Where are all the posts by new members?

I am agreeing with Guitarist. Sometimes it just seems to be openly accepted here you must be an America hating, gun hating, uber liberal vegan,who is just dying to see another law passed to correct some minor indescretion.. I am far far left of center but often am made to feel that I am somewhere to the right of Paul Ryan.
It is not out and out in your face rudeness, but the holier than thou passive aggressive condescension that is displayed by a couple of major players.
Now we will have a display of righteous indignation!
 

Well,,,, I am a gun owner, who ATVS in the wilderness,, that makes 2 points against me being comfy posting here.
I also like fast cars ,,,,,,,,,Let me think is there anything else I can print that will make you all glad to have me post???

On the nicer side of me,, I like flowers,, butterflies, dogs, horses,, history,, reading,, my grand daughters.

Hope I made everyone happy with this post ... there is some humor in it,,,,,,,,somewhere.
 

Well, I've made it through the first week of joining this forum. There are some really, really nice people here, I can already tell.
I love games, I am naturally curious and love to intermingle with others. Usually I don't respond to posts where someone has their dander up over some social issue that I haven't delved into. I realize that religious topics, political issues and sometimes family relations are causes for bitterness on the part of some people, so I try to avoid them. The power of positive thinking is a great stress reliever and I have tried my best to maintain that attitude since I was a teenager and read the book by Norman Vincent Peale.
 
I am new here, posted just a few comments here and there. It is the internet so of course there are various types of people out here. So I guess type at your own risk. Seems like a nice enough place, I have read some cool posts.

I always wondered what it was going to be like when I got old, well I got old and, it is not that bad, I still have my health, I can still do everything I used to although it is a little slower and takes much longer to accomplish the task at hand (the old chicks dig that part) I find the older I have become the less friends I care to be around. So it has really helped to move far away from where I used to live. Now life is more manageable, not near as many distractions. A man can stay focused out in the country on his own research and experiments, things he likes to do. I do have a few grandsons living about 20 miles away from me so that is extra nice.
 
"focused out in the country on research and experiments" sounds kinda scary and weird.

What sort of research and experiments are we to imagine? Nothing involving sharp knives and small furry creatures, I hope!
 
Well said exwisehe. We are made up of many likes, dislikes, passions and preferences. There's no reason to isolate those who differ on an issue from you.

It seems members that continually post negative things about a forum, are among the most noticed, and remembered. Probably because you don't see stuff like that in real life much. And hinting at something allows you to walk on the edge and never violate any rules. I don't think we are all that negative here folks.
 
I don't see a lot of bad things happening here but some who think negatively anyways seem to lean that way about everything. I see a whole lot of nice people in their older years sharing opinions, having fun, having a good time mostly!
 
I used to post quite a lot but can't see the point
no one replies to many of the post especially the
joke post bit pony on here at the moment

No sharp knives or small furry creatures, although I do have both around here. My experiments are centered on my gardening. I do all kinds of research, on many subjects. No frankenstein type stuff, although dr. Frankenstein did have a really cool lab.
 
Sounds good to me! I guess everyone should take what they can/need from it, and if you express negativity you might get some back.

This is the first post I've seen of yours. I'll say Hi, as I lived in Woodford and Ilford for 35 years before I moved up here 20 months ago.
 
I'm curious as to why all posts here on this thread are shown as being written 06-21 or such. Is it just me or is that sometime in the future?
 
I enjoy robust debate. I have friends on this site who hold very different opinions than my own. We enter the lists, joust amicably, then leave the field. As of yet no one has been severely maimed....

This is a very old thread (6/21/2015). Started out innocently I believe, then spiraled downward. Now it's on its second run. Shows the cyclic nature of things, doesn't it.:)

What? I don't see that here. Maybe if you try spreading out all over the forum to some other types of forums here you will see a variety of different things.
 
Nope. At least if you are, then I am, too. I often have similar feelings.

Sounds like we have a couple of introverts here. Its not a disease. At least I hope not. If it is I've got it. At this point in our lives we get to be who we really are without caring one whit what anyone else thinks about us. Enjoy it! :zombie:
