Re: Forum manners

I'm serious, all you people complaining about manners would definitely be much happier on a forum where members are being censored when speaking freely just because some moderator or wannabe moderator needs to justify their existence.

ps I agree with Patsy for a change.

Re: Forum manners

But this is about serious subjects being derailed causing some people to just decide to post in the frivolous silly threads, no problem with that if that is what they want to do not so good if they have something important they want to add to a serious thread.

Yes but you (and me) added to that, by responding over and over - you gotta know 'when' its a lost cause and quit

Re: Forum manners

Is it really that hard to simply ignore 'silly' comments and stick with the serious conversation?

Seems ridic to even discuss these minor issues because there is no solution
moderator wise - its something you have to deal with yerself. Unless - a person is a right obnoxious jerk that should be banned !
This is one of the most mild-mannered forum I've ever been on but I guess if someone hasn't experienced the worst of forum life, they may see things differently. It could well be that they want to be able to post but feel reluctant due to the responses of some. Does that bother me? No, not really but it does bother those who want to discuss the thread's intended content.

Re: Forum manners

Boils down to this *clears throat*

Some people are naturally 'picky' some people aren't

On occasion, the ones who aren't picky may sometimes be stressed out and become overly picky, thus adding to their stress .... and that can make them more picky ... and stressed .... and picky

On and on it goes ... a never-ending tale of woe until the whole thing (and all the onlookers) are worn out

Mostly, if I don't like what people are saying, I skip through their posts or ignore them (their posts)

Do I need more stress in my life ? ... nah




thank you
