Excellent idea Rob!

I post on a regular basis. However, I do try to stay away from the argumentative threads. To much RL drama to be in here online! BTW, I LOVE being here amongst my forum friends. It's my home away from home!

wow thats a thort, an elephant on roller skates

Truth be told i think people like the drama and provoking fights/on running feuds. Sometimes these threads are the most interesting as the "quality" if thats the right word of some threads is shall we say......poor!

I agree. They are always never ending until they're locked or deleted.

I post dayly and think everyone should be free to say what they wish , I enjoy a good debate,I just don't understand why folks don't respect others ideas and beliefs, but that is human nature I suppose ,so it is what it is nothing more

Of course people like the drama of controversy in a thread. Those threads are the ones that receive the most attention, posts, and views.

It certainly beats the "What is your favorite motor oil" threads.........

There are open cliques that everyone is free to join. Mainly there are friends who have been here a while and would gladly let any and all to join in. Just start writing and expressing you opinions and you will be known as a clique memeber soon enough--for better or worst.

Membership is available to all!!! Come on Down.

I think that is one of numerous reasons why people don't "debate" more, and I the use the term debate very loosely.
I don't understand the ground rules of why some are banned for minor infractions yet some get away with "murder"?

Forever, there is only one way to deal with this, and that's let them say what they want in the forums or take it private and deal with any grievances in private!

Some people do like airing their dirty laundry in public, likewise relationship break ups in the forums, and i have been way to open about my situation on the forums and had as a result some people taking an unhealthy interest in my life!

I do have to say, this is why I don't post sometimes where I would like to.

I express my opinions openly and very freely and I certainly do not belong to a clique, nor do I wish to be.
I have made a few friends in the two months since I joined, and enjoy interacting with them, but I certainly do not run with a pack.

See! exactly what I am refering to, I give my opinion, am immediatly told it is incorrect, and 'fighting' on line is the correct way to go about it.

I don't understand the cliques thing seriously! New people can just jump in and have a laugh like people who have been here a while.By default they will soon become regulars!

I wonder if it's more to do with not just debating or agreeing what everyone else has to say.

I have seen one lady on here who will go out of her way not to have an opinion, almost like she is reading a pc handbook that is so bland it makes posting pointless.

Whats wrong with having opinions that's different from other people?

I believe the forums really bring out a persons true colors.
You get the opportunity to see how others react.
Are they easily angered when opposed?
Do they get nasty and give cutting remarks, belittling others?
How well do they hold up when the heat gets turned on?
Also, opinions and beliefs are revealed.
All of these things are very important when seeking a potential partner. Some people like to hang with others who are like themselves. Others like diversity.
We get to see all types of personalities shine through in the forums. Some are loving and good and some are down right mean and hateful. You may find a kindred spirit just in reading forum posts. The forums are able to bring out the best in us, or bring out the beast in us. They really help the weeding out process along. People can tell you anything in an email or on the phone, but seeing how their mind reacts in different situations... are they flexible, are they stubborn, do they have a compassionate heart or a heart of stone? The forums reveal so much of what a person is made of. It's a good place to get to know others and a place to make new friends, even if we don't all agree all of the time.

This was an excellent idea for a forum topic Robbie!
Thank YOU!

Hi Everybody!!!

John said in another thread once something along the line it would be a boring world if we were all the same,I agree we just need to be able to debate ,not fight and respect others views,not really complitcated IMO

Some forum posters will "take advantage" of any personal information one may divulge and use it for further exposure in the future. It seems as though some keep files and records of certain people in the forums.

I know I am filed under "S" for Smartass in some of their computers...
