Sometimes, when a particular thread is so very, very long. I stop following it. Or, if I never started reading it, I never start because it is so long. Perhaps Shadow felt the same way. Or perhaps he thought this particular LINK TO the article deserved it's own thread. Or perhaps . . or maybe . . . or whatever . . . It doesn't matter. Starting a new thread is what we do here on this forum. I post a lot of dog-related videos. Should I load them all onto the same thread? Is it wrong for me to start a new thread for each one? There is no right or wrong answer.
The comment posted "I have to wonder why such a thread was started" insinuated that there must be some reason other than the sharing of information. That comment insinuates something NEGATIVE about the character of the original poster. I'm sorry, but in my book, that is RUDE. Then all the other followers agreed in a pack-mentality. If your motives were questioned in such a way after posting something you thought was of interest, your feelings would be hurt and you might lash out as well.
Bottom line is -- these negative insinuations make lurkers and wannabe-posters think twice about joining TOTV or making posts. And, that hurts TOTV.

Telling people they have a "pack mentality" and calling people "rude"? Pooh has every right to question motives, after all, people here are judging, and hanging people without a trial. This is not rude, too?
