5. At first I was appalled by what I started, now..... I am slowly liking it
I feel POWERFUL... even though I was called heavy-handed.

4. Well quick, you'd better go fan it
You just can't let a good GD flamewar die for lack of attention. Quick! Quick! Run! Run!

9. That topic is too heated to try to be funny
I have posted in a few of the threads concerning the whole mess, but too many people are freaking out. And just because I said something that pointed to being open for discussion, I was basically called a troll...lol.

13. I think I'll go start an anti-immigration thread now, and maybe alter
one about how those crazy gays cost us the 2004 election... (btw -- THAT'S the thing that made me finally stop lurking and actually join DU!).

18. LOL...what did you do? Rub two sticks together?
It doesn't take much to start a flamewar in GD. Even paleolithic tools work just fine.

22. Well, I made a little comment about communion in GD ...
You were there. It wasn't a flamewar exactly, but it did provoke an awful lot of disagreement.

I think for today's fun I'm going to start the following thread in GD:

The Earth is round. Discuss.

:popcorn:
