THIS SITE WILL NEVER CHANGE!
Dec 7, 2007
I leave for a few months in hopes all the crap will stop and see it's still the same. So should I just leave and never come back in hopes for some respectful conversations?
Someone once told me to stop feeding the trolls and it worked. So may I suggest others try also.

So I'm assuming the sites changes a little once a month or so with a few legit posts? I didn't go back further then 2 pages and didn't need to after reading all the garbage on the first two pages. Yea there's a few good posts on the first page, but it's the post that bash others that get the most replies. How can this be good discussion? JMHO

I'm a new poster, I understand your frustration. There are some negative posters. I've been ready to give up a couple of times.
I posted those very frustrations & expected to get blasted out of the water. I pi$$ed off a ''couple'' of people, they TOLD me what they thought, (some of those words hurt, I won't lie), but there were many others that were supportive, informative & friendly.
I don't know everyone yet, but there are some very knowledgeable, decent & caring people that come to this site! ''Don't let a few negative posters & petty grudges keep you from sharing''? Those are very wise words others shared with me when I was ready to leave. I pass them on to you.
You can leave & keep your mouth shut; you can stay & attempt to make a tiny dent in a little corner of your world. Only you know what is right for you. :-) Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the kind words but this has been happening since I joined in 2002 and it hasn't stopped and not sure it ever will.
Really tlou I shouldn't be talking to you. I've learned to be respectful and did reply to you this once. Maybe we can talk more on Dec 19th in Davenport!

TLOU'S response!
''really tlou, I shouldn't be talking to you & am replying to you this once, msybe we can talk on 12/19.'' ''Left this site & could only read the last 2 pages before...'' HOMEY, I had not responded ''politically'' in the last 2 pages you claimed to have read?!
I don't know the past agendas you all have. My response to YOU WAS to an original post from a person that I thought & believed, & that disagreed to other poster's negative responses.
''You thank me for my kindness, yet tell me I am not worthy of your ''friendship'' if I don't agree w/ the views you choose to make happen on 12/19''.
Did you come on this board to make a difference, or endorse a candidate? You, ''kindly'' blew me out of the water.
I responded to your ''original post'' out of human kindness, compassion & a hope that a change could be made on this board. You chose to take my words & turn them into a ''political post,'' supporting an agenda of your own. I may be naive, I'm not an idiot. Say what you mean & mean what you say, homey. Are you really so shallow as to like or dislike me because of a political candidate/party I may choose? Friendship doesn't mean ''total acceptance''.
