Only those threads that don't start out bad go bad.
Looks to me that they all go bad.
The ones that start out bad go badder.

Is that a mea culpa? a confession of guilty?
Pray Our Father one hundred times and you'll be pardoned. Maybe... we'll see then if you deserve pardon.
Can't be helped for the moment. We have a guy who goes to the "First Church of Hate Everybody" and believes in spreading his gospel message. Kinda sad, really.

Threads going "BAD" is a matter of perception rather than them actually turning into a hell hole.
When I came to this forum the one thing that attracted me was it's openness & fair transparent moderation.
For the most part we all knew each other, & we all knew pretty much what to expect when push comes to shove.
Then, we have a resident, myopic, hate almost everything regarding the 'New World' (https://dndsanctuary.eu/imagecache.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FFr9vZ9T.png&hash=ba09439a6bdcac137fdfda82b14a30d8" rel="cached" data-hash="ba09439a6bdcac137fdfda82b14a30d8" data-warn="External image, click here to view original" data-url="http://i.imgur.com/Fr9vZ9T.png) troll, who may just only be
but one bowel movement away from sainthood -- poor anguished soul.
On the other hand, we have quite a few "genuine" people, people who actually wish to express themselves & honestly discuss an issue.
The OP of this thread is one of the best examples of what it takes to be "Genuine". (https://www.smileyfaze.tk/slides/cheerskj4.gif)
Not always absolutely correct on any particular issue is he (though he sometimes 'thinks' he is), but his traits are commendably honest & he is most always open to discuss the pros & cons of just about any issue.
Now, IMHO I don't think threads go 'bad'.
Some die quickly, while others tend to go slowly kicking & screaming.
Some seem to go on forever because they continually renew & evolve.
The ones that sour are typically the ones where a minority of participants, rather than meet the issue head on, some lesser people rather attack the messenger rather than discuss the merits, or lack thereof, of the message.
Frustration combined with a weak mind can also set a quiet man into a raging lunatic, but usually that's short lived.
It's not the threads fault, but the participant.
Politics & Religion can also strongly polarize viewpoints to the point of creating a mob-ish atmosphere.
All you need in that instance is a troll to spice up the vitriol a bit, & you then have the poster child of what is perceived as a 'bad' thread.
The treads themselves don't go 'bad', the participants get a little testy at times, but that doesn't make the thread 'bad', just at the worst unsavory to the casual stranger, or the unsuspecting drifter.
Didn't someone say "Variety is the spice of life."?
Well, that's my honest opinion for what it's worth. (https://www.smileyfaze.tk/slides/hatsoff.gif)
I blame the big banks and their lack of punishment thereafter.
Also, Glasgow. :troll:
Nice try. :D
Excuse him, Rj. He's a young 'un.
Ach, aye, i do acknowledge that side jimbro and as is probably not appreciated out in the world do feel for him......
Well, he's had a taste of British "higher" education — so, he may be, still, a little miffed! (Luckily, RJ, you've had no such provocation… :) )
Yes, higher education...

I do have to say Oakdale that the chance of an ex-colonist seriously making me irked is beyond it. Do keep trying if you cannot get out the chair for some fresh air.

Yes, my dear
Icarus of the North, I dare say you're right: You're unflappable! Your
telly tells you all you need to know… And that's enough for you; there seems little room left in your skull for anything new.
But I do sometimes wish you'd let a little more of the English language in, way back when. Oh, well. Spilt milk and silk purses and all that, eh? :)
In you inability to be as equal to someone who has been in the public eye do feel free to inform us as to where you learn anything. Books can be bias you know but I will be fair and allow for your education failings as even your government has had concerns over recent years.
In you inability to be as equal to someone who has been in the public eye […]
When
I was in the public eye I was playing guitar and singing (…never you mind, how well! :) ). It was honest employment, and great fun.
Getting up on your hind legs to blather was what you did… What came of it? Perhaps some tittering tee-hees — so, I'll give you credit for entertaining. But was there anything else accomplished? Anything purposeful?
Besides stroking your ego, I mean…

I am working on a thread that will be so bad that only a couple of our regulars will be able to make it worse.
I can help on that :)
Just for the best on making worse. (Or vice-versa.)
Elsewhere on the web, under another name, I've been sore tempted recently to make a text-wall approximately the size of "War and Peace" with no-not-any punctuation. Do you think, if I did this, that this could make a really bad thread worse?
I can help on that :)
Counting on it.

Hey, hasn't anyone noticed that bad threads sometimes go good? :)
Hey, hasn't anyone noticed that bad threads sometimes go good? :)
Well, I noticed that you said something... does that makes this a good thread?
I don't think so but it's certainly a good beginning. After my analysis, you need three people posting for making it a good thread.
Three people are enough to represent mankind evolution. One says A, the second says non-A and the third one tries to combine A with non-A. All mankind philosophy never made more than that.
DnD is still at a lower stage, it lives, at the best, from A an Non-A posting. Kind of early African humanoids.

I don't have the words to express my feelings for that. :P lol
Ella Fitzgerald said…she'd simply forgotten the words!
But I myself remember a musician I'd worked with when I was a teenager much later, when we re-united, asking why I didn't tell him I could do that: Sing what I played on the guitar, while I played it!
I told him the truth: How did you think I knew what I was playing? :) That's how I practiced!
How could he not have known this? (Too much weed, I think…) Practice is a bizarre concept, for some. Knowing what you're doing is…
Well, you know.
The idea that people learn to do things is almost verboten, now: Either they're born with a gift or they're "precluded" by racial/ethnic/political/sophomoric memes — which is to say: They are wussies!
I'd suggest a poll (but I wouldn't post it…): How many wussies would self-identify? :)
Excellent stuff there jimbro - well done and very enjoyable!

I don't know what wussies means but people don't learn because learning things it's dangerous. We aren't too far of seeing books being forbidden, only television induced state of coma being allowed.
There was atime years ago when television was a more reasonable thing but these days it is more junk.

What you mean to say was that
most people were more naive, then! (Now, they're stupider… :) ) Television is a great medium, but it's rare that it's well done.
I still prefer books, and (live!) conversation.

Only troube about being a fanatical book reader and not going out is that when meeting people it can be a failure.
Tell that to your ex-wife.
I would — but she has seldom wanted to talk: She just wanted to
dis those in her circle that had
dissed her. Not much there, for me; that's "dead" conversation. (People were always going "dead" to her, for disagreements and conflicts. I'd eventually realized that this wasn't a linguistic peccadillo, a "turn of phrase": She meant it! Such vindictiveness is -still- incomprehensible to me… Oh, well.

* I assume -based upon good evidence- that I am "dead" to her… :)
That's probably for the best.
Been there, done that.
I can feel confident never having had that to contend with.

Well interesting coming from someone who has never been seen here looking as if has anything decent to wear. I will be considerate and understand the envy which was not intended. I still have my collecting can for money to help when the ex-colonies go bankrupt but will be helpful and give a clothing donation to you. As one who is still active outside the house, speaks at rallies and meetings and so on I fully understand your lackComing from someone who has a President running up and down plane stairs with sleeves rolled up I suppose it is a norm hence my consideration.
On more basic terms...nice try frustrated man.
When the ex-colonies go bankrupt, the ex-colonials will go with it, as will Europe, Japan and China.

Nice try but your lot will be top of the worse off league considering the record of the poor and homeless presently in existence. :P

Not yours? Those standing on the shoulders of pygmies? :)
Well you should know about pygmies as your corporate controllers treat the ordinary ex-colonists as mental pygmies so more your experienced corner than mine. Wish you would help yourself by getting out more and mixing with people Rockwell, sorry, Oakdale.
