IF THE FORUM ISNT TO GENERATE CONVERSATION, ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE Q, THEN WHAT IS IT FOR??

AJW — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 00:41:14 GMT

Ive been looking at the comments on two postings I made recently, and for the life of me, why do some posters get their knickers in such knots?? Most of us respond, agree or disagree, but some people get so uptight, its quite unbelievable. ‘Get a life’, ‘nobody forces you to watch’, etc etc are common comments. I have thoughts on the shows, some good, some not, but apparently this aggravates some!

Its relaxing, fun too, to communicate with people across the country, and I believe, it helps lonely people, sick people, to feel more connected to the outside world.

So lets keep the forum fun, light, polite of course, but an exchange of ideas.

Here endeth the first lesson! LOL

@AJW I agree with you. This should be a friendly place and most of the time, it is.

i can also understand why some posters tell others to turn off the tv, don’t watch, etc.

It gets old and tiring when anyone hears the same complaints, weekly, daily and monthly for years. It is what it is and complaining isn’t making any differences.

I imagine when you have QVC on every minute you are awake, you will find some annoyances. Some people just get tired of hearing about it. It doesn’t make sense to watch something that annoys you.

It might be better to post what you do like about QVC, but that might crash the system or something. Who knows?

Anyway, I am greatful for the posters. I have learned a lot...and even changed my mind when I read someone else’ view and ideas that I never thought of.

It is what you say it is. If you get anything else out of it, it is before your enjoyment is abruptly cut off by the moderators ... then back to "all about me" AKA the Q.

QVC's FB wall is even worse and it's only about 5 posters who pounce on just about everyone who they disagree with, it's like they are trying to run QVC's FB wall. Very nasty senior citizens.

I don't like it when posters tell me how to react to a thread. Why do I have to make you feel good about your post.Evidently if someone does not agree, they are pegged as lonely, horrible people. As far as any kind of facebook, if you put it all out there you know people are going to jump on you.

The "get a life" comments are ironic because they clicked on the same subject line themselves! They're trying to act as if they have a life but are spending their time reading the same thread, too.

The moderators here seem to heavily censor the posts. It doesn't seem right. How can you have a discussion when only one point of view is allowed? It appears some are overly sensitive, and actually believe some of the hosts are friends. The hosts could care less who we are. They are little more than on air store clerks. Their job is to sell, and they will say anything to do the job. There is one host if you even type her name you'll get poofed. I don't understand it.

If this is what retirement is, it really stinks. Glad I’m working. Qvc 24/7 is no life.

I very much enjoy posting here. I don't understand a lot of the negative comments to people. There is one person I can think of that I have never seen post anything positive at all about QVC. Apparently she shops here frequently though. She certainly starts a lot of posts about QVC. For some reason no one ever calls her out about her negative posts, although they call out many others.

We can't control what others do or how they react to your posts. We also don't know another person's life experiences and if a particular topic reminds them of a trauma or other good/bad experience. And there are a few who will snark at comments no matter what. I usually ignore them but have been known to be snarky on occasion. There are only 2 things you can do...ignore it or control your own response. You can't control responders.

Retirement is the best thing I ever did!!!! coming here to read about 1/2 hour once or twice a day is enough. After being here awhile you get to know certain posters. Those are the one's I never respond to because they annoy me. There are posters I like and agree with as well. This board is for my entertainment, nothing more.

I get the feeling that senior citizens/retirees are getting the blame for perceived problems on these boards..... What a hoot!

You can't let things that are said here, or certain posters, get to you. Learn to ignore what bothers you and enjoy what doesn't. It's just a message board, fer cryin' out loud.

Great post, @reiki604!

I love it when everyone can give an opinion and not get jumped on for giving it..... I enjoy the sharing and all the different personalities of each poster. Usually there are only confrontations when one poster jumps down the throat of another poster because they do not like what they said. Different strokes for different folks....

@SeaMaiden Comments and opinions all depends on what poster says them on here. The ones on the popular list can say anything and at times can also be rude. An unpopular poster doing the same thing gets pounced on. Plain and simple.

It is why I seldom come here anymore.

I used to read daily and usually post. Now it's just too hard for my brain to think about what the moderators might TAKE AWAY. So it's just not worth it very much to me.

I find it amusing that some posters post not so nice things, yet they comment about other posters doing the same. They don't recognize themselves as the same type of poster.

@hyacinth003. I never think of what mods might take away. I don't really care.

@Blingqueen023. I never noticed a popular and unpopular posters. How can you tell? I guess since I don't notice who gets poofed and who doesn't. I've only noticed the know it alls.
