I know... I was joking. I saw that a lot of people didn't like the name. I guess I should've put *blink, blink* after that sentence - as in... really?

I like the name "general discussion" better too. It's nicer.

but I would never bother to say anything about it.

I guess that's why I've been here as long as I have. I also recognize that my personal quarrels with someone are my own here. I realize I may say things in a moment of anger and regret those words, and others may too - or they may not - but in either case, holding grudges, trying to gang up on others, not letting go of perceived insults... I guess those are all things I save for my private life, not my online one. LOLOL.

ultimately the people who participate on DU in every capacity, have brought value to my life. So, I try to go with the flow.
