Ever post something potentially flamey and no one bites?
Not that I post flamebait, but some days I'm just in a mood to be argumentative and I don't censor myself. Then I keep checking back at the thread with that little twist of anxiety in my gut, thinking someone's going to say something nasty and I'll have to be prepared to defend my point without blowing my top...and no one replies.

Sigh. I can't even get abuse when I go looking for it.

4. Yes, I posted that there are too many slavery films,
that Passion of the Christ was no more anti-semitic than movies about Nazis are anti-German....

No takers. Sigh.

Maybe everyone just agrees with me, which would be nice too.

5. Happened to me the other day in GD
I replied to a post with what I thought was surely a controversial reply and nobody even noticed.

Ouch, that hurt. :)
