The DU Lounge
In reply to the discussion: Be honest. What are your DU peccadilloes? I was traumatized years ago. I was [View all]R B Garr
(18,241 posts)who trolled the Lounge. I posted the backstory of how disgusted I was with this behavior because I'm not about to be someone's victim and put up with a bad actor trolling me for his own shits and giggles. Last week, after realizing this creep was apparently emotionally crippled because his team choked in the '08 Super Bowl, then choked again in the '12 Super Bowl, and just because they managed to not choke again and were gifted a game, he used the opportunity to suckerpunch the names he collected on his troll thread and start trolling about "dominant" performance. LMAO. You can say whatever you want to about me for posting that, but it looks like the Lounge is not drama free after all, but I'm not about to take that shit without pointing it out. FUCK THAT.
Then, lets see. I obviously ran into someone from the now-apparent Lounge clique who hasn't given a crap about anything else I've posted here, but just wanted to question me as if he was put upon by something I posted, yet he didn't question the other drama threads that led to my posting. FUCK THAT.
Then going way back, watching the feminists get trolled with the pithy, anti-intellectual comments about jealousy and freedom of speech. The problem with those trolls is that feminists are a part of the Democratic party. Then there's watching the Black Americans get trolled in the same manner.
MAIN THING: There are so many backstories and vendettas to almost everything posted that there is little pure discussion. I guess I've started noticing it more since that META group was closed down. I tried to look at that Meta a few times, but it was a horror. Now it's spilled out into other forums, so it's really hard to ignore it. I can't believe there was a time I took some of those posters seriously and regret the time wasted trying to figure out where they were coming from when it's just perpetual vendettas.
Applegrove, you are a great poster and are very much appreciated. I always check your threads and thanks for posting!
