The effectiveness of rumor spreading is a function of interest times ambiguity. That probably applies to forum topics as well. I think the subject title is very important. Of course, it helps if the topic is polarizing...you know, like pitting dog lovers against normal people.

That being the inevitable snarky, mean-spirited comments...regardless of the subject. Yuletide Gratuities or Tipping And then there are those who have been on the site for years, while instead of just moving on when someone brings up something that has been discussed previously, can't help themselves but to denigrate/snark the thread or post...on what the 'old heads' consider a subject already thoroughly covered. I'm betting that after a while, some people simply get tired of it...and quit participating. |

Well Coach I started a thread on whether or not to tip the owner of a business and within seconds I was jumped on in a passive aggressive manner and maybe that is why fewer and fewer of the "old" regulars are coming back to the site to comment. Times have changed, this site was never this aggressive or ready to pick a fight. We had great contributors who managed to reply to a post in a civilized manner or with a bit of tongue in cheek humor.

Please don't get discouraged and quit posting so often, as I believe this site needs a whole lot more nice folks like yourself...and less.... |

It's an even slower day in college football. The only games besides Army-Navy are things like Bubba's Underwater Mess Kit Repair Vo-Tech vs The Little Sisters of Empathy Sewing Academy. Bring on the bowls.

I have been on this forum since the beginning, and can only speak for myself, but your post which becomes so expected on most threads is what keeps me from posting.
Sorry, but I am simply being honest. I spent years posting on here, having discussions and certainly not agreeing with many others, but we exchanged views without judgement. This is now the norm. Again, I post only in response to the passive aggressive little sneak phrases. I believe in dealing with disagreements in a "positive" manner. I, without a doubt, am wrong a lot.....and I do not expect any agreement from anyone, but I got tired of being looked down on for my moral stance. Just my reason...most don't like to be called out for that stuff...I have become a second class citizen on here, and it used to be fun here even in disagreement......and I might add even on the original political section. Everyone was honest, and most importantly were expected to substantiate their opinions..not much any more. I have been soundly called out for supplying links to back up comments. I apologize, but trying to be honest. I wish good things to those cliques that try to control conversations, and I agree with those who pointed out the cliques. I hope you feel successful and my sense is that much is about winning, whatever that means in a forum which is upposed to be an exchange of opinions. I do not expect this post to survive....some are prone to "report" anything that is opposite of their thinking. |

Hey Buddy, sorry for opening up a can of worms on your OP post. Traffic seems to be down and I agree, why? Lets just leave it at that for the sake of sanity.

The if I don’t like your post you need to leave and don’t let the door hit you. Or the best is you need to pack your bag and move. Or one was the poster must be bipolar or multiple posters under same name. Or I can’t believe you were that stupid to buy in that neighborhood. We we first joined I used this site weekly for informative ideas, thoughts, and sometimes prayers. Some say the reason for the change, is no coffee, Pain of some sort, health reasons. I don’t think any of this should cause anyone to be unkind, yet here we are. |
