Pat Robertson's Daddy (at one time)

[...of J.Temperance]

I give up. General Discussion Forum isn't for me. I tried and I failed, hardly anyone responds :cry: So away I go.

Here's the link again:

2. Don't take it personally. That forum flies on evenings like this.

A lot of postings go unanswered or underappreciated, particularly when someone like Pat Robertson advocates the assassination of another country's leader or a missing woman story gets too much press.

Hang in there and try, try again.

5. Well

Thanks for what you wrote there.

But I don't know about hanging in. It seems that if you make a comment or whatnot, whats the point of even making a comment if three people respond. Sometimes people will ask you a question, and you respond and answer their question and then they've already upped and left. Why ask someone a question, if you're not sticking around to get the answer?

I'm thinking of just staying in the UK Forum, people just seem friendlier there. No offence, I'm just being honest about this is all.

9. Some of us don't always reply

to posts, but most posts are read. All input is appreciated and not forgotten.

10. I think I should change the La. State flag to something more

Neutral. I think that might be part of the problem. I only chose it out of the list because my Mother's from Thibodaux, La. But in hindsight, I think it was a great mistake choosing it because I don't know, maybe the South is unpopular because it went for Junior.

But there's only ONE elected Republican statewide in Louisiana, everyone else from the Governor down is a Democrat, and the La. State Legislature is Democratic as well. But I'll see if I can change the flag to something more neutral. I'm not very technical, but I'll have a go.

13. I sometimes don't respone to threads even if I find it

very interesting. Sometimes I just don't have anything I can add to the discussion, or I just don't feel like taking part.

Don't worry about it. Post where you feel comfortable.

3. Don't give up!

If you have something valuable to say, never give up! Hint: The phrasing of the subject line can make a huge difference.

:hi:

8. Thanks for all advice and whatnot

I'll give everything everyone wrote some serious thought.

4. Hey dude,hang in there. I am the all time thread killer but even though

I don't get responses too often, I see my very same words or ideas pop up periodically, so what the hell I just post away anyway, Do not take it personally,it seems if you leave for just an hour or so page 1 everybody is all over it stuff has fallen off the face of the earth in that short time.

Be brave, mighty forces will be with you.

[seabeyond]

just gotta reply cause hey

you say you are a thread killer. i have been known to do that myself. i have a particular knack, but then, i generally have that exact intent

any hey you.

6. isnt that interesting, wow. hm. hey........

you will notice unless you are in a fight with someone, there isnt a lot of one on one conversation in most all the threads. i post a lot, i get a lot of 1 or maybe 2 replies to my post. it doenst go a lot further than that. much is shared info, once said, not needed to be repeated

i like the dont take it personally

gd is fast movin and informative and need to be on your toes, why i like it

7. That is pretty interesting.

I guess in a way it just shows the development of the American Plutocracy.

11. Interesting

But the fact still remains that Robertson has usurped religion for his own agenda. He is a real hypocrite!

12. Hang in here...I rarely get responses to my posts

but sometimes I'll get many. Every once in awhile, I'll post something that I expect no responses to and I'll get many. I can't figure it out. Folks read much more than they post to.

14. I've gotten 3 responses to my posts in the last 24 hours...

...and 2 of those were dressing-downs for being a sexist PIG because I think Pammy Anderson's skanky...

Hey, "stiff upper lip" and all that, eh?

[Ladyhawk]

15. Hey, it's OK. :)

General Discussion is BUSY AS. Most folks have posts that sink like a rock, occasionally. That happens to me all the time. Sometimes it hurts a little, especially if I thought I had something important or clever to say, but don't worry about it. :) It happens to everyone. :D
