I say, if you don't want to see silly threads, then stay upstairs!
I AGREE... OK... after having read the rest of the thread I will say this. Often I come across a post or a thread that I don't care for. I move on because I like everyone here, though some have obviously different beliefs than I do... I still like the people. If I don't like it I don't participate. I try to not be offensive.
Personally, I need a place where I don't have to worry about posting nonsense or something stupid.. and I think most others do too. I am also thankful for it because a lot of things go right over my head and I post something that isn't that relevant because I didn't read the whole thread or I didn't "get it". We all get it wrong sometimes, we all say things that don't come out right but really, I think we need to be quick to give everyone else the benefit of doubt and slow to complain or judge. It will always go away.
I got offended by something a week or two ago and instead of complain, I blocked the person... then after a couple of days I unblocked them because I got over it. Like I said, I like everyone here and I REALLY don't want to see this place die or even change (for the worse). FWIW, I don't mind reading through nonsense. I can choose to move on if I don't want to read it... keep it coming.
I don't have any real specific suggestions because everyone is different and everyone thinks a little different AND things written online without personal interaction can so easily be taken the wrong way.
Beagle, shake it off and come home.
IDK... I think that so many things are misunderstandings that turn into something else. I just hope I don't do anything to make things worse.
IMO... Julien
