Very little, and the temps are right around freezing. Such a change from the last few years of 20 something below and loads of snow, and I'm enjoying it.
Perhaps they're just another way of making/finding excuses to not meet anyone, or actually date.
I've read all sorts of reasons as to why some won't go out with another, and most of it is BS, but they believe it.
Not sure if it's funny, or sad, but it does show that they're not really interested in making a connection of any sort, and knowing that is what truly matters in the end.
I'm not sure that anyone is truly responsible for another, or their actions on the forums. If one really does care, they can always attempt to divert their friend's attention to something more, ummm, interesting.
I read the bit about people mailing others to warn of certain posters, and I don't agree with random mails to strangers in that regard. I don't see any harm in sending a note to someone you know, to keep them out of trouble, well, at least in the forums.
Part of the problem, or maybe part of the solution, it depends on how you want to look at the situation. I believe anything and everything should be open for discussion, including this topic. Maybe through conversations such as this, we can find a way to make the forums a friendlier place to spend time. I don't care much for the petty arguements, or bashing threads, although I do read some of them, and occasionally post. Never know when something good can come from one of them, stranger things have happened.
Nah, it's as easy as ignoring the thread, and the poster. If you feel compelled to reply, as many seem to, why not do it in a positive manner, rather than seeing who can crap the biggest on the other?
Failing that, just reply to others on the thread, keeping with the spirit of the conversation, or just hijack it.
Most stories need an antagonist, and the CS saga is no different, as we see here on a daily basis. The most popular threads are usually ones that start out with an inflammatory comment, or a negative tone towards the opposite gender, or a specific group. Then the bashing begins.
I have often wondered whether people feel better after attempting to flatten someone through negativity and name calling, or if they believe they'll change that person's views or outlook by doing so. What other reason(s) would they resort to lowering themselves to such tactics?
How many threads, and how many replies, and it will continue until certain members are removed. Then everyone can pat each other on the back and congratulate one another for a job well done in getting the "troll" removed. Maybe it's a sense of victory, winning, or getting one's way that prompts people to act as they do.
Ultimately, we're all responsible for our own actions, and have the ability to choose which threads we participate in, or don't. If something doesn't suit your fancy, stay out of it, simple innit?

Nah, it's winter and I'm sure they help to keep you warm.
