Open message to 'Cat and Griz posters.
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2005 12:14 am
As many of you know who have been reading my threads for years I am not a natural writer or typist. I could most likely draw this on the computer than I can write it on the computer, but this is bugging me.
Maybe it is just me but I have noticed how frustrated I have become with hi-jacked threads. I don't mind threads that maybe evolve and get off topic so much but I DO get tired of that threads that digress into the Griz suck, Bobcats suck, Griz suck, Bobcats suck,Griz suck, Bobcats suck. I get the point! some Bobcats don't like Griz and like wise some Griz don’t like Bobcats. Hell if someone could come up with an intelligent argument why they sucked I might not even mind that as much.
There have been quite a few very interesting threads the last couple weeks that have degenerated into the same old argument. I think we - the majority of us Bobcats - should feel free to discuss the positive and negative impacts of things happening in the bobcat nation without getting baited into the trap.
Unfortunately as this site gets more popular, that one irritating poster becomes two posters, then four and so on. A very few people can really make carrying on a conversation a pain in the butt
So how about a simple reminder / suggestion. Take it to the smack board! When you feel like you have to respond to smack, tell the respondent to meet you on the smack board. When you are getting tired of listening to a hijacked thread tell them to" take it to the smack board". Moderators feel free to move a thread or portion there of. Better yet just don't get baited into the typical pissing argument. I am real tired of not be able to discuss aspects about the Bobcat program for fear of all of the smack / crap that some will immediately jump on.
Am I off base here!
