The lounge really has gone downhill.

What is with the new people constantly going into threads and cutting people down? Why are we putting down other's screennames? why are we so goshdarn rude? This site has gotten out of control and mods really need to take control of the rudeness of it. This site used to be such a nice place to hang out. Now you have to stand up for yourself in every thread you make because the asshats come along and either hijack the thread or will start being, well, asshats. And people wonder why we start going to other forums?

We have the mod alert feature for a reason, people. Use it. There are eleven of us, and thousands of all of you. We can't read every post.
The Lounge is what you make it. You have the control to help make it better. You want a better Lounge? Be pro-active and do something about it.

Be the change you want to see in the lounge --Ghandi (well, if he was a lounger) and if you can't do that either Mod Alert or live with it.

The problem with that Raddish is that the things that have made the Lounge less enjoyable for some of us aren't necessarily things that are against the rules and therefor don't seem worth mod-alerting. I think I have said it before--what seems to be lacking these days here is respect. It isn't just about the rudeness and the insults; those have always been here. You do it and Lord knows I have done my share. The difference is knowing when it is inappropriate and too often that simple little courtesy just doesn't exist. It took me taking a step back and realizing that I was starting to follow the same pattern to see how easy it is to lose that respect and I didn't like what I saw.
The Lounge is what the members make it. Unfortunately when the numbers grow to such a huge group the ones who seek the most attention are the ones who set the patterns. I've told other people who got upset here in the past that they didn't have thick enough skin to survive the Lounge. It took me quite a while to realize my own skin wasn't quite as thick as I thought.

Those were good, silly, fun and crazy times.

Honestly...I'm trying to think..I don't think I remember CD posting insults. Then again..sometimes it has to be more-than-subtle for me to catch on
