They were/are. One of the many reasons I couldn't stomach Datalounge.

I'll let Denise answer that one, because I LOVED her description of it when we talked about it last.

People said some truly awful things about both Hal and Gale on there as well...

A very bitchy gossip forum I used to lurk on from like 2012-14 that roots for the downfall of people they cannot put into a box. A hate-filled cesspool that gave Gale so much s t about his sexual orientation ("Is he gay, straight, bi?"... the answer: Who cares?! NOT OUR BUSINESS!) and what he was or wasn't. Nit-picking everything about his life and career. Almost all the threads that popped up featured a title disparaging Gale in some way, and would show up on the Google search engine when you search his name. And he most likely saw them.

Thankfully now, they seem to have forgotten about him.

I knew she'd sum it up perfectly.

I have a feeling Gale saw some of that st too... I'm sure it contributed to him taking so much time away from the Internet...

Just another example of how some folks use the internet for bad.

It's gross and toxic but it does pull you in out of curiosity.

I remember being really curious about it. When I got there, I realized how awful people are. There are some fans who have met the cast, but others call them liars. I mean...some obviously lie, but many don't.

I just saw the dumbest, most contradictory rumors and arguments going on all over it. (I also saw some of that in olddd threads on here...) And people saying just the worst stuff about Gale or Hal or Randy...

It's like watching a trainwreck (apparently, or so they say). So terrible but you can't look away. But you can just feel the toxicity the longer you scroll.

Toxic people need a place to spew their negativity.

I am not going anywhere near Data Lounge then - I certainly don't need any toxic crap in my life
