What made it worse than the fighting in the issues forums was that it was so personal. I hated it.

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek and should have noted that. My real point was that the personal insults were more contained and easier to ignore. Now they're everywhere and It saddens me

yes I do

Isn't there someone's ass you could kick and fix this?

I honestly thought the swooning for Obama was over-the-top sickening but these Bernie & Hillary fanboys and fangals are even worse

I don't get that way of looking at a politician.

and I think it says something about a lack of critical thinking skils

They aren't public servants, they're rock stars.

Very true.

Yet I remember.

I think? Skinner banned us from talking about chicken ever again.

Of course, he didn't say anything about turkeys.

It's true that I don't hang out here in the lounge so much but I recall the perspective of Loungeniers from DU #1 to be that GD was the shooting gallery and one needed good drugs, alcohol or a mental disability to venture forth from here to there. Perhaps I missed any Lounge bruha you are referring to but that's how I remember things. FWIW I recall this place as fun, filled with folks with a quick wit and an over-abundance of cat-lovers. Except for the changing of the guard, the Lounge doesn't appear to have changed at all to my perspective .....but then I am a dog owner so what would I know.

...and now for something completely different, here is a little number from a video game I am playing which has nothing to do with how I see GD-P....well maybe a little bit....ok maybe a lot.
