Why no responses to threads?

[flash]

I might get the boot from this forum but here goes..... in most threads,polls mainly, the questionaire gets more flack for his poll instead of straight answers.I think I will stick to observing if allowed. Thank you (players)...who gave answers and not comments.byebye

This is vague, and I want to understand. Can you give an example, or point me to a thread that had this problem? Hell, I might have stepped on toes, and I want to know. . .

Two examples offhand:

One poll asked what major was most important, or that you most want to win, etc. Each option had a choice next to it; PGA Championship said something to the effect of "you're an idiot if you select this." Some - myself included - gave the poster (of the poll) grief for it. Another asked how far you hit your 5-Iron. The first option was less than 140 yards, the second had 150 as a lower bound. I remember giving some grief for this on account that my 5-iron distance is about 145.

hey pal,neither one of those polls were mine.better do your homework better next time.

[flash]

again I apologize to the 'players' on here.you wannabes who would pick'eye candy' as your choice of players to play with should just be satisfied with your 5'x5' poster on your bedroom wall.lmao

I can only guess that it's because you don't use paragraphs, punctuation or capitalization. ;^)

You don't get booted for having an opinion.

I think in some cases, the poll or thread is one that has been rehashed several times over. A quick use of the Search function prior to making a new thread or poll would probably cut down on that.

I'm guessing this is in response to my response. If so:

I didn't imply they were. Those were two polls in which the person who wrote it got some grief for the poll, and why I believe the grief was given. If you have a specific poll or thread that you're wondering why a response wasn't given, let us know.

Flash, you gave an opinion, which is fine, so here's mine:

1) You posted a LOT of questions shortly after registering. You should have used the search feature to find existing threads rather than starting new ones.

2) Your posts tend to exhibit poor grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. Even the first comment here alludes to the vagueness of the point you're trying to make.

3) Your threads have been rated lower, my memory tells me, than most other threads because of these facts. Perhaps some people don't read low-rated threads. This thread, for example, is rated 1 out of 5.

Although I'm fairly new to this forum, I haven't really noticed much of what you are talking about, but I'll take your word for it. I am a member of another forum (different sport/activity). In that forum, there are a lot of people who just like to give others a hard time. Some of it is brutal and constant. If you can sift through most of the garbage, there is some great info by people who want to contribute. Like I said, it must be so bad in my other forum that I don't even notice it here, if it occurs. My advice would be to develope some thick skin, ignore the garbage, and listen to the people who care enough to try and help you. If you stop asking questions or leave, you'll only be hurting yourself. Also, some sarcasm and dry humor doesn't translate to well when typed. GL.

Now, now...no need to get nasty about it. I think you're being a little too sensitive dude. Oh...and see those "Shift" keys on your keyboard? How about that long key at the bottom center with nothing written on it? Yeah....how about giving them a try? It's easier to read when those keys are used correctly. Forums are all about giving your opinion, ranting, raving, agreeing and disagreeing, etc. Don't let it get to you if people go off on tangents or attack the thread itself. As long as it doesn't get too ugly, it's all good. Now, get back on that thing and post away because, really, nobody cares powerfade

Hi, just want to say thanks for all comments.I desered most. Long story short is I'm grieving the loss of my best friend who was recently murdered,and obviously haven't got over it yet. It's a long story but I am getting help and will be more clear headed in the future.I am sorry. Flash

[powerfade]

Hey flash - sorry to hear about something so tragic.

Don't be so hard on yourself. While this isn't a forum that people come to for 'laugh out loud' entertainment, it shouldn't get you down either.

No apology required.

[Rusterson]

Well said Erik.
