It takes nerves of steel to post stuff these days
I have started so many threads only to delete them before clicking that post message button. I can't even remember how often I typed a response only to delete it. Been here 8 years this past April and feel as if I do not belong anymore. So sad.

3. I wish I had seen it..that's an excellent thought..
there's postive power in that.

Anybody can get on DU and unrec..gotta be a few freepers lurking around..not being able to wait to get back to freeperville and brag how they're such cleaver sneaky little shits.

4. I don't know if that was the case--I think there might be a forums bug
because about 8 billion people have complained about that very thing--threads getting unrecced within seconds of being posted.

Unless there's a very devoted group of unrec jerks going around just unreccing threads for the hell of it, there's something up with the forums code.

5. My guess is the former..

7. Yeah, but both factions on the board are complaining about it.
So I dunno.

2. Just remembe, it's the internet
No need to take it so seriously. I sometimes need to be reminded about that myself.

In the meantime, FREE THE DUCK! ...at least long enough to post in my "Getting to Know You" thread :)

10. It's like some horrible soap opera and I have a hard time looking away.
But unless something changes around here, I don't see myself on DU in the near future.
