Why are you so defensive to have r and r out there?

Why are you so defensive to have it gone?

To be honest, I am just a huge believer in individual responsibility. I think that if people don't like a thread or a forum, they aren't obligated to read it. I don't think people need to be protected from being offended. They are adults, they'll get over it.

Hmmm... I find this post interesting. You appear quite offended yet you are here daily participating in the very same thing you are complaining about.

I'm not sure I understand your point.

I am here daily posting on various threads which interest me. I also find myself here daily defending my personal beliefs and that of others who believe like me as it seems to fashionable to berate said beliefs on this board these days.

If I walked by a faction who was beating up on homosexuals or fat people or Jewish people (insert most any group you like), I'm likely to defend them as well.

But, I will make a deal with you. If you put me on ignore, I won't be a thorn in your side anymore and I'll do the same for you if you like.

Its getting hard to post the same things on two threads..

But..

Its not protection. Its being discrete.

Like not saying, "I F'ed your daughter" to your father in law, but "Hey, we are going to have a baby"

Protection would be making r and r special access.

Im not saying, take it away, Im just saying, lets not give it a spotlight when the spotlight should be on "suzie smiths congrats thread that she made goal"

Then people should be posting on Suzie Smith's thread if they want that to have more emphasis. The only reason that the RnR threads show up on the "new posts" and "top 5" is because people are posting on those threads. If other people want other threads to be more popular or have a higher emphasis, they should post on those threads.

Again... its the same people who post here... the same people who push it to the top.

Its not more popular when the same group push it to the top over and over again

If you a have 1000 people on a board and 960 are spread over 1490 threads, and 40 people on 10 threads, it only looks like the 10 that the 40 are on are more popular

Awww, com'on... I've seen you defending and it's just not as you say. And no, I won't be putting you on ignore. Not a chance.

Then the solution is to post more on those other threads, not restrict access to the popular ones.

The r and r forum is only popular to a limited population base of lbt.

We got it the first time you wrote this. And the 2nd.

[anonemouse 1]

So? The solution is still to make other threads more popular, right? Or mark the entire RnR forum as "read". Problem solved.

It would be interesting to see the number of lurkers. LOTS of people lurk, not everyone posts. That goes for all threads, the whole forum, and all forums.

[wavydaby 1]

It only works if you keep marking it "read"

The moment someone comes along and posts.. its "fresh" again

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that this thread is in the Rants and Raves forum?
