Are You A Pot Stirrer?

Interesting, a 6 year old thread lays dormant and suddenly springs back to life without missing a beat! :LOL:

Here's a hit from Googling "pot stirrer":

"They have talent, but stirring the pot allows them to draw attention to themselves for self-promotion. They can do good work, but stirring the pot to create drama masks their performance or contribution short falls. They are both outspoken, but also chit-chatting behind the scenes."

You're welcome. I get bored.
 

I find it amusing that with all the arguments started on the site that there are only 4 1/2 self confessed pot stirrers on this 6 year old thread and two of them aren’t even here any more.
..... 🤔🤐
I never considered Situphil a pot stirrer. I consider him the funniest member this site has ever had. It’s too bad there aren’t more like him.

I agree, I never got my jollies by creating havoc and starting trouble. Too much negativity already in this world, why stir the pot to get reactions?

Now I'm no angel. I don't like pot stirring or pot stirrers......however...........on occasion...I have been know to display an onery streak. And I will deliberately start something for my own amusement. But usually it's if someone has ticked me off. LOL!
 
Hope the majority are thinking people that don't do labels or 'Go Team!' polarized marching orders. People who research issues in depth and form opinions based on independent thought rather that what's hurled (literally and figuratively) from the mouths of biased, polarized media.

pot stirrer.... i don't think of it that way. not HERE, but on another board there's someone i have YEARS of history with... and not good. she LIES about the dumbest things and is protected by the mod there. most of her lies are just stoopid... like Jon Lovitz, the pathological liar from old-time SNL. it's when she lies about things that could be harmful that i get going. when she said declawing cats is fine and feeding pets dollar store hot dogs is fine and said her VET agreed... not sitting by.

right now, she has forgotten to check her script from previous posts about stimulus checks. first bragging about how much she (and special child) got and now saying she didn't get anything and that he didn't qualify.

I believe in people being able to air their views, disagree with each other, sometimes emotionally. Some subjects are sensitive. This can be done while still remaining civil. But, when posters say cruel things, baiting someone in hopes of promoting discord or as an excuse to belittle another for their own needs, that is

pot stirring at its worst. It can also lead to pack mentality where multiple individuals tear into their target, like sharks scenting blood in the water. That is something I won’t do.
