Have you ever seen a thread you suspect is an inside joke and slam against another DUer...

1. How can they know?
I know I am usually completely clueless about Lounge Drama. Hell, I don't even know who a lot of people are anymore since the name changes.

2. I'm out of the drama loop, for now, thank God!
But I can usually tell, maybe because it's happened to me in the past, when a thread is probably intended as a dig or insult about another DUer.

20. Yes. My own clique of geeks and freaks and a few hit and runs.
I think DU'rs are afraid to respond to any of my other threads because of the thread virus factor.

and maybe he did a name change and I didn't catch it. Nice kid.

most of the time I am oblivious, usually I don't respond, sometimes I think it's funny and join in, sometimes I join with something intended to throw a wrench in the deal, sometimes I actually defend

but mostly I am just oblivious

46. Not to my knowledge, but I have definitely failed to miss satire or irony and respond
way too seriously or defensively to a post that was making fun of the very thing it portended to assault, thereby making a complete jackass of myself.

Most of them are hilarious, "I post on INSECUREPHOTOFUCK.COM" for example, but that could have been against sniffa, too. I'm so insecure I can't even tell.

I would respond to a post, not knowing it was an attack---and then all that crap ceased to matter anymore.

51. I've probably alienated my share that way, too
But you know what? It's just a single post. Chances are I was joking around and being the general all around asshole I've always been around here.

Some people need to just lighten up and get some hobbies. Or else they should just kiss my big fat white butt. I can't decide which one. Right now I'm leaning toward hobbies, but it could go either way. :shrug:

57. Yeah, I respond to anything that takes my fancy
and have received outraged pms from people who hate the OP or the subject, asking me how I could do such a thing. I just don't have time for that. It's like elementary school for someone to expect me not to respond to their most hated. I can't keep up with who hates who or even who is in what clique.

It's just a message board for crying out loud.
