This is getting old real fast.

[JackBeck]

Obviously there's a group of Loungers that are pissed at each other.

Both sides have clearly gathered their troops and have formed alliances.

But guess what? It has nothing to do with the rest of us.

Give it a freaking rest and leave the rest of us out of it.

I have never taken ANY side when drama occurred and that even got me labeled a troll.

All this lounge shite that has nothing to do with most people here, although it dominates the conversation, gets annoying when you want to participate in a thread, since it just turns out to be another veiled attack.

I seriously don't know all of the principal players who are involved with the current drama, but can we please just give it a fucking rest already?

[Redstone]

1. Oh, jeez, another insurrection / pogrom / running battle of sniping?

I've managed to miss them all so far, so will take a pass on this one, too.

I haven't the faintest idea what you're referring to, but appreciate the heads-up nonetheless; I'll go so something else for a few days and check back in when the flames die down.

Redstone

[JackBeck]

6. Nor do I have any buy-in, Redstone.

It just gets...well, kind of boring when this shite shows up consistently. I just wish those involved would deal with it without involving the Lounge postings.

[Lethe]

2. stuff on a messageboard is nothing to get upset about

in the grand scheme of things its kind of ridiculous

[JackBeck]

14. Most of us are pretty passionate about exchanging

political positions and hashing out the details.

And most of us embrace this space as more than just a "message board".

In the grand scheme of things, this place is far from ridiculous.

[Lethe]

15. well, i respectfully disagree

in the grand scheme of things, to get upset at DU is very ridiculous

take a step back and take a deep breath. Remember you are just stardust in the current form of a mammal. You will die someday, and i'm guessing that nothing at DU will be on your tombstone?

[theredpen]

22. "You will die someday"

What?!
Are you sure?!

[Fire Walk With Me]

31. Unless the boards involve your livelihood.

[Capn Sunshine]

3. Just another glimpse at the PMing behind the scenes BS

The lounge is fun as long as it's taken at surface value.
When people lose sleep over online relationships and things said on an online message board...perhaps they need to take a step back and leave it all behind.

And NO this is not a secret message to anyone who PMs me. You know I love you all.

[SPKrazy]

4. i agree

it is real fucking old

[Solon]

5. Feel the same way, I'd just as soon not get caught up in stupid bullshit in the lounge. n/t

[JackBeck]

7. Thank you.

And yet they still make it our business. Freakin' weird if ya ask me.

[Solon]

8. Its one thing to vent about some personal problems with friends...

either here or IRL, its quite another to create those personal problems with others in the Lounge and then ask others to choose sides. I have no fucking clue what is going on, but I really don't want to be involved either.

[JackBeck]

9. I could care less as well.

But I'm sure all the insider public sniping will start up again tomorrow.

Those whose create those personal problems online in the Lounge and then recruit others to fight their battles have SERIOUS issues.

[HuskerDU]

10. I feel bad for whoever is having these problems.

Sometimes it is nice to be completely out of the loop.

[Connonym]

11. Life is much happier when one is oblivious

Seriously, I wouldn't know there's anything going on except everyone is posting that there's something going on. I still don't know what it's about and don't wanna know either. I likes my Lounge fun and light.

[JackBeck]

12. I have no clue about the major players

Nor do I give a shit.

But it's obvious that there's something going on and that's annoying and quite frankly intrusive to most of our ultimate DU experience.

[JackBeck]

13. In other words: KEEP IT OFF THE BOARD.

[Gormy Cuss]

50. There you go --finally said it : KEEP IT OFF THE BOARD!

Nearly everyone here has an email addy somewhere else. Take the drama there.

[theredpen]

23. I want to know

I have to pick a side an mercilessly flame the opposition, whoever that turns out to be. I have no independent will of my own!

[DS1]

25. You're a Red Sox and Patriots fan

and you hate the Yankees and Steelers

Happy?

[theredpen]

26. Until the Yankees and Steelers are finally exterminated, I cannot be happy!

Thank you.

P.S. Who do I like and hate in hockey?

[DS1]

28. You like the Bruins

Hate the Toronto Maple Leafs

You like the Celtics, and hate the Nicks

( I think )

[Marrah_G]

45. Easy

The bruins and the bruins.....

[Orsino]

16. I'm oblivious.

Whatever's going on, I'm not seeing it, except for this and one other meta-reference to some sort of drama.

I'll count myself lucky.

[NMDemDist2]

17. more Drama??? good grief

glad I'm not and never have been one of the 'cool kids' around here

I'm clueless and like it like that

:hi:

[Lilith Velkor]

18. You can always retreat to the honest hostility of GD

where everybody hates everybody. :grouphug:

[NewJeffCT]

20. nice post Hitler

just kidding.

I guess since I didn't choose a candidate for Primary Wars 2003/04 or for 2007/08, I've avoided most of the acrimony in GD over the years.

[Lilith Velkor]

46. Candidate threads are mainly GDP

BO-ring! :boring:

GD is a *much* more enlightened and versatile hatefest. :puffpiece:

[NewJeffCT]

47. back in 2003

there was no GDP

[Lilith Velkor]

48. There were no namby-pamby suburbanite twits, either

Maybe a few, but at least if they started with their pearl-clutching bullshit you could tell them to fuck off.

But anyway, it's almost 2008. Movin' right along...

[flvegan]

19. Well, I have no idea.

I hope amends can be made between all parties, and we can get back to serious bidness, like kittens and copycats.

[DS1]

21. Rec;d

Dearest Childish Fuckwads,

While this isn't addressed to many of you, obviously it's addressed to some of you. Most of you are well over 30, so quit the high school shit.

The only ones who give a fuck about you or your opinion of someone else are your fellow moronic shitbags.

Yours,
me

[Maestro]

24. I need to hang this on my office door

because of all the crap that comes to me as the result of adults in pissing matches. Man, I got work to do.

[LynneSin]

27. Oh lordie - I've been down that path and it frightens me

It's like a bunch of 3rd graders with the backstabbing and namecalling.

I try to avoid shit like this - if you don't like me put me on fricking ignore because I'm not going away.

And don't drag me into the middle of your shit if I happen to be friendly with people you don't like

nuff said and btw well said by the OP

[bullwinkle428]

29. But MAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH....SHE started it!!!!

:silly: :silly:





:rofl:

[redqueen]

30. I barely noticed there was another to-do going on.

I'm oblivious...

[Jimbo S]

32. Are you talking to me?

I don't see anyone else here.

[porphyrian]

33. I can get everyone pissed at me if that would help. -n/t

[Skittles]

34. I had to put a lot of Loungers on IGNORE

too many drama kings/queens who think everyone gives a f*** about their inane business

[fizzgig]

35. i wound up doing the same

makes things a lot more pleasant here more me

....i hope this doesn't show up as ignored :D

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Hey! I'm No Drama King

Or queen. I'm just self-centered!
The Professor

[grace0418]

36. As per usual, I have no idea what's going on. I guess the upside of having my posts ignored

is that I also am never a part of the drama either.

[MissMillie]

37. there's drama?

wow... I totally missed it.

I'm glad though. I hardly have the energy for getting through the holiday, let alone any drama....

[Lex]

38. Doggone it! I missed out on what happened AGAIN.

Usually Lounge dramas are followed up by a bunch of people getting 'disappeared.' Then I'm all :wtf:

[Arugula Latte]

41. I never know what's going on ...

Color me clueless. Well, maybe it's better that way. :)

[terrya]

39. I steer, far, far, far away from that stuff.

I have enough drama in my life, thank you.

I'm just glad you accepted me as a friend on Facebook. Thank you again.

:hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. when so many humans interact there is bound to be drama.

its your choice to not get involved and hit hide thread.

[Bucky]

43. Hey, Jack, have you ever seen the Mississippi?

[Sock Puppet]

44. This is pretty humorous.

I swear to God I still remember you as being one of the big flame-fanners in one or more of the other recent Lounge bullshit blowups.
All you're doing by posting this thread is trying to insinuate yourself into another Lounge "situation". It's transparent and pathetic. :eyes:

[billyskank]

49. We need a periodic Lounge jihad.

The Lounge society gets old and stale, and needs the regular upheavals so that we can emerge stronger than before. It's the eternal cycle of Lounge renewal.

[DS1]

Your post

makes me want to 'shop Skinner over The Architect from the Matrix

[billyskank]

53. Do it.

[no name no slogan]

51. Could somebody pls PM me

so I know what sides are where?


KTHXBYE

[BlueIris]

52. This is a very curious thread.

The meanness in here is insane. Enjoy continuing the drama, kids.
