14. I think it ebbs and flows.

Sometimes it cracks me up, sometimes it pisses me off. Usually it's a distraction from analog life. I feel like I'm talking to real people, which I am, although digitally.

Do you remember the meta discussion forum? Holy crap that was some crazy meanness in there. I never posted in it. People were incredibly hostile. Vicious. I was pleased the other day when some people said the lounge area is less cliquish than it used to be. I'm glad to hear that. I thought it was kind of cliquish when I first joined here, and it does seem less so now. I hate cliques & enjoy people who can laugh at themselves & have fun without excluding others.

As for the Bernie & HRC folks beating each other up, I don't play that game. Nor do HRC and Bernie. They may disagree on some policies, but they aren't so stupid as to do it on a personal level. I alternate back and forth on who I think is trolling to divide the party and who I think may actually be sincere in their hysteria, roflmao. Maybe 'cause I'm undecided as of now. I was and still am emotionally invested in President Obama and his family and will be for the rest of my life. I may be somewhat emotionally invested in another democratic party candidate or president, but probably not as much as the Obama family. I just really like them in every way. The really personal hostile posters here...I wouldn't want any of those folks as my friend, let alone representative.
