Donating YT 14K Club Member | A question to think about... How many of us would (let's say), go to a pro-life forum and start threads about pro-abortion? How many of us would go to a religious site only to start threads about pagan or satan worship being good? Would you do it? I do not understand why some people would purposely start threads that they know aren't going to be welcomed with open arms. We have many threads here that get heated. Lots of times (especially lately), I just look at the title and can guess how the thread is going to end...yup...with a big padlock. So why do it? If you wouldn't go to the above 2, then why do it here? But you know what gets me the most...after people get slammed then they get upset. It's almost like start a flame thread then scream at the top of your lungs when it doesn't go your way. Maybe I'm just getting old but people that do things like this really make me wonder about them!

| The only thread that comes to mind for me is the election thread. Are you referring to any others specifically? |

| I don't think people intentionally set out to start a flame fest. I think they have good intentions with a genuine question that just happens to go south when one person takes offense and doesn't agree. To me it seems it's not the original poster that's in the dispute but that the disputes arise from others who have responded to someone's post. I could easily see this post going south too depending on how its taken and interpreted.

| I totally agree But.... some I feel are trying to ask honest Questions and word them wrong or are not Educated on the subject, Or People read them wrong. Like......../Say I am a first time owner of a dog and Oops she gets PG I am scared. I come here and ask a Question And every one jumps on me. There are alot of people who Don't word things right Like the T-Cup thing but maybe they don't know there is none. I try to stay away from those Heated threads. I feel if I can't put in a nice post then I'll leave it to others who can and If there is a Bated post If no one answers then It will just go away. |

| I understand where you are coming from Kimberley. I've actually seen these ignored, the poster get upset because they didn't get answers, and then cry victim when they do. Funny, I see certain people give answers, and it's OK. I see other people give the same answers and get flamed for responding. It was "not nice" or "off topic" or just wrong. Funny how things work. I'm trying very hard to ignore things more and not let it get to me so badly....not saying I'm always succeeding, but at least I'm trying. Try not to let it get to you that much. I have found that most of the people that get upset with the answers don't stay around long anyway....they get their quick answer, or sell their underage pups and leave. |
