How come some people in R/H (??) forum start threads in order to embarrass other posters? I am pretty sure I am speaking for most of us here who don't like calling other people out for no reason.

Case in point #1:
//www.city-data.com/forum/relat...r-h-forum.html

***

I actually agree with the OP that I like shorter posts and talking to people who will actually take advice and aren't just venting. Just don't think calling out a bunch of people in a separate thread is a great way to go about it.

It's also against the Terms of Service.

Some people say that a lot of posters don't put ENOUGH detail.

I prefer people that include the gist of what they are trying to say but I would like to know some details so I can assess the situation better.

Most people don't have he sound of mind to know what matters and what doesn't when making posts about their immediate issue. They are lost in the trivial details out of their confusion on the matter because they themselves are still piecing it together in their minds

This breeds annoyingly long exasperated posts full of deatils that are not very pretanint to the reasons they come looking for advice

That is the majority anyways.

Some are people who focus solely on the trivialities in order to escape discussing the real issues or issues that deal directly with change of themselves.

They want to reaffirm to themselves that they are "right" by fighting what others have done "wrong" with/to them.

I like posters and people who explore all angles. It gets boring to read the same reply over 100 times.

Yes well, take note of how many people who dump every detail they can think of in to one post actually come back to have an actually discussion or explore those "other" angles

It's not many.

It's either a post dump with no follow up or someone fighting others and ignoring what they don't wish to hear/discuss

Some people help keep a thread from getting buried before everyone who wants to can read it as well.


I like people who think outside the box in particular. Someone somewhere finds a critical detail others overlooked, ignored or just weren't interested in commenting. Some details push the boundaries on what can be said and what can't. I like the guys with balls who take the chance.

It's free entertainment.

Don't read....into it so much.

People are people. Most don't accept the good advice anyways.

I would say that the great majority of posts here are exactly that. Surely you have been here long enough to figure that out. Or maybe you are just venting?
