Sometimes, I am much more interested in what others have to say.
In fact, only recently I thought about creating a new section where members can simply post a topic up for discussion without having to post their own opinion or any accompanying text.
A number of good reasons for this - sometimes people just want to hear what everyone else thinks, sometimes people want to put up a topic without adding their own opinion as to not influence the opinion of others..

Re: Are you rude ...
Jeeez, this humble Aussie reckons some people seem to get their knickers in a twist pretty easily.I couldn't give a rat's if the original poster responds or not.
If one has an opinion, states it clearly in that first post and opens the subject up for others to state their views .... jolly good show, old boy !
That's what generates discussion in a discussion forum. The person has served the site well by taking the trouble to start the thread.
Absolutely no need to contribute further if they don't choose to.
Certainly nothing even slightly "rude" about that.
I don't think I've EVER started a thread.
All power to those who do ..... without copping a flogging from others.

Re: Are you rude ...
I'm not sure that it is rude to start a thread and not add to it later. It depends so much on what the OP is and how it's worded. As others have said, sometimes it is just to get others' views on something.I don't have a problem with the 'discuss' word either, although I can see Julie's point about that. It can sound arrogant, but I tend to think of it more as a rather humorous harking back to school exam questions, which often seemed to use the 'Discuss' theme.
