Have there been any documented cases of Du'ers who have lost their minds

[raccoon]

trying to figure out which forum to post a message to?

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Yes, LynneSin. In a previous life, she was Janet Reno. It's very sad.

[LynneSin]

3. whatever you say Karl Rove

:eyes:

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. Lost their minds BECAUSE of DU, or otherwise?

Also, what do you mean by "lost their minds"?

This post has me real curious now LOL. :hi:

[raccoon]

7. That they had so much difficulty deciding which forum to post to that

they were unable to function, at least for a while. :-)


edited for spelling.

9. Ohhh, I misread...

When in doubt, post to the lounge...that's what I do, anyway.:)

[Bertha Venation]

4. Oh. I thought you meant just lost their minds.

Yours truly, 1986 - 87. :hi:

[NewJeffCT]

5. I lost my mind way before I joined DU

so, I don't really count

[siligut]

6. DU helps me keep my sanity.

Well, at least comparatively.

[Dr. Strange]

13. That's true.

We keep siligut's sanity in a jar next to the moderators' hot tub.

[siligut]

14. Who are these "We"?

Once again, I am on the outside looking in. At least my sanity has a nice view.

[Dr. Strange]

16. I'm using "we" in the general sense of everyone.

But in a more specific sense, it's really Skinner, Midlo, and taterguy.

[siligut]

17. No wonder they keep me by the hot tub.

Bunch of pevs, well except for Skinner.

[Deep13]

8. Why? Have you found one? nt

[raccoon]

10. No, but oftentimes I rack my brain as to whether to post here or in one of the

special interest forums.

[sarge43]

11. And there's a way to tell if we had any to begin with?

I remember primary season at DU-P.

[rug]

12. Not many but there are regular weekly threads from people who have lost their keys.

[Brother Buzz]

15. Kinda, sorta... Skinner et al. resorted to contacting local police to help a DUer....

who was falling of the edge of the earth. I won't mention names, but happy to report the event did not end poorly.

[LeftyMom]

18. Uh, there was one who was kinda batshit at the time, posting things and then swearing somebody else

did. I'm still not sure if she was having blackouts or forgetting things or just plain lying, not that I much care either way. She eventually got b& when she launched a shitpile of personal attacks at two mods who, in her paranoia, she thought were out to get her banned. Self-fulfilling prophecy, gotta love it.

[Lil Missy]

19. Yes. I am barking fucking mad.

Or something like that...

[Jamastiene]

20. I just post wherever and let the mods move it wherever they want it to go.

That's what they do if you post it in the wrong spot. I gave up trying to guess the right spot. I suck horrendously at it and the mods know what they are doing. They know what they want better than I do anyhow. That much is for sure. :P

Lately, I just post everything in the Lounge or GLBT. Venturing into the rest of DU is like walking down the mean streets with wads of cash sticking out of your pockets. I swear I think those people over in GD are escapees from an experimental psychological warfare super soldier training camp. I KNOW those people in GD: P are escapees from an experimental psychological warfare super soldier training camp.

I lost my mind long before I came to DU though. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :P

[MineralMan]

21. I lost mine once, but it turned up under the bed.

[nomorenomore08]

22. How can one lose that which one never possessed?

:shrug:

[ThomCat]

23. No. When in doubt, post it here.

The mods will move it someplace else if the whim strikes them. :P
