This wave of nostalgia for old flamewars is making me misty.

[asthmaticeog]

I love ALL you fuckin' bellicose assholes!

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Oh, yeah?

Well why don't you just shut the fuck up about it?

Welcome to my ignore list, asshat.



(you know I'm kidding, right)

[asthmaticeog]

5. YAY! Punchiness!

This is why I love it here - even your *friends* will rise to the occasion when you feel like picking a fight.

[Misunderestimator]

2. I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree.

[asthmaticeog]

11. Firemen aren't just for putting out flames, you know.

[Misunderestimator]

12. Awwww.... babies...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. What are some old, old flamewars that haven't been brought up?

I'm sure there must be some doozies.

[trof]

4. Confederate Flag

The South
Ignernt Rednecks
etc.

In my neophyte days I bit.
I don't any more.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. The South's gonna do it again, baby!

[Bunny]

27. trof, I've always held you in high esteem, and it's now even higher.

For you've just used one of my favorite words: ignernt! I love that word, and I wish it was a real word so I could use it in polite society. guy!

[asthmaticeog]

13. Were you around for the "bitch war?"

About three, three and a half years ago: flamewar after flamewar after flamewar about all aspects of the use of the word "bitch," for weeks. A lot of really great DUers left because of the ugliness of that flareup and the intensity of the fighting. I still miss a few of them. (SouthernGirlWriter, you ain't forgotten )

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. No, I wasn't around.

But that explains some strange posts I've seen.

[asthmaticeog]

16. Yeah, the issue never really was settled.

I don't think it can be.

[bicentennial_baby]

17. Oh, I remember that one...

[jonnyblitz]

14. the last presidential primary was bad.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. and that's an understatement

[jonnyblitz]

33. I really didn't have a favorite candidate but I still somehow

managed to get in the middle of some stuff.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. It was horrible.

Like fighting with republicans.

[asthmaticeog]

20. That's why I abandoned the GDs for the Lounge to begin with.

I got really tired of being treated like I was lower than plankton for sportin' a Kucinich avatar.

[jonnyblitz]

29. this Israel stuff has to be the most absolute worse ever though.

I have never seen anything like this on here since I have been around.

[asthmaticeog]

35. I'm steering SO clear of that shit.

I'm Jewish AND I think Israel's in the wrong. I'm vulnerable from both sides!

[ghostsofgiants]

39. One of them thar self-hatin' Jews, eh?

</sterotypical redneck drawl>

[asthmaticeog]

40. Oh, come now.

Rednecks don't know "self-hating Jews" from gefilte fish.

[ghostsofgiants]

41. Haha...

I forget where I even got that from. Seems like it's from a tv show of some sort, but all I hear is the voice saying it, with no real connections to any mmemories of any sort. I'm probably just crazy, I dunno.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

23. Well, that's kind of understandable.

[jonnyblitz]

36. if you weren't around for it you will see soon enough..

[texas1928]

25. Hell the election of 2004, was horrid.

I never seen so many people disemboweling each other.

[jonnyblitz]

34. it's pretty bad right now, too. nt

8. OMG. I'm so NOT nostalagic for that.

[asthmaticeog]

9. In such times, it's important to sek the humor of the situation.

Remember the absurdity, and let the viciousness fade away into time. And anyway, most of the nasties have been tombed.

I'm so fucking zen I can't hardly STAND it.

[terrya]

10. True enough

That's an excellent perspective.

I know what you mean.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

22. guys in elf hats?!

That must have been something.

Anything I can do a search on? It sounds kind of funny.

[asthmaticeog]

26. You maybe don't want to know.

Seriously.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

32. I was reminded of that recently

37. !!!

THE DEAD WALK AGAIN!

[Medium Baby Jesus]

38. Hmmmm

21. ...misty?

My apologies, I thought you were Babette.


Do you have Babette's phone number?

[texas1928]

24. Man I am so out of the loop.

I miss all the flame wars. Or I just read the stuff and see people's points of few, and can see both sides of the argument.

[Ariana Celeste]

30. I could be mistaken,

but wasn't there once a little flamefest about words on the back of girl's pants or some such thing like that?

[GirlinContempt]

31. Thanks
