swimmermom3 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 You are infringing on my copyright. I'll see you in court. :toetap05: To answer the OP: threads go down hill because those who think they're always right really p**s off those who always actually are. And, if you give a goat white bean chili he'll... REALLY smell bad. I think if you dig even deeper, it comes down to fear: fear that you are not being heard, fear that an opposing viewpoint, belief, or practice somehow diminishes your viewpoint, belief, or practice, just fear of so many things. On some threads, you can almost smell the fear, the hysteria. And no, sadly there isn't a goat in the room. Good night to those who are retiring for the evening. Thanks for playing. The laughs have made my night. Peace and joy to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen in CO Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 "hurricane supply" ;) :D :lol: That's good. When I lived in South FL, they would close the liquor stores when a hurricane was in the gulf to try to prevent hurricane parties. So it is important to stock up. I haven't had Brugal before. I'll have to see if my local place carries that. I'm a big fan of Appleton Estate whichis a Jamacian rum. Rum Runners. Yum Yum. or just rum and a lime.

I found out after 5 days of being locked in my house with dh and two Autistic kids with hurricane Francis that rum is INDEED a necessary hurricane supply. :D Brugal is soooo yummy! It's Dominican Rum. Get the anejo if you can find it. :) I make really good rum runners too.

sunshine Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 It does annoy me a little, however, when this happens. I wish they'd start their own thread instead of hijacking mine (or the one I was interested in!). I'm not sure why the threads so often go off kilter lately. I do remember this happening on the old boards, but maybe not as often as they do now. Some posters do seem to thrive on the controversial threads and inserting controversy into threads. And, then beating the controversy they inserted to DEATH. I think they must have boring lives. :lol: Hey! I resemble that remark!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what happens on many contentious threads. There are many people here who like to discuss issue from a deeper perspective than most as an intellectual exercise. I play devil's advocate all the time-here and in real life. I frequently argue *points* in arguments without discussing my own position. Yep. And how people respond to that is in large part a matter of personality. Which takes us to angela in ohio's thread about male vs. female personalities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth Conley Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think everyone can think of at least one issue they think is worth making a real effort to convince other people of. Often such a subject of discussion is raised. I have such an issue, and did attempt to argue my point. It wasn't too surprising to me that arguing the point was unproductive. Still, I thought it was worth the effort. What if arguing the point had worked? To me it was worth a try. Having tried, I've decided not to enter into debates on this particular issue any more. To me, this issue matters. I'm only going to become miserable by trying and failing to convince others. I don't enjoy arguing. If it's not going to be productive, then I won't make myself miserable with it. I think some people like debate. I am grateful that these people exist, because they often argue my point. It doesn't seem to bother them when their antagonists behave badly to make their counter-point. To these hearty souls, it's all part of the game. Kudos to the debate team. Long may they argue!
