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

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.
