Poll question: when you stumble upon a train-wreck thread do you:
If its on GD - and a topic I care about - count me in as a get sucked in. If it is on GD - a topic I don't know much about or care about - I just pass quickly by. If it is on Election Reform and Bev Harris name arises - I generally either do a single post - or read it thoroughly (cause I can't help myself.) If it is on GDP - I tend to not open OR read it thoroughly (cause I can't help myself.) In the lounge - more than likely read it thoroughly (cause I can't help myself) I just realized I have DU rubbernecker syndrome. What about you?

yes - but on political thread trainwrecks.... that stirring
might be with the OPer or agitating the OPers position. But yes... stir the turd describes it.

4. I got sucked into one last weekend in GD
went from glued to - to stuck-in to .... but I have to admit to a wee bit of rubbernecking on that one, right now.

3. Keep compulsively hitting refresh
Yeah, it's definitely a rubbernecker type of thing.

sometimes I laugh - sometimes I just shake my head in disbelief ... "no s/he didn't..."!
