I know this might be a meta issue, but meta doesn't exist anymore, so I have a question:
Is GD now a place to create current DU events?
(Please note the title of my OP was IMO)
I'm not going to post much here, I am not looking to fight. I just want to understand what the heck is going on. this place is weirder than usual.

(39,343 posts)Some people like to feel morally and intellectually superior to others and arguing about little things as though they are big things does the trick for them.
Notice how I haven't mention any people or factions here. Plus we're a damn huge group of people, we're never going to agree.

GD is like the snake that eats its own tail, throws it up, curses itself for poor judgment, then decides that hunger trumps better judgment, and thinks, "well, maybe just a little nibble."
