Question For Chickenshits (Like Me): What Do You Do When You Want To Post In GDP, But Are Afraid?

[Dinger]

Where do you post? Do you just leave for a while? Do you try pm'ing like-minded DUers?

[OhioChick]

1. First.....

Practice deep breathing exercises. :)

[Dinger]

2. I'll Have To Try That (nt)

[Exilednight]

3. Dive in head first.

4. You have a right to post a thread as much as anyone else.

Don't let the bullies bully you.

5. You Could Send It To Me If Ya Want. I Ain't Scared Of Nuttin LOL

[Arkansas Granny]

14. I have noticed that and I appreciate your bravery.

:hi:

6. You write your piece ...

... you take a deeeeeeep breath, you hit post.

You then dye your hair, change your name, and move to another country.

:rofl:

Only kiddin' - no matter WHAT you post in GDP, you're going to get a lot of :yourock: and probably an equal number of :wtf: - and the requisite number of :crazy: - just for balance.

7. LOL Nance, Luv Ya!

"You then dye your hair, change your name, and move to another country."

Funny as hell:rofl:

11. I'm so glad I made you laugh ...

... Senor Dingolerro. And what is your new address in Portugal, if I might inquire?"

:rofl:

8. Just remember that half these people appeared out of thin air with this primary season

and very very soon, they shall return from whence they came.

[Dinger]

9. I Agree 100%

:)

[emilyg]

16. Exactly.

[blogslut]

10. It's a tra-a-a-ap!

Back out now! Get back in the car! There's lions!

12. From another chickenshit, I finally took the plunge and have found

that if I post an honest, respectful question or answer to another post, any replies that I receive are mostly of the same kind. I have gotten very few obnoxious responses and most of those tend to be from posters that I recognize as being obnoxious to anyone who appears to disagree with them.

[Raine]

13. Just do it

:-)

[frogcycle]

15. I went away for a while

then started lurking, and then decided oh what the hell. Now I just post whatever I want and add most of the respondents to my ignore list. Problem is, it seems that DU has gotten really dead of late. Like only 3 or 4 active posters - has anyone else noticed that? huh? Hello? is this thing on?

:rofl:

[emilyg]

17. Hello, hello - ici Canada

[Blue_In_AK]

18. I head for the Photo Group...

It's safe and warm there.

[Mojambo]

19. I cut myself. n/t

[frogcycle]

20. you post silly shit like this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4866443&mesg_id=4866443

and then just watch the fun, stir it up a little every now and then

It's kind of like looking into a tropical fish tank with fish swimming all over - when they calm down, you just slap the glass and watch them dash frantically back and forth :rofl: *


* I would never do that - I treat my fish with respect. I've got two silver dollars that are over 20 years old. Had three until six months ago - my wife's great-nephews pulled the shit I describe above and one bashed himself so hard he suffered internal injuries and died. But here at DU - it's exactly the formula. maybe they will self destruct if prodded enough!
