I slept most of yesterday. What did I miss?

[yvr girl]

Anything good?

[ret5hd]

1. oh man, You MISSED IT! yesterday was the BEST!

i'll let others tell you about it.

[Kerrytravelers]

2. Trolls crawling through the primortal ooze from under their rocks.

[El Fuego]

3. We smoked the trolls one after another

It was epic.

[yvr girl]

4. I would have missed that even if I was awake

I always miss the trolls.

[JimmyJazz]

5. DS1 started a flamewar about a smilie.

[GOPisEvil]

6. That was hysterical!

[yvr girl]

7. Only Slice could pull that off

BTW - :hi:

[JimmyJazz]

10. ...with the assistance of his man, matcom, aka

FLAME-WARRIOR!

[Misunderestimator]

8. Yeah, that was pretty amusing.

[yvr girl]

9. Alright, I need to see this

Link please.

[Misunderestimator]

13. ...

Edited to removing the offending link...

:yoiks:

[yvr girl]

15. OMG - the things that start wars never cease to amaze me

Some people are WAY too sensitive.

[gardenista]

16. .

[Misunderestimator]

17. ?

[gardenista]

19. .

I told you yesterday I would't tolerate the wink-wink-nudge-nudge, and I mean it.

Lay off me.

[Misunderestimator]

20. WTF? Oh man...

:eyes:

[yvr girl]

22. Sorry, I asked for the link

jeez.

[Misunderestimator]

24. Yeah, sorry I provided it, I guess...

:shrug:

Though... this is pretty amusing.

[miss_kitty]

30. now you know!

:hi: hope you slept well. :)

[JimmyJazz]

23. Hey - person with intimate knowledge of the rules:

it's against the rules to tell someone that you've alerted on their post. I'm just saying.

[gardenista]

25. Thanks for letting me know. I'll edit. nt

[DS1]

63. I have to ask

Did you sleep at all last night, or did you spend the dark hours hitting refresh waiting for Misunderestimator to post something you think is about you?

Talk about ego. Sheesh.

[JimmyJazz]

18. Look - I started it - I mentioned the thread, not MisU

I think if you are going to stalk someone, it should be me. Okay?

[gardenista]

21. JJ, I'm not a stalker, and you know it.

You didn't provide a link. But now that you mention it, yeah, you probably could have left it alone. Kinda disappointing.

[yvr girl]

26. I asked for the link, don't blame anyone

I thought it was a flame war about a smilie. As I am known to be able to start flame wars about the most ridiculous subjects (by accident) I thought it would be amusing. Don't start fighting again. It's really not worth it.

[gardenista]

29. On the contrary, I think it is worth it.

Otherwise I wouldn't waste my time.

[yvr girl]

33. It's also against the rules to drag a fight from one

thread to the next. It makes the lounge a less happy place.

[gardenista]

36. I'm not the one that did that. nt

[yvr girl]

37. Really?

That would be one view.

[JimmyJazz]

32. I completely agree. It is NOT worth it.

Sorry, yivver.

[JimmyJazz]

27. yvr girl asked what happened. I told her. In my mind it was a

ridiculous flame war. You are defending someone who was completely disruptive when they were here, shutting down the board on any topic on which they disagreed. Then, when banned, that person went to another site and totally bashed all of us, including the admins. If you want to defend that person, go ahead - but you won't get a lot of support from the people who were the subject of those attacks.

[gardenista]

35. If that interpretation makes you the most comfortable, go with it

it seems to work for you.

I wasn't defending anything but the rule against bashing former members, any former member, who isn't here to defend themselves. Some of the people you call friends have benefited from this rule after temporary bannings.

I think it's a good rule, and it's one that is flagrantly violated from time to time by a small group of Lounge users in order to reinforce themselves as members of some kind of little club.

It's disgusting, and I will continue to speak out against it, even if it makes me the target, as it did yesterday. I thought it was over, but apparently, for some of you, it is not.

[Misunderestimator]

38. Seems to be you who keeps fanning the flames.

You jumped in making assumptions... then you went after me... Didn't make any sense, except for the fact that you've had a chip on your shoulder since the "celebration" of tony's banishment. If you REALLY were interested in the people who bring up banned DUers, especially the ones that were referred to... why did you go after ME? I rarely have mentioned them.

Truly... I have much better things to do than discuss any one of them... but I'm still happy as hell that Cuban liberal is gone!

[gardenista]

44. Straw man. You know this isn't about CL.

The only reason I responded to you is that you found an opportunity to continue a flame thread for the *third* time, in order to celebrate your clever batting about of another DUer.

THAT is what this is about.

[Misunderestimator]

50. Sorry, bub... the only thing it could be about is CL

Cause he's the only one (banned Duer) I've talked about... and because you and I have ONLY had conversations about him. Go stalk someone else... PLEASE. :hi:

I'm really bored with the whole subject now... :bored:

[gardenista]

54. Hmm.. you can't respond intelligently so you resort to personal attacks.

I'm not a stalker.

If you're so bored with the whole subject, why have you found three opportunities to introduce the original thread into the lounge?

58. Is this a political board?

Some people wake up on the wrong side of the bed their entire life. If they don't bash others then they don't validate their standing in life. It's all about the mighty $$$ when it comes to who can say this or whom can say that. You didn't do anything wrong and it was very obvious that you were being attacked for your views.

We are all democrats aren't we? Why is it that some people have to post hate in order to belong to our party?

[gardenista]

59. Thanks, you're right, it's sort of ironic.

I'm curious about why you would say it has to do with $$$, but anyhow... Anyone who thinks I'm on some weird vengeance kick is welcome to use the search function and look at my post history. That is not what is going on here.

I merely have a distaste for the trashing of previous DUers, banned or otherwise. Whenever the subject comes up, I speak my mind. I did so last night, and have been belittled. I will not tolerate it, and I will continue to insist that the rules be enforced equitably. Why is that important to me? It's one of the basic elements of Democracy. I thought that was why we were all here.

[Old_Fart]

61. I speak my mind and I see hate

If someone points that out they get called a troll or a freeper and then someone goes after them and "they" all come in for the kill. When you take a look back at the old messages from several years ago you don't see hate or validation messages. I believe that some people are here because they want to push the real democrats off of the board.

[JimmyJazz]

62. Erm...who is "they?"

[Misunderestimator]

64. What? Are you calling me a basher? Are you saying I post hate here?

Whatever... this is just too funny.

[JimmyJazz]

39. So you are upset because someone was only banned

temporarily when someone else (an admitted troll, in case you were wondering) was banned permanently and you think it's because of favoritism. I KNOW differently.

[gardenista]

47. You're getting warmer.

This is certainly more related to favoritism than it is the banning of any troll.

[JimmyJazz]

52. So - what you are saying is that you disagree with the admins for

reinstating someone because they got caught up in the net of a troll? Do you think it might be SLIGHTLY possible that you don't have all the facts? Is it even remotely possible that there were some things going on behind the scenes that you know absolutely nothing about and that you are wrong in your assessment of the situation? Frankly, I trust the admins. in their decisions. I'm sorry you don't.

[gardenista]

55. Good tactic. nt

[DS1]

65. There's no rule about bashing former members, slick

[JimmyJazz]

12. It was only the sheer lunacy of it that made it amusing

talk about :wtf:

[jobycom]

11. Minnie

It's kinda hard to explain, but it was funny in context

[yvr girl]

28. That's one angry looking kitty

:scared:

[ltfranklin]

14. The Rapture...

But for some reason, only Orthodox Jews rose. Go figure.

[Ikonoklast]

31. Nothing much, really

Bush resigned saying that it was all a bad frat prank that got out of hand and that he was really, really sorry.

Jesus showed up at the Vatican and kicked the Popes' ass.

Sean Hannity outed himself on his show and is moving in with Jeff Gannon/Guckert.

Medical research discovered that drinking at least four Bass Ales a day for breakfast make you younger, smarter, and immortal.

North Korea found to actually be ruled by Dr. Ruth in drag.

I finally discovered the true reason of man's existence and our purpose in the Universe, but wasn't really impressed.

Just another day.

Go back to sleep.

[yvr girl]

34. You're right

it was a slow day. ;-)

[Ikonoklast]

42. Almost forgot the most important thing

Yesterday was my birthday and I'm still waiting for my present....:grr:

[yvr girl]

48. I'm so sorry

:*

[Midlodemocrat]

66. I am locking this.

This is the continuation of several other flame fest threads that were previously locked.

Remember, folks, the ignore feature is your friend.

Thank you.
