Have You Quit A Long Time Thread?

Jackhound Mom — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 18:42:46 GMT

I did because I didn't fit in or post the way most did.

@Jackhound Mom I find some of those 'private' threads I call them, to be very political. Things posted there would be poofed posted on the normal threads. Seems only the posters on the longtime threads read them.

I'm ADD, no patience for this stuff. The few times I've checked on these interminable threads, they are way off subject.

@Jackhound Mom

I really can't say I quit any of those types of threads. There are only 1 or 2 that I can think of that I have posted more than a couple of times. One falls in the Wellness Forum the other being the Sports Forum.

One is restarted on a monthly basis, the other on a Sports Seasonal basis. I did put a post in 1 very long time post. There, I was not so politely, told pretty much, I was not wanted there.

The latter seems more like private communications between a few people. The title of that thread is kinda deceptive, at least to me. It is a topic where I have had my own rough life experiences, but the author of that thread, I guess didn't like or agree with what I had to say or add. So!!!!

No. I am more a loner. I find that I prefer to "talk" to some people more than others. Plus, I easily tire of chit-chat.

Gosh, who knew I was so charming?

@hckynut I believe one of the posters you are referring to has not been around in sometime. I think she sort of ran out of ammo, so to speak. . .

I don't follow long discussions. I do participate when someone has had an extreme loss.

I Have not taken part in long discussion threads. I felt kind of intrusive when I checked one out so just keep to daily topics.

I've tried to jump into some long threads but it's like I was invisible. Guess my contributions weren't very interesting. 😂

Hi John,

You are such a great writer! Thanks to you and the other posters!

It seems we have all had similar experiences with the larger or longer threads. I appreciate you all answering me and I look for topics that I can ad something to.

Maybe we will connect with a group/thread here in the future but either way it is a pleasure to read here.

I don't get involved in long time threads.

And I avoid threads when the op writes a mini novel. Don't have the patience to read when paragraphs and punctuation aren't used.

No sometimes I just go look at different threads to see what its about, sometimes I jump in and many times I dont

What I really do not like is replys that go on and on with all of the previous ones. I cant stand to try and read all of that! I just move on.

I look in sometimes, but have never posted, I don't recall. May heart someone every once in a while.

Some are just not my thing, 'can't say any more...' blah blah blahhhh.

And then there's the pages and pages of sparkly unicorns... with a few sentences in between....lol. Fine if that's your thing!

I see nothing wrong with them, though.

ETA: Just remember I did post on one regularly in Beauty Banter. It was for women in their 50's. There is one for women in their 60's, but I'm not there yet!

there is a thread about pets that must be at least 5 years old. the OP has long since disappered but people are still flogging this dead horse. I find it very tiresome so I just don't even look at it anymore.

Yes. Don't fit in/nothing in common with other posters/cliques/boring.
