or maybe not, since I am not always that smart here either. But I think that what the poster was saying was that the Lounge is for silliness, laughter, and going all the way to the insane. They didn't want to hear about the things that they are running to the Lounge to get away from....like some of the insanity in GD (General Discussion). Don't worry about it, there are a lot more people who are willing to help you than to condemn you....and I am not sure that the poster was condemning either, it may have been said in joking. You never know. A suggestion for next time, get into a thread that is already opened by someone else on the subject, and just ask there. It's easier.
You will find most people here are ready to help you, some people will always be contrary (learn to use your Ignore feature), and some will just ignore you. Well, that is as long as you don't start spouting right wingnut ideas, which will get you flogged, then stoned, as well it should. Concentrate on the "most people".
