How Many Posts Does It Take.

For you to get your point across?

Do you have to have the last word?

I guess it depends how strongly you feel about a certain subject.


I do find some of us have extremely strong views on certain subjects......

Re: How Many Posts Does It Take.

Pauline, l would say, it all depends how good the poster is at walking away when they realise they are flogging a dead horse!
I suppose, we can all be a bit like, ‘a dog with a bone’ sometimes.

I guess it’s a passion that can take over, depending on the subject matter.

Re: How Many Posts Does It Take.

I'm finding that with some posts/threads, its easier just to say your piece and leave it at that. I don't really bother about having the last word or proving that I'm right.....it just causes tensions and drama, and I really don't want that - being the happy wee soul that I am! It doesn't mean I feel less strongly about the subject being discussed, I just move on, really. Life's too short to argue and fall out

Unless of course, it IS the Last To Post thread, in which case...

I agree Pixie, especially as some like to argue for the sake of it. If you said it was blue they'd say it was another colour...

Re: How Many Posts Does It Take.

There's a word that I can't remember that describes the feeling that you have to reply to something that you just can't NOT reply to for fear of leaving the impression of agreeing with the last reply or comment by someone. Buggered if I can remember what it is tho!

I get that, I don’t think anyone can prove that “ they are right”

They just post their opinions or what they believe....

Unless it’s a subject that can be proved to be true....
