If You Know So Much.. Write A Thread About It.

I hate threads that like to be clever to get attention.

Or the clever trolls that stalk them.

What I know is in my first thread post below.

Side note - the ones currently doing this are gay couples. They live to embrace their role in life. Something us breeders need to revisit.

Anybody that knows so much is working and getting payed to write. People who write essays on this site I do not understand as they change nothing, never have, never will.

I'm confused NRE. There are a lot of contributors on this site who do post meaningful, educated replies to threads but do not start threads. More than there are thread starters in fact. The tone of your post implies that if we actually knew what we were talking about we'd be making threads about it. But that can't be the case right? Because that's really illogical.

Your confused because you didnt read the thread.

Which by the way is also a huge issue on ATS, its fairly simple, writing in a thread whether the OP or a poster, is like being in a conversation, the OP starts, and others talk one at a time (since thats how we read them) and we participate.

If you miss something that is said or walk in the middle of the conversation you dont know whats going on, and may say something out of context, or reiterate something that was already said.
Peace, NRE.

Sometimes something appears to be out of context in the opinion of the thread starter but that is what discussion is all about, learning new perspectives one didn't think of before and seeing connections between subjects, how they influence eachother even if it doesn't appear to do so at first sight.

It's why I like ATS so much. If you can't handle the fact there are people out there with opinions which one doesn't like and knowing those people are never going to change their opinion then ATS might not be the proper place for you. Or it might be the perfect place to learn how to become a more tolerant and respectful person, knowing all these different opinions and how to deal with it and still have fun together.

Hi OP and Everyone,
If we all start threads...and don't respond to other peoples' threads...then aren't we just all talking without listening?
I am another one of those people who don't write threads (only did one)...but I do post replies.
I thought the point of starting a thread, was to open a discussion (or share news/info)....but in order for the thread to survive...you need replies.
Many times I think of a topic only to log on and see that someone else has beat me to it, lol. (Don't forget about all the members who yell "Use the search! It's already been done!")
Not trying to be argumentative....just my opinion!

Oh and if you dont agree with me, well then you should have written your own thread about it

You are probably right, we should own up to the fact we enjoy communicating and post more threads. I will try to do this.

WOW!!

Love the pure honesty !
