I’ve been reading some of the posts for a long time before I decided to write my first post.
I really love the idea of having such a forum and being able to exchange opinions and thoughts of people from all over the world.
One thing that I find kind of “annoying” though is the way some people present some of their thoughts.
Some posts are often hard to understand.
Some replies to the posts are even harder to understand.
It is not my limited english nor intelect that can’t understand but the way people express themselves.
Also some people get offended so easily (even the Board administraitors) at some of the users questions…that were originally not even intended to offend anyone.
All I’m saying is that some of the people that post here need to express themeselves more distinctly and clearly to others enjoyment…
This is a large site with over 18,000 registered participants (and probably a couple thousand of them are active). It includes people who know their subjects and know how to express thamselves, people who know their subjects, but have trouble writing clearly, people who write clearly about subjects of which they are ignorant, and bad writers who don’t know much of anything. Among those 18,000 or 2,000 posters are a lot of people with very strong egos. Some have prickly personalities and some are calm even under duress.
I’m afraid that ordering posters to this board to behave in any particular fashion is as futile as trying to herd cats.
(One thing that does raise the hackles of some posters is to find a post in the wrong Forum. This post, for example, might have fit in IMHO as a general expression of unsupported opinion, but would more likely belong in the BBQ Pit (which is the designated Forum for comments on the board). One place that it certainly does not belong is in the General Questions Forum and I suspect that you will soon find it moved or closed.)
Welcome to the SDMB, raven02. Since this isn’t a question with a factual answer, it doesn’t really belong in GQ. I’ll close this thread, but feel free to repost in the appropriate forum. In this case that would probably be The BBQ Pit.
