Response to Original message
118. I've seen this sort of thing before.
"I'm dumbfounded that people insist on pushing this.
I am not stupid. I can see which people are making the effort to keep this situation alive, and who is wisely staying out of it.

I have no clue why anyone would want to continually bait other people like this. But I would not be surprised if the hope is that certain people will lash out in response, and then you can pretend that you are the innocent victims here.

Or maybe some of you just get a kick out of being cruel.

I know, I know -- you're outraged that I would dare to suggest that anyone in the DU Lounge is cruel. It's all just harmless fun!™

-Skinner"
