E-mail

Dear people who are posting in every single thread to each other all day long,

There is a great new invention called email where people can have private conversations. You can get it for FREE at Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, and even from your school!

Please stop ruining GC.

I'm not actually sure who you're talking about, but there's an invention called PM where you can request things privately.

ETA: you also only speak for yourself. Others may agree with you, but you are not them.

Yes, others do agree with her.

The fact that you responded so quickly should address your first sentence...

Except that I'm not "... posting in every single thread to each other all day long"

There's no seperate conversation going on here.
THere's also nothing wrong with posting actively.
I do believe that I'm on-topic 90-95% of the time... though that may vary on a day to day basis.

So, no.. I don't know who you're talking about...

I don't know why it's so hard to click ignore if you have a problem with a poster either.

Many, many others agree with her. Some have even been avoiding GC because it's so annoying and diverts away from whatever the thread was.

There's nothing wrong with being an active poster, and the only threads I don't worry about being on-topic in are the ones that were derailed pages before.

If you'd like to point me to where you have a problem with ME? Then fine.

As long as people are posting generally on-topic, I think it's just a personal problem you're having, not an actual logistic problem. I don't know who I'm going to email about the NAACP and Bush, or other such topics. And I have taken conversations off the board onto PMs to avoid straying off topic. And I'm talking to the other posters on here, not just 2 other people. As are the two other people I assume you're talking about.

I don't have job, and I like to argue with people I don't know. So sue me.

Tom Earp · #8 07-19-2006, 04:31 PM

So,

No Friggen comment!

It is an open thread isnt it. Well last I heard.

So, Drolefille, is not a proper GC Poster? In whose eyes is this?

Give Me a break!

Long hours make me very damn cranky!

Climb off of the Ivory Tower.

Your post quality is exceptionally higher when a.) you're not posting in the same thread as KLPDaisy and AlphaFrog (although w/ AF this has been better lately) or b.) you're 'defending' yourself against perceived slights.

It's pointless in sending a PM to a few people when there are at least 10-15 other people who agree.

And if it's an open thread that is one thing.... but turning threads into 3 or 4 person conversations away from the topic is really really annoying.

valkyrie · #13 07-19-2006, 04:50 PM

Is it? I think it's awesome.

PM mama, what are you doing this evening? I'm planning to go to the gym and then watch the White Sox pound the Tigers.

Jen · #14 07-19-2006, 04:54 PM

Thank GOD someone finally said something! I don't hang out on GC much anymore because of the pointless drivel that a handful of people have brought to GC recently.

PLEASE take it to PMs or email and stop torturing the rest of us.
