 Politeness is fine and has it's place in life. But it can get super boring. Some people get offended at the tiniest of things and don't want to read any other points of view. I personally enjoy a good dose of dissention,sarcasm,and even a heated  arguement.  But here now it is often squelched by moderators responding to posters reports of  inappropriate content.  I read the " My mom always said if you can't say something nice ..." comment and just kinda roll my eyes. It  is amazing to me how easy it is to offend. It is now a board where moderators rule. I  have to respect that if I want to post here, but I do think it gets very bland at times. I don't come here as often or with as much enthusiasm because the topics and comments are less "zesty". I miss that. Plus, it seems any  even slightly negative comments about any host, no matter how true, are shut down. But again, it is the new way here. The parameters are narrow.

Cakers, I disagree. 

There are still snarky posters.  They ruin every thread.

Heya Brii:  I'm hardly here anymore and I've learned to overlook a lot of the past with some posters - some, but not all.  And yes, I could probably come up with the same ones you do but they weren't worth the time before and certainly are not worth the time today.

LOL

Nice to see you!

I may read here from time to time and post once in awhile but generally speaking forums don't interest me the way they once did. Use to be a lot of fun, those days are long gone!

I think of this poem often when I read some of the more "snarky" comments. 

There was a little girl

Who had a little curl

Right in the middle of her forehead.

When she was good

She was very, very good

But when she was bad

She was horrid!

It is never too early to discuss flu shots, Christmas cards with glitter, and the usual holiday angst over gifts, parking spaces, and whether or not one should say "Merry Christmas".

Go for it.

Let's face it, political correctness is now the law of the land.  Thou shall not offend anyone by anything you might say.

  I'm shocked at what offends some people.  On these boards, if  someone discloses that they don't care for a particular line of clothing, etc. you'd think they just called someone's mother a bad name.  We're entitled to have our own opinions and if they are stated in a clear, non hostile manner, we should be able to state them.

Got a flu shot. I hate glitter bombs of any kind. I don't agonize over gifts. I park wherever and walk if necessary...it's  healthier. I don't care about whAt greeting one gives me at Christmas.   See... boring,LOL😉

Let us not forget my all time holiday favorite -

"Was the Nativity in December or in April"?

The difference now is that politeness rules instead of those who can be the most snarky.

I'm dead serious.

@Cakers3 Politeness?????   I've been around here a long time, and I guess I must have missed all the "polite" posts, there are still plenty of "snarky" (to put it mildly) posts here as always, just sayin'!
