The problem with the whole "I don't like arguing" mantra, is that the person who doesn't like it, never seems to have any responsibility for themselves. You can scroll past it. You see that a certain poster is more annoying to you and skip past their posts. You can start your own threads and on and on. Instead of controlling themselves, they want to tell others what they can say, think or do. I would rather be "offended" all day long having a lively discussion than have this board turn into Facebook with a lot of lame, suzy sunshine pumper posts. If that's YOUR thing, then fine and dandy. Have at . Create threads with just that. But, don't try to turn around and limit the rest of us from talking about what we want to talk about in the way we want to talk about it.

It seems to be a "problem" that I don't see. Other people's opinions or comments or way of being don't bother me. I can partake of what they say and their POV without being 'offended' by it. So what? So what if someone is snarky? So, what if someone is bitchy, annoying, or whatever. Their issue is their issue. You don't have to take every damn thing so personally.

I think some of the bickering might dissipate if we had some new members to bring in new topics rather than just discussing the same things all the time.

Although, I have no idea how to get people to come to a message board.

On one hand, I agree with this. On the other, I think there are a few on here you will argue and bicker no matter what. They are a small minority, but they are responsible for most of the arguing. It's like they thrive on it.

I don't mind people discussing and disagreeing pleasantly. But the venom and the snark and the insults are totally unnecessary.

 

 That's life though.  People snark.  It might not be so prevalent if their were more traffic though.  Who knows, maybe I could be wrong.

 I completely agree with the bolded. It gets old, and this last month was actually pretty pleasant to be here. If I wanted to "hear" people bickering, all I have to do is go to my parents' house. I don't want to come to a message board and see bickering and disrespect where I come to relax. It's not relaxing.

 Different people find different things and different people annoying. 

 True, however when it is the same 3 people that are generally annoying to most, then it's the annoying people who are the problem I think.

 I bet my 3 people are different than your 3 people.  Well, probably 1 of them.  The other 2 might be the same.  ;)

One of the main things? Posting about how annoying or obnoxious other posters are is annoying and obnoxious, especially when that is the main thing you do all the time. It's like WHY do you read it? Simply so you have something and someone to complain about? There is NEVER going to be a time when this many people together don't disagree on every damn thing from abortion to meatloaf.

There are no disagreements about bacon!  Bacon is the universal language.

Ok, well, I guess I'll stop censoring myself and stopping myself from responding to the kinds of things that I don't like and I"ll just add fuel to the fire I guess. I can be bitchy and judgmental and rude just like some on here. Until now I have just chosen to take the high road and not lower myself to the ridiculous arguments because this is just a message board and most of the crap that is argued about is stupid anyway. But hey, I'll just start to join in on the insults, disrespect and arguing just to argue and disagree. No problem.

You know what, forget it. This stupid message board pisses me off. Lily, Gaga and Husker can have at it, I'm tired of the behaviors on this board so see ya. I've never been on a message board where the subjects get beaten to death and argued over again and again to the point where we all know how we all feel about all of these subjects. And I've never been on a board where there was just arguing to argue. That is stupid and juvenile. I don't like to argue because what you argue about isn't worth it. I have my opinions and I don't really give a **** what anyone else thinks, and don't have a need to shove my opinions down other people's throats. I also don't get into arguments or "heated debates" or whatever the hell you want to call it in real life either. If someone wanted to argue abortion, politics or any of the other things that devolve into arguments here, they wouldn't be my friend for long. Obviously this board isn't the one for me. I'll stick to my music boards and other boards where people are not flinging insults at each other and actually stay on topic.

You are taking an message board waaaay too seriously.  And, if you took the time to get to know us, you would find our bark is worse than our bite.

I don't mind disagreements or strong opinions in a thread otherwise it would be extremely boring. I loved this board because people here do share different opinions strongly and then go on with no grudges. What I don't like about when posters bicker with each other is that it drowns out others who are trying to stay on topic and the thread is hijacked.

I like to debate. I am not sure why my way of talking or someone else's who likes to chat, goof around or act like kids in a locker room isn't the "right way to be". It is pretty loud and clear when you see my avatar and name and signature that I am making a comment. I find it pretty odd that I will START a thread, and then someone will come on and complain that they don't like the thread I started! Well, DON"T READ IT! Wow.

Yes, me too.  There are threads I skip.  I don't really read all of Ed's Car threads or Recall threads but I don't start a thread to complain about how he starts them.  That's what he likes to talk about.   And, sometimes I join in and sometimes I don't but that is his thing.  So what?

Personally, I don't understand all the angst over someone who doesn't have the same opinions or is staunchly in opposition to something you believe in or whatever. Funny how we have lip service to diversity, but can't handle it when someone thinks differently. So what?? So what if another poster thinks differently or is a piss ant? So what? I just think to myself, "Oh, here comes the whiny piss ant to bellyache again", lol. Try imagining all the posters Naked.

LGS likes to debate so much she debates with herself (j/k). I have more fun discussing the hot topics with her just because she doesn't take it so personally.
