I just want to get something off my chest. How many of you have started a post, you are the O.P., and were expecting everyone who responded to you to stay on subject? I have had a few posts lately that I thought would be material that could inform others of something I thought important. The post starts out O.K. then someone will post material that has little to do with the original post. By the end the material has nothing to do with the beginning. Is this common? Am I just nit-picking? I believe that if I want to comment on something and it doe's not relate to the material, I will start a new thread.
Another problem I have run into is the rudeness. Why? If you feel you need to hurt some ones feelings to make your point, then it doesn't belong here.
I have had Handejector tell me not to let them get under my skin. He is right. I have let rude posters dictate how I would respond. NOT ANYMORE. If your response is rude you might as well leave it off because I will not respond.
Thank you for letting me vent!!

Tlay - "high jacking" a thread is pretty common here and some Members are bigger abusers than others. I'm not sure why in happens but as Lee suggested, don't let it bother you.
I've made too many friends here and have learned volumes from the Vets - to me, that's the most important thing:)

This forum has always had a reputation of being one of the most polite and civil forums on the interwebs. It is still right up there with the best, but I have seen a deterioration over the past year or so. Many of the old timers rarely post anymore and there has been many new comers who need to get on the wagon and shape up.
Rudeness and thread crapping don't belong here.
 
People post how their thought process works. Whats seems completely irrelevant to you may make sense to the poster. The next poster adds to it and so on until the tread is nowhere near what ut started out to be.

For instance, the tread talking about airlines has one guy going off about todays lazy youth. How that is relevant to the popularity of one job from 1960 to taday i have no idea but it makes sense to the poster. There are no Maytag repairmen or milk man but that doesnt equate to lazy youth it equates to a changing industry and job market.

Sometimes people really do just go off somewhere completely random. No biggy. No different then a OP posting a question and getting 4 pages of the exact same answers. You'd think by post 10 its understandable

Outstanding....

....Rabbit stew recipe

German Rabbit Stew Recipe - A Recipe for Swabian Rabbit Stew | Hunter Angler Gardener Cook


Sorry....couldn't resist...:D

I got all worked up about it for a while, but have come to believe that posts running astray are for the most part unintentional (unlike the rabbit recipe I just put up. It really is good)

Kinda like the old telephone game from kindergarten, by the time the message got to the other side of the room, it was nothing like the original.

As far as rude or abusive posts, that's what ignore is for.

Aw, rats, you beat me too it!
 
It's the spelling and grammatical errors which used to burn my toast. They're still there, however. I just don't read them.


Or stated another way:
There still their, I just don't read them.........anymore. :D

I agree with the OP and I'm probably unknowingly guilty of that at times. I in fact went back and deleted a post of mine in another thread after reading this complaint. Good wake up call OP!
 
I think you are supposed to

Wink at a Pizza

Smell a Pretty Girl

Stomp on a Flower

or something along those lines.:D

(Had to be there;))
