1. Because we fear that no-one loves us |
|
Or, worse, that everyone has us on ignore.

4. I gave up worrying about that after two weeks here |
|
I've seen a lot of my threads fall off the page within minutes. So, this gives you another response to add to this thread.

6. yet, some people have not. |
|
Many of mine go by with very few responses, even though I think they were clever. But some harp on it and complain about it.
I don't get it.

9. I would think because they view it as some sort of rejection... |
|
And they want to know why they're being rejected. That'd be my guess. My threads usually sink like stones, and it's annoying, but I don't care enough to incessantly complain about it.

18. yeah - I used to buy those bags as a kid. |

I wouldn't eat them all in 1 sitting though - that would have surely killed me, even then.

Edited on Thu Jul-21-05 01:14 PM by caty
we continue with an interesting "conversation". Most of the people who reply are very interesting and informative. However, once in a while there will be some one who as "gotten up on the wrong side of the bed" and tries to demean or twist something stated that was not meant that way. They apparently get something out of doing this, but I don't know what it is. I guess some people just want to argue.:shrug:

32. I came here for an argument |
|
I like having discussions-- arguments, if you will. I like to test my ideas against the prevailing wisdom, and maybe learn something.
But I can't do that by myself. Therefore, I'm happier when somebody answers me.
It doesn't happen often enough. Either I'm not provocative enough, or every one of you has me on ignore.

On edit: I should probably say that I mean "argument" in the sense of "logical support of a concept" rather than "fight."

over a difference of opinion. It's when someone wants to make something out of nothing in a mean spirited way.
