It didn't go over my head. You know you don't have to read posts or threads that don't interest you, right? |

I don't care if people think my threads are boring or stupid or whatever. If someone doesn't like a thread, be it about kids, how dreamy Fran is, the weather, goldfish, you don't have to read it and you don't have to critique it. If people are responding to it, that means it's interesting to somebody so yeah for them.
If anyone in here thinks it's dull then they should start some threads that are interesting to them. |

No. When I say don't critique I mean someone doesn't have to come in and say, "I think topic X is stupid". I like hearing differing opinions. |

I didn't think anyone was saying it was stupid. I put topic X because I was trying to make a broader point about the difference between having a difference of opinion and raining on other's parade if you will. To pick a very generic topic say someone posts, "I think dogs are the best animal" and then someone else says, "No, cats!" and someone else says, "Dogs but they have to be a golden retriever". That's all great, have a chat, have disagreements, bond with other pet lovers, etc.
But when someone comes in and posts, "I think this thread is so stupid" then I just wonder why they can't just ignore it, not read it, and post a thread that they find more entertaining.
Everyone can have their opinion though. And in Gladly's defense he didn't post it on a parent thread- he started his own so you could argue that he is just sharing his opinion and not being specifically rude to anyone. Fine.
I think the parenting talk (which I own up to doing a lot of) comes in waves. And I can see your point.
Start another topic that isn't parenting related then. If I have something to add, I'll respond. : ) |

I often feel on the wrong board reading the numerous posts I don't find interesting on here these days which are in my opinion a huge majority...and I just ignore them and leave them to those who find them interesting or at least not boring. The most boring subject of all is the one where people comment on others posts beeing critical about what they have to say, it makes this place unfriendly which I find sad as we're suppose to have something in common. If we were in a room all together chatting none of this criticism would come out. |

I think the most annoying thing at the moment is those who create new threads when there's already an active one on the same subject, especially if they've been regularly posting in it. Whether this is because they're having an "I'm here, look at me" moment, or they've simply forgotten about the thread, I'm not sure.
I never supported the 'segregated board' idea, but am now more inclined to suggest that we have a third board for "chatter" - for subjects which will interest a minority of people, and for banal conversations. Thus leaving General Chat for subjects which will create discussions and threads which most people would be interested in.
