people are sooo rude??? For example...yesterday I posted Do looks count??? Several people responded with a remark that this had just been posted earlier in the day...well everyone is not on here all day long...just wondering why sooo rude??

all's i asked was for you to slowly remove yur clothes.!!!!

I used to post on the forums all the time but have found them rather clickish...now I stop in once in awhile, sometimes just to read. And just to clarify there is a difference between being funny and being down right rude.Everyone should be able to distinguish between good natured humor and rudeness.

LOL LOL LOL, now that was funny!!!

LOL LOL LOL, now that was funny!!!

I bet the Hawkeroo has said that more times than "Why don't girls like nice guys?" has been posted in the forums!!

[Hawkeroo's my bud, I gotta razz him a little bit.]

What I think happens very often is people begin to associate you with certain forums. Like for me its religion or science and philosophy. It just depends where you post most of the time. So in that sense it can become like a clique in high school almost. Oh god, just take a brick and kill me right now.

hey bro howzzya bin, gotta love my hawks this yr.!!!!

I just want you to know I meant no offense to you earlier or now...I just used myself as an example of what I see on the forums...and high school was ok so you can put the brick away! PEACE TO YOU! AND PEACE to LEX!! Not only is he a great writer but would make a wonderful public speaker!

They're way too good so far -- I'm saying playoffs, yes, but first round exit. GO PENS!

I still can't get over their "One Goal" slogan. Keenan would have loved it.

Thank you. I like to use the old public speaker's trick of picturing the audience naked, but every time I do, Seahawks shows up with a camera.

People tend to be very self-absorbed, and fail to realize that just because they have seen a particular topic before doesn't mean everyone else has seen it.

It always amuses me when someone moans "I've seen this same thread 14092 times" while completely ignoring the fact that new people sign up every day; and, for some of them, this will be the first time they've seen the topic posted.

Some people just need to realize that the site is for everybody, not just for them. It's a difficult concept for some to grasp.

This is sort of a pet peeve of mine.

I signed up here during the JSH days, at the tail end of 2006, when it was a much smaller site.

Even then, there were some who were constantly bemoaning the fact that new people were joining and "ruining" everything -- the most common lament was "I don't like the site the way it is now, it's not [/color=red]MY JSH anymore."

As if they had some kind of proprietary rights in it....

Apparently they wanted the site to freeze membership at 6 or 7 people and stagnate ever after.

And THAT sounds, to me, like a pretty poor way to run a dating site....

So the site grows....isn't that (at least theoretically) the best-case scenario for most of us? I think so.

It's in the wording, though.

As a general rule, it's done with a sort of "My, aren't the peasants especially annoying tonight!" attitude. As a put-down. "The noobs are so naive and clueless, let's go watch Mr. Howell decant the champagne now."

Which I don't think is the kind of cliquey exclusionary elitism we want to be promulgating here.

JMO

Lex has said some things here tonight that have needed saying for a long time! Thank You Lex!

AGREED! And thank you MRY for bringing it up! LOL
