<blockquote>quote:<hr /> Well We don't post all that much these days, but not for having any lack of opinion, but most often just not wanting to draw fire for what would undoubtedly be an unpopular viewpoint about certain things.

Needless to say, there is a constituency on any message board that are poseurs. That cannot be helped, regardless of subject matter. I do think that people have shown a tendency to jump to conclusions lately a bit more readily than they have in the past.
<hr /></blockquote>I won't address the first paragraph as I can find no way to do so without being a total raw but truthful bitch, so I'll leave well enough alone and let paragraph speak for itself.

No one's talking posers here and NO ONE has been called a poser by anyone here that I've seen. So that whole thing is moot and where you came up with it is beyond me.

As far as jumping to conclusions....well, when it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, nine times outta ten it's going to be a duck. I have jumped to a conclusion which has been wrong and I have admitted it and even offered my apologies which was graciously accepted and all was good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> You make it sound as if everyone who comes here is automatically put into some category and throw to the wolves and that just isn't the case.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />There are some strong personalities on this board and sometimes the desire to defend or present an opinion eclipses the original point of the posting. There's nothing wrong with that as long as there's an effort to understand each other and allow each other's points of view (even when we think that they are stupid), and cut people some slack when they might not have said something quite the way they may have intended to.
<hr /></blockquote>Ever heard the saying...Say what you mean and mean what you say? Maybe that should be adjusted to...Type what you mean and mean what you type. But anyhow, once again, another person making this board out to sound as if it's nothing but a big flame war and it's not. But I can see this is fruitless. Those who think they're seeing the forest despite the trees, aren't seeing the trees at all.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />It's a message board. It's entertaining, informative, enlightening, perplexing, helpful...but you shouldn't take it too seriously either!
<hr /></blockquote>Translation: Get a Life! I just love when people try to fancy up that simple sentence instead of coming out and saying what they really feel and mean. <img border="0" alt="[ROFL]" title="" src="graemlins/rofl.gif" />

Ya know, I was here this morning, read thru a few posts (I had this site set as the startup site for my browser but have changed it since this morning) and left. I saw a few others also here this morning who are regular posters here and guess what...they did the same thing, they didn't post not one single post and eventually left. Speaks volumes to me.
