Who is the funniest person on DU?
You can't say yourself.

I vote for Fixated though. Sorry, no one else is funny.

Up until I post this, we have the same amount of posts. Is that really what you want to say to your soul mate?

You don't have to be popular to get votes. I voted for myself, and no one even knows who I am.

10. These threads inevitably lead to hurt feelings...
along with the "Which DUer would you want to meet?" threads, and the "Who's the hottest DUer?" threads. The other day, there was a "Which DUer would you want to meet?" thread. I try so hard to not even CLICK on those kinds of threads, but despite my better judgement, I did anyway. And guess what? There were lots of people I thought were my "friends" on DU who posted big lists of names and didn't mention me. It's hurtful, which is why these threads suck so badly.

11. I never get mentioned either
Oh well. I'm me and say what I want to say and if everyone has me on ignore, that's their problem.
Anyway, Cat, you do contribute a lot to this board so don't feel bad.
I usually don't participate in such threads because I know that I'd offend whoever I didn't list.

I'm ignoring you, so I didn't read your post.

Just kidding... :hi: I hate these threads as well, Nikia.

I hate even more the "hi, I've never posted anything useful on DU, but here's my pic and I think we should make a calendar" threads. :mad:

13. i missed the thread that you are refering to, Cat
but i do usually avoid those threads too. we have a plethora of funny people at DU who display different types of humor. it would be impossible for me to choose a funniest.

(p.s. i'd be estatic to meet you in person, Cat :pals: )

25. That's why it's good not to list them, eh? :)
You know, I didn't post the post above because I was really all that HURT-hurt. I have many wonderful friends on DU and a pretty high degree of name recognition (and some haters too, but anyone with strong opinions will have those and I've made my peace with that.) Anyway, you know, it's not like I'm universally ignored.

And I didn't post it so people would say, "Aww, we love you Cat!" (although it was very nice of you).

I posted it because I truly believe these threads are tactless and mean. I got mentioned on the "Hottest Ladies of DU" thread, and for half a second, I was actually pleased about it! Then I THOUGHT about it--and I wasn't pleased, for two reasons...

1. It totally reduces me to what I look like, and devalues any intelligent insight I might have added to this board (few and far between, I'm sure, but it must have been in there somewhere!)

2. There are lots of other women, intelligent, progressive, wonderful, lovely, kind, spirited, and yes, BEAUTIFUL women DUers who weren't mentioned at all. My momentary happiness was immediately tainted by the knowledge that someone else was getting their feelings hurt from that thread.

Fuck that, I say. We are all worthy in some way or another. The Right seeks to divide us. Why add negativity from the inside?

I love every one of you. :loveya:

Cat

I don't particularly care, but that doesn't change the fact that some DUers might. I think we should excersise more caution when threads like that one are posted.

49. >>> Threads Like This Make Me VERY UNCOMFORTABLE...
They make me uncomfortable when I'm "forgotten"... and they make me uncomfortable to be "singled out" as being more-special than someone else (particularly those who where forgotten).

It's nice to make friends and have friends and to yuck-it-up and be funny... but my online friends know who they are. I don't need to make them feel more special with a public acknowledgment of my feelings toward them... nor do I need that in return.

Popularity Threads SUCK!!

40. I haven't been here long
so I don't really know that many posters and nobody really knows me.

But I come here for myself, to touch base with other like-minded people and not feel so badly about the sorry state of this country. This place gives me hope, that there are people out there that really care and are willing to do something about changing the way things are. Who debate serious issues and laugh about things so we don't plunge into total dispair.

Gads! That was pretty heavy for a "who's the funniest DUer" question.
I need a hug!
