Perhaps you should read the room and to be aware of exactly what the Lounge is for, Bob.

Here is someone who's not a prolific DU poster (with a little over 2,000 posts) and who's not a creator or founder of DU and obviously hasn't read DU's Lounge rules and why it's actually here:

Statement of Purpose
Our social forum. Relax with your friends and talk about off-topic stuff. The Lounge is supposed to be a friendly, welcoming place for everyone. No cliquish behavior. No drama. No political arguments. No whining about DU.



I'm not going to let them push you around, Debbie. You're content helps people and continues to do so.

Some click on threads that will lift their spirits. Others will share their angst or seek to comfort those struggling.

That's entirely up to each individual DUer at any given time. Outside of the terms of service, nobody should attempt to sway how others choose to post here.

Humor existed in the trenches of World War II. There's room for lighter fare here in the Lounge always. The world isn't without tragedies and hardship at any point. We could just live a glum existence forever, but who benefits?

Back to the regularly scheduled programming...

But your statement really spoke to me.

If Bob looked at the DU's Lounge rules, they would see it's meant not to be too serious here and of course members can be serious if they choose to be. We share off the wall jokes, puns, movies, music, trivia and whatever else here. It sounds like Bob has never been in the Lounge before.


Thank you!

Your reply was on point as well. I hope Bob has a better understanding now.

"saying the wrong thing" is what I would be famous for.
(Apparently, I just proved it! LOL)

Music, movies, television, and theater. I can do it all.

However, the country doesn't need to worry, I doubt I will ever the the chance!
