There are certain times when it is just best to get off DU because
the whole place is going batshit over some stupid, meaningless bullshit story.

This is one of these times.

G'night all. I love you every one, but I really hope you have it out of your systems by tomorrow.

1. You mean the election fraud? That's not batshit at all. That's very serious. nt

19. Yes, of course.
I certainly wasn't protesting voting-machine stories. That's the kind of story we should be spending our time on.

I wouldn't even have minded a few Special Olympics stories, But GD and GD-P were just overrun with them.

8. I agree - it ain't gonna change - DU is DU
.
.
.

hanging around in different forums helps sometimes, like the mild ones - Gardening, DIY, Books, Rural/Farm and so on

But if ya wanna mess around in GD, LBN or the Lounge, etc.,

- ya better have a pretty tough hide . .

That's my Canuk Observations anyhoo .

6. I miss all the fun
I come here for the stupid, meaningless bullshit stories.

Well, the comments about the stupid, meaningless bullshit stories, actually. They're always edifying.

I was busy being called sexist by someone who doesn't understand sausage. What did I miss?

9. It takes skill to use the words "sexism" and "sausage" in the same sentence and not be offensive.
I bet you're a writer.

12. See?
Your giant intellect once again cuts to the heart of the matter.

Actually, I'm a full-time love goddess, but, in my spare time, I teach The Anatomy Of Encased Meats ................

7. I was thinking the same thing
I don't post often but I read every day. I think lately everything has gone nuts. To maintain my sanity I think I need to stay away for a while as well!

10. Not the whole place though.
This story is proof that GD is a much saner place than GDP.

... whenever there are lots of threads on the same subject, should log off now, I agree. Right after they post the sarcastic cliched "Skinner! We need a forum for XYZ"

18. I OD'd on nonsense about Barack's bowling score.
Every other thread was about how he had taken down his whole Presidency with one dumb, unguarded comment. It was like walking onto the set of Fox News.
