O.k., I don't post much on the board. I have been a member of the board in it's various forms for over 5 years now. I am what you would call a long time member, but not especially well known. So much is the case I bet that most of you have stopped reading by now, if you even started.
I don't post much because I don't have a lot of time. Also I can be somewhat irreverent in what I have to say, and the tone can be taken the wrong way. I have the privilege of being able to read from work during the day, but I try to be selective in what I read. Threads like this one do tend to irritate me somewhat. I'll explain why.
I really enjoy reading Gravekeeper's threads, especially the cats
. I have however stopped reading after his initial post. As a long time member and someone who has seen a lot of good and bad threads and posts, I have found most of what follows a Gravekeeper post to be banal and somewhat childish. I am not attacking anyone in particular, I am just explaining what I believe I am reading.
I understand the Mods frustration because it is their responsibility to try and read as much of what goes on, on the board as they can. They have lives and families too, and to have to waste their time reading one word posts and calls of "me first" must be onerous.
The bandwagon jumping will always go on. However I think it's time that some people started to take a step back and think about what they type before they reply. Ask yourselves: does what I have to say, really need to be said? Will it contribute constructively to the overall content of the board? Do others really need to read it? Would it be better sent through a PM?
If I've offended anyone, please understand that it was not my intent. Thank you for reading if you bothered.
