Have you ever stepped into a thread, not knowing there was personal history behind it?

Poll question: Have you ever stepped into a thread, not knowing there was personal history behind it?

I hate when that happens. x(

[Inchworm]

1. hundreds of times

I can't be reading ALL those postes and other threads.. so.. I just stick my neck out usually.

:crazy:

[Lil Missy]

3. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

:)

[BarenakedLady]

2. All the damn time.

[Lil Missy]

4. I've never suffered any repercussions though.

As far as I know .... :tinfoilhat:

I hope you haven't either. :pals:

[BarenakedLady]

8. What really sucks

Is when you are friendly with parties on both sides of the drama.

I'm all about the love!

:grouphug:

[Lil Missy]

11. Yeah. I see much of that IRL too. I just ignore it. I'm too old for

Jr. High School and taking sides.

[GOPisEvil]

30. Have I been there!

[Left Is Write]

32. Me too.

[Kali]

5. I have the feeling I'm always doing that.

I don't hate it, but it makes some of my posts seem lame. Of course that is normal for me anyway so...I figure if they aren't going to keep it all private or bother explaining - well what can I do?

[Lil Missy]

9. That's how I feel. Deal with it privately.

And I don't mind someone taking me into confidence with frustrations behind the scenes. That's just blowing off steam, and I consider that healthy.

And honestly, I've never been taken advantage of in that sense.

:hi:

[XemaSab]

16. What the fuck are you doing here?

I thought I told you to fuck off, but no, you're still here posting your shit all over the lounge. :banghead:

[Lil Missy]

17. You're teasing.

:)

[XemaSab]

18. LIES!

:o

[Lil Missy]

19. I'm an asshole like that.

:P

[XemaSab]

20. .

[Kali]

21. yeah will shit is my thing, MAN

have a crappy (ha) cell phone pic of some dung ecology:


:hurts: :smoke: :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Too many times to count...

:-(

[av8rdave]

7. Oh, yeah!

[Lil Missy]

10. The poll seems to be very skewed to "Yes". So, I'm not imagining things.

[rucky]

12. I suspect this might be one of them.

[Lil Missy]

13. Why do you say that? I'm not at war with anyone??

:shrug:

[rucky]

14. Because I just stepped into the thread, not knowing your

personal history about stepping into a thread not knowing the personal history behind it. :crazy:

and I was thinking more of inside jokes than wars, but there's plenty of those too, now that you mention it.

[Lil Missy]

15. I understand. Sorry for the confusion.

I'd rather remain oblivious to such things.

The silly inside jokes, well, that's what the Lounge is for. They amuse me.

:)

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Not so much lately, but a few years back, Ooh, boy.

Not fun. Not fun at all. Then you get angry PMs from people who think you're being an asshole when you had no idea what it was about.

[TZ]

23. Well if you posted more interesting stuff that wouldn't happen!

:P (sorry lil missy...a bit of an inside joke)

[Midlodemocrat]

24. I've tried. And failed.

[Lil Missy]

27. I've never recieved an angry PM. But I went on a few Ignore lists, I'm sure.

[graywarrior]

25. Fuck yeah

[fizzgig]

26. plenty of times

but not so much of late

[AwakeAtLast]

28. One of the many reasons that I read much more than I post

Even though, I've still had it happen to me.

[Lil Missy]

29. kick just because

[Left Is Write]

31. Many, many, many, MANY times.

I have innocently stumbled into plenty of threads that were not what they appeared to be.

[Liberal_in_LA]

33. 'not what they appeared to be'. That's a diplomatic way of describing things. lol

[Lil Missy]

34. Ignorance is bliss.

:)

[Lil Missy]

35. Not a single "No" vote. 100% "Yes". This must be a DU record.

And, thank you for being good sports and not naming names.

I'm just amazed.

[Lil Missy]

36. no shit

I just stepped on myself.

:eyes:

[Orrex]

37. Yes I have, but even more embarrassing...

was the time I sent a really ham-fisted PM without knowing the back-story.

I felt pretty lousy about it when I found out...

[Lil Missy]

39. Yeah. I always remember my father's advice. There's 3 sides to every story.

There's your side, their side, and what really happened. It's all a matter of perception.

I love my dad. :)

[TreasonousBastard]

38. All the time, but I don't care...

because if people want to use this place for their own personal dramas....

fuck 'em

it's not my problem

[Lil Missy]

40. Oh, puh-leeze! Using online to air personal grievances is beyond excuse.

Deal with that behind the scenes, and don't drag others into it.

I can't stress this enough.

[Lil Missy]

41. Not a single "No" vote. Whoo boy!

I do think most people are polite about accidentally stepping in the land mines. I just didn't know there were so many! This has been eye opening.

[Lil Missy]

42. C'mon, you know you have.

[Lil Missy]

43. It came up again.

[backtoblue]

44. when you're new it happens daily...

:dunce:
