Where are all the posts by new members?

Consider also that not every member is American and either knows/cares little about USA politics.

Agreed mitchezz I am neither interested in American politics nor do I regard them as any of my business, it takes me all my time to keep up with U.K. politics never mind another countries politics as well.
 
I'm sure Straw Man loves the ad hominem he was fed here (last night). Poor Mother Hubbard's cupboard must be bare. :wink:

uhoh....gotta go....me so skeered!

For those complaining about the threads they don't like, you need to realize that there are others that wade through pages and pages of trivia of games and pretty maids and their kittens (as Holly said) looking for an interesting topic that they can enter into.....I don't see anyone complaining about that.....that is because we ignore it, as you should.
 
I don't think there is a one size fits all option here, nor should there be. All that is required IMHO, is a soupçon of consideration for other's sensibilities, and the ability to move on to another thread when necessary.
 
I must say I am totally at sea about some of the comments about this thread.I started it as a welcome for anyone new that may post a comment if encouraged.That's all, pure and simple.
 
Maybe we need a thread for Old Members...where the New Members could post? :)

So, guys, where do I find these dreaded political threads which I should know better than to go anywhere near, but don't?

I don’t think the political discussions are “dreaded”. I’ve seen some rather interesting political discussion on this site and others. But while a debate Is one thing, sometimes people just want to bicker back and forth, way after they’ve made their point, and sometimes people are obsessed with getting the last word in. After their target(s) have moved on they get angry and (licking their wounds) say “that person must be afraid of me”. Yeah....okay. :rolleyes:

Only a fool with nothing better to do allows themself to get tangles up in an endless, pointless, time-consuming, bickerfest. But, <sigh> some people will tell themselves just about anything in order to make themselves feel better. Fine. It's not a crime. :shrug:
 
Hi,
I'm new. I just signed up, and yes, the first subject I went to was loneliness. I think it's because I flip flop about being alone, and spending time with others, and this dilemma confuses me. If I spend several days alone I might crave others' company, then sometimes after several hours, all I can think about is being home again. Am I nuts?

I suspect some of them join, start reading the posts, see a lot of the unkind and judgemental comments, the arguments, the sarcasm, sniping, etc., and can't get out fast enough!

Sometimes when I see a greeting from a new member, instead of posting WELCOME! I feel like posting ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. I don't do it, but the thought occurs. ;)
 
I'm still fairly new. I tend to stick to the more light hearted threads just to have a bit of fun and light relief.

The last time I entered a serious thread. One of the more self opinionated other members, instead of using the "reply with quote" of one of my posts. Simply copy/pasted a section of it, so attributing it as his own.

Nope. At least if you are, then I am, too. I often have similar feelings.

To give him the benefit of the doubt, he may not have known how to do the quote function. He wouldn't be the only one. Just a thought ...
