You can't even post innocous comments in GD anymore
The issue trolls show up and scream over why it's innocous, instead of being about the ONLY TRULY IMPORTANT ISSUE.

7. You are correct. It is worse than in past times.
It used to be that most people wanted a good discussion, and the people who got harassed were the trolls and flamethrowers. Now the trolls and flamethrowers run things, and those who want a good discussion get run over. The issue cops are the worse--they should have an autobot post "This belongs in the Lounge" in every new thread, just to save time.

8. Why do you think
I tend to stay out of GD?

"Why are we even discussing this? This is clouding the REAL issue-the only issue we should be worried about!" (paraphrased obviously but one of the nicer ways it's been said to me.)

13. I've met them on a few occasions.
And I remember that thread quite well. I had a few chuckles from it.

9. It's ridiculous
Every time I come here, I sort of skulk by the open door to GD as if I were a teenager sneaking out of the house again. Or at least that's what it feels like.

14. Christ, GD has turned into "All Hillary, All the TIME!"
So many "inevitable" memes and poll results. GOD. It's utterly depressing.
