I placed myself on a self-imposed "DU Blackout"
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 02:35 PM by CatWoman
as well as a cable news blackout.

I don't know this place anymore.

I'm nervous enough about the upcoming election, but I fear if I dwell on DU too much, I'll have a heart attack.

GD2004 is not for the faint of heart.

I try mostly to stick to LBN. And sometimes the Lounge.

But GD2004 has become a cesspool

3. I need to walk away from DU for a few days myself
all the "Chicken Little/sky is falling/the election is over" threads are getting tedious. I stay away from Cable News except for Keith Olbermann. Jon Stewart is my sole source of political news these days.

It's good to see you back, CatWoman.

4. I stuck with it, though I tried to stay away.
Take heart--our side is winning.

Believe it.

5. I should have taken "a self-imposed "DU Blackout""
But I stupidly stuck around and pissed people off. BN and the Lounge are SOOOOOOOO much safer for those with short tempers who don't like getting in fights with their own side.

7. Kind of did the same myself...
At least limiting my posting in some forums. Why argue when the elction is so important?

8. I've been hiding in the Lounge lately
Don't think I'll be coming out any time soon (though I'm sticking my toes into the Meeting Room). :scared:
