For the most part, I use facebook to keep in touch with those I already know. I don't use it to meet/get to know new people. This site is used to meet new people.

Was there an explanation in there, or did you just copy and paste what I wrote? I'm not going to argue with you. If you don't want to explain, no problem.

I used to have some people on there that I didn't know well, but I ended up removing them. So, I try to keep it to people I know in person or a few from here I've gotten to know much better. I've received several friend requests from people here, and while it may seem rude, if I don't know them, I just don't add them.

Do you try to understand what people are saying, or take what they say without question?



As a Melmacian, I often have trouble understanding you humans.

"Do you try to understand what people are saying, or take what they say without question?"

Many times I think people are making an opinion and there is really no need to take it further. By taking it further it is inviting an argument/debate environment that doesn't need to happen. In an open public forum there is a time to say stop because of the site's rules. The questions may fit a lot better if all were gathered in the same room talking but not in a forum atmosphere. I've noticed that when someone doesn't understand someone else in threads here many times it turns into a pointing of figures as if someone was right and someone was wrong. The problem with this is most times it is only a difference of opinion and should have never gotten to the point of blame.

When people get their figure of blame out they start to paint a picture for everyone to see knowing that the mods are going to step in and penalize someone for taking it too far. In those cases it is not the person making their opinion with the most reasonable answer that wins, it's the one that has manipulated things enough to make the other person noticeably mad.

Social sites are cool but I have noticed there are lines and boundaries that need to be followed as common courtesy in regard to the rules of forums. Some people on forums ask questions and others seem to come on forums to provoke responses that lead to an argument. Being aware of this it helps to discern if a question is more of a probe to bait and not really a question at all or is it a legitimate question. It's an open forum so it is easy to say I'm innocent in this, but in reality there is a dig just below the surface. It takes a while for a forum member to see this and when they do they need to make a decision whether or not to answer the question. Their thinking if I answer it I will be probed to the point of defending myself, if I don't answer it I will be accused of being something I'm not for all to see.

So for myself I'm learning to make an opinion and not so much a question that may lead to a thread being derailed into the realm of heated debate and blame casting.

I used to be more involved in all different topics but after being attacked by someone I thought was a good friend I decided to stick to most of the silly or just chit chatty ones.

Also, since I am now taking painkillers sometimes, my brain might not pick up on what someone is trying to say and then I sound like a moron until I read it the next day and say "Oh crap!!! Now I see what they meant!" There is a lot of serious things going on in my life right now so I don't need to join in the threads that turn in to big discussions, that would be just one more thing trying to scramble my brain.what oops

I mostly prefer more lighthearted threads as people do tend to get argumentative in proving their side in the serious ones. I'm all for different opinions as long as people don't try to make their opinion right and anyone who disagrees with them, wrong.

I try to understand people but often times what they write isn't exactly what they mean and I'm no mind reader. That's another point FOR the silly threads, not much explanation is needed.

LOL it's super annoying. An opinion is a personal feeling, ya know?

And sometimes with the mushrooms I like to add unsalted butter. I'll then add my own choice of salt and other seasonings. Unsalted butter on it's own though I fine to be dreadful.

Of course this is only my own personal opinion and you might find that something works altogether better for you in your own kitchen.
