Re: How Many Posts Does It Take.

I left a forum for the very reason that people were just so flippin' argumentative. Lots of sanctimonious 'listen to me' types, who simply would not let anything go. It could - and frequently did - get very, very nasty.

Some were so up their own ar$es they probably hadn't seen daylight for decades.

I agree too, Roxy.
I have seen it said on occasions that some people would sit in a room and argue with themselves even.

Then there are the WUMS too. Those who start a particular thread purely to get a reaction, and some fall for it every time.

It's nearly always the same two subjects that cause ructions, and usually the same people who keep those threads going uneccessarily.

Very often I find it best to say your piece and walk away when it's like that.

I also find some comments from some members interesting, it’s like they are trying to get a reaction from that particular member...reminds me of being poked with a stick.

I'll answer a thread with a comment but never bother with trying to push my point, they either get it or they don't & then I move on.

I think it depends on the subject Tiff, some are popular some aren’t...
