How do you do it... (178)
TurkishDelight: How do you keep your sanity in here..you are all very nice
How is that possible, do you not get bored with the threads that go on and on with hug and kiss and all that shi*e.
Do you not have moments where you want to put your hand through the screen and drag that person out and slap a bit of sense into them?
Or is it just me who has days where I want to trottle someone when I read such drivel on some of the threads

I believe the Forum Threads are here for each of us to do with as we wish. Some want to find a mate; some want to chat with friends; some want to raise hell; some want to scam us; some are here to entertain us; and probably many more reasons.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. If you have to scream at the computer!!!!!

There are some of us who actually do prefer a good conversation... although lately that´s been difficult to find so I haven´t been on much... I´ve said before that I´m not one for the chit chat and love you´s, either here or real life. When I care about someone, or am friends with someone I hope they realize it without all the gushy emotions.------ This thread is Archived ------

Fair enough point, once..just once I would like to see a thread go the distance without the lovey doveys doing there thing in the middle of a great conversation. Over the years we have had fantastic discussions on here but they seem to be few and far between these days.
Its getting like Groundhog day in here for a while now...

I´ve been here on and off for three and a half years and I can tell you that it only gets worse! The same old threads recycled hundreds of times - patience does wear thin. How many times can you answer.."would you blah blah". However, for new people I can make excuses as they have no idea their question has been posed here many times before.
The secret is to take long breaks, and I mean weeks or months, not hours! And not to get involved behind the scenes too much.

That or you read the first page of a thread and then spend some time composing a 2 or 3 paragraph response only to find out that you´ve posted into the middle of one of these "love you" exchanges, and it was pointless to post anything because no one is discussing the topic any more!

CS has this already worked out........
There are IMs for people who want to catch up or chat or converse with each other, as opposed to discussing topics.
There are also chat rooms for groups of people who want to do these things together.
If people just want to chat, or catch up, or clown around, or whatever, there is also the option of starting a chat thread specifically to just have fun in, as opposed to ruining someone else's more serious topic by hijacking it with drivel etc.
It's all a matter of having consideration for others, and showing the originators of more serious threads a bit of respect, so they can explore their topic with like minded people.

Well to me a thread is like a group conversation. You got to remember some of the folks have known each other longer so, they do read each other and say hi in the middle. It does not mean that they think that your thread is less important or not worth responding to. And yes they say hugs to you, kisses to you... but it is what it is.
And that is a place where people can say what they are feeling at the moment.

Hi Turkish,
IMO It is the advantage and disadvantage of communicating in this way.

While CS may have it figured out... members don´t seem to adhere to that concept very well. I have had so many instances of posting and being completely invisible because the thread had been hijacked and turned into a chat... and I just think... why did I bother...

Hi Jan
I have been on the site now for over 2 years and took nearly a year off from it. There is a difference though in the past few months. Some fantastic threads were created,debated and the conversation flowed, as Ibiz stated above, the "tea and biscuits brigade" drop in, no matter the topic and say
to each other,completely disregarding what is going on around themJust gets bloody frustrating when the
is flowing, blood is boiling and opinions are being expressed kiled stone dead with the banality ( dont shoot me Rob..my spell check is not working

I understand where you are coming from
But do you not think that with all the other services such as those which Ginger has spoken about ( IM, chat etc) is a better place for it than in the middle of a flowing conversation
From my perspective, if I am honest, it is just plain selfish and egotistical to say the least. They are only considering themselves and how much they get feedback for their comments, slapping each other on the back mentality than alientates others

I have found the same thing over and over again, to the extent where I rarely post at all now.
I have noticed you post less too and I used to look forward to your posts because they were often informative and witty.
Sometimes it is cultural differences, youth, or people who are not used to the internet, ( at least I excuse them that way), but mostly I find it is the ignorant and the great unwashed who just have to get attention, even if it is bad attention in a thread.
Their lack of manners and values and consideration never fails to astound me.

PixieJust venting a little bit, getting very frustrated with trying to have a half decent conversation on here. You know me, I am easy going, buy Jaysus, the threads lately just take the biscuit.

This is soooo true...I've been here on and off for two and half years and it does get worse. I guess though you can't blame the new comers for having fun with it all.... until they get used to it....

I was actually playing the "word threads"
thats how bad I am today for a bit of conversation I love a good natter, but getting very frustrated with the "tea and biscuit parade" who stick their lovely hugs where they are not needed. I am not looking for an arguement as someone on the Irish site implied..just a good old fashioned conversation that includes all opinions and those can be expressed freely without censorship/insults from others.A decent conversation is all I ask for
Just like the one we are having now

And if you were in a real life group conversation with 10 people talking about the same thing, and then 3 or 4 of them started talking about something completely unrelated over the top of everyone else... would that be acceptable? In my experience those people would break away from the group and start their conversation elsewhere.
