You should probably spend more time up here.I wasn't sure if this should be posted here or in Feedback but as it is this thread will not be well attended anyway (maybe I will be surprised).
I have noticed in my time here a pattern. Not an unpredicted nor unexpected pattern, but a pattern nevertheless.
This subforum is not well attended nor a lot of posts made. Why not? Here, if I read the rules right, we could discuss politics and social issues and our differences in a respectful manner.
I have also from time to time thought of using the Blog section to express why I view the world the way I do vs how others view the world. But when I go to the blog section, reactions to people's blogs are few.
The basement in contrast, is well attended because we get to be nasty. Human nature and all that.
The other subforums that are not The Loft are very active. Typically full of name calling, partisan rants, put downs, angry rebuttals, and whataboutisms.
Again, human nature and all that. People rather yell and scream at each other than have a thoughtful and respectful disagreement about their views.
Wouldn't you thoughtfully and respectfully agree with me?
As you can see, and as I predicted, not a lot of activity on this thread because people don't visit this subforum much. So I probably won't spend more time HERE, but rather, return to the "fun" subforums.You should probably spend more time up here.
Well, you could always spend more time here and try to lure people up, but as you just stated you will return to the "fun" subforums were you can bait people in a passive aggressive manner.As you can see, and as I predicted, not a lot of activity on this thread because people don't visit this subforum much. So I probably won't spend more time HERE, but rather, return to the "fun" subforums.
LOL !!Just posting to give the impression there's more activity on this thread.

That would be a hard task to pull off. I just don't get the "shame" people don't feel when acting like such asses because they ARE anonymous. AND YES, that does take into account that I have acted like an ass from time to time, but at least I can admit it.I think it's the anonymity that the internet affords that allows people to act poorly.
You can't do that in the real world.
IMHO, the internet should never have grown up anonymous.
It would then be a much better place.

Granted, true, but you can't exactly write a law FORCING social media outlets to be unanonymous. You AND I wouldn't be on here if that was the case, amirite?Think of all the sites you access where you must be you.

I didn't know there is a "loft." I usually just hit "new posts."Wouldn't you thoughtfully and respectfully agree with me?
Good question.Why is THE LOFT three quarters of the way DOWN the page?
Take it to UPPER MANAGEMENTWhy is THE LOFT three quarters of the way DOWN the page?
When I first started posting, I had to be anonymous because I was a public officer and expressing views in public could get me fired, but I felt it was important to get an informed "inside" look at topics I knew well. Now it is self-preservation of a different kind, as the consequences of exposure can be more dire and permanent.Granted, true, but you can't exactly write a law FORCING social media outlets to be unanonymous. You AND I wouldn't be on here if that was the case, amirite?
But what FLOOR are they on?Take it to UPPER MANAGEMENT
