pleasant...

[BarenakedLady]

55. I'm clueless

I've stepped in it unawares a few times.

[surrealAmerican]

56. Wait, there are inside jokes here?

Who knew?
