Seems as if threads are made to be broken. Themes drift about like spider-webs in a breeze. This might cause the author of a thread some frustration, but is not this exactly what happens in a group of people who are chatting? My main gripe is that I have something to share, and someone changes the subject before I have a chance to finish.
Originally posted by ale1552The scenario you describe was forever thus since the advent of the internet. Strict censorship inhibits the very conversations it purposes to promote. Personal tolerances of people, places and things solves many of life's issues and challenges. With Stees encouragement, you've regained your platform. We're all ears. (o lol

Originally posted by ale1552As I mentioned to a discourage poster on a previous page, "Curse the darkness or light a candle". Lighting candles is what you've been doing since we met. Take heart, Dear Lady Ale, you're among friends who wish you no harm. Silence is a no-no.
I think that I bore people. That is my real opinion. So I usually stay quiet and listen to people who bore me. :p
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyOnline friends are not the ones I was referring to, Bob. This is where I can enjoy chatting and exchanging ideas. I was talking about real life.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyMost "dead" threads aren't.
Kewpie, you may have nailed the disruptive culprit (or a significant component), by reason of applying my own applied logic: 'there's only so much discretionary time available for this site's members to contribute to its forums'. By extension, there's only so much ink in an RHP General Forum/FB Poster's Laptop Mouse (no pun intended with your "Angry Bir ...[text shortened]... (90/53). Does this contrast illustrate the difference between Life & Death? (gb)"[/b]
Most dead horses don't require CPR.
It's important to know the difference, or, you can stop beating this thread any time now.
Originally posted by SuzianneThanks for your comments. Fact that they're in regard to a post all the way back on page four suggests this conversation's still holding its own without medical intervention or "beating". When will you be introducing an interesting thread of your own to this forum to help the cause? The positive impact of Drive By posting is minimal.

I'm not in the habit of posting X threads per day in the off chance that someone, somewhere will find it interesting. Most don't.
The positive impact of Drive-By posting is that it builds consensus, even though we don't keep (or post) endless statistics on it.

Believe this sentiment is shared by many. We'll look forward to your cameos.
Thanks,

Road Hog or Road Kill or cyberspace travelers without a vehicle for their thoughts who become Virtual Spectators while standing around trying to Thumb a ride on someone else's wheels. Take your pick, HA; you travel this highway but once.
You must love the constant whine of your own wheels.
