3. why does it seem the 3 thread limit only changed smears
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 11:15 AM by FLDem5

14. smears have always been tag team, the 3 post rule just means they have to concentrate
the smear into fewer posts.
sort of like concentrated laundry detergent. Smaller space, stronger stuff.

4. Or we could rename GD:Primaries to GD:Plagiarism
I agree, this is a little out of hand.

6. Lisa0825 I have to agree
I have been told it gets better after a nominee is picked. BTW, I like your pics. I've been wanting to say that for some time. :)

10. Thanks :-)
I sure miss those audacious ladies.

Yes, it should get better after the nomination. I am torn between being excited that my Texas vote will matter, and just wishing it was over already!

IF the name of GD: P is to be changed to anything, then it must be this:

GD: Finally Understanding Stupid Stuff

GD: FUSS

9. Only if Obama's the victim.
Mock outrage against Clinton is all the rage, and has been for months.

15. I don't disagree with that either.
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 11:31 AM by Lisa0825
It definitely works both ways, but I think it is human nature that we get more pissed off when our candidate is the one that it's directed at. And I especially detest the seemingly daily "Stop picking on the Clintons" or "Obama supporters are the worst" posts. Clinton supporters only say that because they filter out all the nasty posts coming from the other side, and as I said it is human nature that we all do that.

16. I am OUTRAGED
that you think all these "OUTRAGED" posts are ridiculous.

:P

Personally, I think the forum should be renamed GD: FUBAR, cuz that's what it's going to turn into Tuesday night.

:hi:

23. If I had mod powers, I'd make a GD:P smack-talk forum...
This is what's needed - that plus admins who move the threads from GD:P to the Smack talk forum for folks who enjoy this crap.

And if they do, that's great. I'm just saying we should separate the two.
