32. My Dog Will Protect Her Cat!
My doggie loves watching over his kitty sisters. He'll protect her's too. Then your dog can't eat her cats.

3. Yes, that pretty much sums it up.
There are some here who just troll to start a conflict.

They feed on the anger and flames.

Use the ignore function, it is your friend. I have someone who seems to follow me around responding to my posts, but I don't see a single one of them, because they are on my ignore list. So, they're just wasting their time, and no doubt think they're really getting the best on me because I don't respond back to them.

Fools. ;)

8. We can't even have a political discussion during this primary season because the
hate mongers have taken over this board. I really hate the fact that we let that happen. I will have to wait until we get one nominee and last night really fucked that up.

9. Only in GD-P. There, it's guaranteed.
Anywhere else, it's 50/50. Except in the Lounge. People are rarely flamed in the Lounge. Of course, when they are flamed in the Lounge, it's so terrible it's usually fatal.

12. got a link?
Can you back up your assertion with facts or are you just like the spin machine "some people say" crowd of sheep? Maybe you should do some research before posting, eh??

BTW, nice post Pol Pot ;)











:rofl::rofl::rofl: j/k, I was wondering the same thing myself :hi:

13. Welcome to DU! You'll be fine if you avoid certain flammable subjects, as follows
smoking
guns
douchebag anything
Olive Garden restaurants
circumcision
breast feeding
Natural vs. medicated childbirth
the word "affordable" in connection with health insurance
pornography
9/11 conspiracy
former DU heroes who have fallen from grace (e.g. Joe Wilson)

Did I miss anything?

26. Not sure what you mean by "gayism." I don't see anti-gay bias, or maybe it's too subtle for me...
You are right about Scientology, altho I don't read the threads my guess is that you have a tough time here if you are an adherent (not from me, I really don't have an opinion on Scientology).

25. I guess I meant besides the ongoing HRC/BO partisan threads.
YOu expect people to get hot under the collar with them. But flamewars over breast feeding, for example, are pretty strange...

14. Sure, but what difference does that make? Just post what you feel.
Don't let the idiots get to you but at the same time be ready to change your mind if a sufficiently strong argument is made that proves you incorrect.

17. I've had infero-like flames hurled at me over
minor stuff. Even in the lounge. Don't ever comment that you had a restaurant meal wrecked by someone's obnoxious child. There are DUers who will defend to the death a 3 year old's right to throw a plate at you.

If you post that the earth revolves around the sun, someone on DU will dispute it and call you an idiot for posting it.

35. Its the power of the internet.
Its the last refuge, so that a small minded person with a big mouth can sleep easy at night. 99% of the people you speak of would be very polite in a face to face discussion. Since they feel safe behind the screen, they tend to be really nasty. Then again maybe your just being to sensitive. ;)

44. Absolutely!
Even if you experienced something yourself,
first hand experience, it is questioned.

Or- the argument get sidetracked on another, less important
point made and the main point is

avoided like the plague.

There are a few here who are VERY good at doing just that.

Just try redirecting them to the main point- it won't work.
