Sometimes I semi-lurk. I tend to stay away from the political discussions because of my penchant for taking things too personally. I will often add a comment, one that I think might be funny, in the more light-hearted threads. Sometimes someone angers me and I will go off a bit. More often than not, I find my responses completely ignored. I say to myself "Self? Is it possible that you are not nearly as clever as you think you are? Nahhhhh."
However, even with the threads I don't participate in, I am immensely entertained and intriqued by the conversation, the sometimes arguments, the verbal spars.
I just love the Cellar!
