I encourage anyone who wants to help DU out, make a raid into GDP and dilute the stupidity
Humor and surrealism is better than the rancor and spite.

right now, there are several freeper and h=44 talking point threads.
They are doing their part to mess with dem unity in the fall.

You guys can cut through that seriousness, using your own special brand of DU humor.
We should not let the orcs and trolls spoil the community we inhabit.

Thank you, homies!
I will try not to come kill your threads!

We change our tactics to suit our moods. ;)

Enjoy a nice relax from the fray!

2. I would advise anyone foolish enough to plan such raid...
to think twice, lest they be torn apart by rabid jackals.

10. I am a fool, no argument there, sir. Tilting at windmills that are actually buzzsaws!
But I have seen it work, with hit and run splendor.

It makes one person, here and there, remember their own humanity for a moment.
A fart in a fistfight, or a slap with a cod.

Last night there were some spurts of lovely gooey Loungelove.
Made me laugh.

20. The windmills are more than just buzzsaws....
they are acid coated buzzsaws that shoot snakes at you, and the snakes have arms and in those arms they carry laser guns that shoot razor blades.

Thing Is, It's Not Even About Debating At All Anymore, Even In A Heated Way.
It's kinda degenerated to this overwhelmingly immature and almost beyond irrational nonsense. It's too much a waste of time even for me! LOL

That's why I'm in the Lounge though. You all are so much cooler. :)

But there's no post rational enough for it. To me, this lolcat kind of sums up how I feel right before posting in there:

28. Thanks turtlensue - I think interjections work better than starting threads, but....
then you would have to read the stuff.

This is social experimentation, so I am just trying things and watching.
The freepers are out, and over a dozen "outrages" straight from the rightwing front Hillary is 44 website.

http://www.hillaryis44.org/

This is not DUers devolving on their own, this is invasion of the operatives.
They are smearing obama, but also making Hillary supporters look really unhinged.
A spiral of crap.
If we care more about the future of this site and this country than we do about trivia, it is worth considering solutions.


Thank you for the try!

6. Perhaps it is time.
Perhaps our individual efforts are not enough. Yet if we band together, if we form one unified front, perhaps we can cut through the madness.

We need leadership. Guerilla tactics just aren't enough.

... but don't look at me, I suck at it. If whoever gets chosen as leader needs help writing a stirring speech to give as we give our last breath in the battle for sanity, then I can help. But as far as actually leading... I kinda suck at it. :P

16. i hear you. stirring speeches doesn't have effect- I have tried, too. Hence a call for humor.
Really, like parachuting in the Marx brothers, instead of MLK.

The only way anyone might listen is if it were Skinner Himself.
Short of that, it is subversion of the mood of seriousness itself that might inject perspective.

An experiment in dissolving moods of mob mentality.

Scientific!

25. It is not a place for the timid. But a quick flower in the gun.
They would rather party and eat and dance, too.

It is turning into freeperville there, they may come here into the Shire before too long!

Consider me Gandalf in this analogy.
Pass the pipe.;)

32. I think that was more a flamebait that didn't take off. Opposite of the effect I was looking for.
And it only attracted fellow loungers eating popcorn, and no one came.

Maybe I should leave DU for awhile, after all this.
i don't know.


They are already creeping into GD, and then they will hit the shire.
This is a certainty.
Free Republicrat Underground.
Meh.

But I was furious seeing that.

I hope that one is gone, also.
