1. and one topic focus

Even threads that has nothing to do with Rick Warren are being hijacked.
There are other things occuring in the world ya know.

2. Indeed, Ma'am

Argument by hyperbole can be rum fun, but when people rely on it routinely, there is a danger they will come to forget they are employing a rhetorical device, and come to believe their exaggerations for effect are statements of cold fact....

8. Rooting for the coming purge

You could be next.

6. I hate to admit it but I lurk in there

I enjoy a good flamefest. But seriously I have not participated because I think it would just not be good for my health, as I have an opinion about it, and no matter what the opinion, there are a whole host of people to pounce on you for it. Its just better for me to be able to read some things and then just walk away from it.

9. I lurk there as well but..

I'm to the point that I am tired of reading the same fights, the same arguments, the same points over and over again.

10. I occasionally lurk there, but don't usually respond because I know

that regardless of what I say or how I say it, there will be a pack of rabid DU's ready to pounce. :scared:

I do feel, though, that I've lost an arm and a leg, because those two forums have often been very informative on various topics. Right now, they're primarily all Warren, all the time.

The Lounge is definitely the place I prefer to be right now.
