I mean, I do make a thread every once in a while but the point of the forum is that everyone posts good stuff and that there is respect for the community - I should be able to engage with the community without having to post my own threads. I shouldn't have to fight trolls in every thread that I open.

Yeah, but that Bystander Effect is one of the reasons we don't have good posts.

I wish everyone would stop whining about the forum. It hasn't magically turned rotten overnight. Mute the people you don't want to hear from, mute the silly threads you wish would go away, and what do you have? A nice forum full of things you want to talk about.

And I do mean everyone, not anyone in specific, nor did this thread goad me more than the others.

I wish I could mute people in real life.

False. You mute all those things and you have an empty forum with no activity.

That is so not true...

Hey, I post interesting threads Ava. Just join in on one. I'm about to give the ol' bumpity-bump to my PBM thread. Feel free to post!

Whenever I post in a thread, that thread instantly dies. :P

As I stated earlier today, when I joined Web Dip, the threads were SO full of Anti-semetic HATRED, hatred towards conservatvie, hatred towards Christians, etc...

Can we PLEASE STOP PRETENDING that the anger and vile speech on here is somehow NEW? Give me a break, kiddies. Grow up. What causes it? We reflect society...we reflect the trash pumped in to our heads...the HATRED spewing out onto the streets across this country, and pumped over the airwaves and the internet. You can't turn ANYWHERE without seeing people attacking people....politics, sexuality, religion....Stop pretending that it's JUST HERE and JUST NOW that these things are occuring.

lol, alternatively, my posts get ignored.

While I admit there are a lot of bad threads here once you mute 2 or 3 key people and the occasional thread there is plenty of entertaining/worthwhile content.

"There used to be a time when I used to keep refreshing my home page to see what was new on the forums. Now there's just so much trash talk and so many muted threads/people that my forum column on the home page is just empty. Screw you trolls. You ruined my webdip experience."

Ava - your hobby lately has been to post on almost every thread in capital letters saying "you don't know shit about" this or the trendy "who is XXX is he new" comments.

I'm not castigating you - just pointing out the discrepancy.

YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE AVA FORUM SADNESS
HE EATS PEOPLE DOWN THERE
DON'T FUCK WITH ME

Who is forum saddness? Is he new?

Hey ava, some advice I took to heart a long time ago is "Don't let the turkeys get you down."

And the corollary is, "...or they'll peck your eyes out." lol;

This is priceless coming from the "I mute everyone who cusses cause I must protect my kids virgin minds until they are 45" twit.

Haha. Yes.

There are no Turkeys.

@sargmacher te stuff that I say like that is in the arena of president Eden and Thucydides. I think that is a whole lot different from the kind of derailment an personal attacks by other users as evidenced in this very thread.

I wouldn't put Eden and Thucy in the same bracket. And whilst you might say that your string of inane comments are less offensive than the odious posts of others, they are still trash just as much as the former.

If you start a thread complaining about the lack of decent posts in the forum - surely you should at least hold back from posting quite so many "who XXX is he knew" comments on every half decent thread.

Don't let the door hit you in the pussy on your way out, ava2790.

lol.

MAPLE!

So good to see you again, how ARE you, we were just talking about you!

78 for the Leafs and the Ducks, a rather disappointing year for we both, I'm afraid...

But then, you didn't come calling to discuss how typically pitiful Toronto's Folly is, now, did you?

Fiber makes me.....sad...
