Acceptable Thread Drift

[Rasty]

HikerMom would you agree or disagree that some threads are ridiculous? In the three homeless person threads no one presented any evidence that the offender was doing anything wrong. The newest thread could easily just be some guy camping but some assume that they are up to no good. I tried to ignore your intolerance of homeless people but could not. There is a long history of homeless living in the woods. It's a little personal for me because we had a homeless man living in a shack in the woods where I grew up and he was murdered because some idiots thought he was worthless. His name was Charles but everyone called him Charcoal Charlie. He was never a drain to society and lived peacefully in the woods for thirty years. My suggestion to you would be to stop posting about the homeless as your going to get the same reaction every time.

HM, you really spent ten minutes writing all that? Glad you held back how you really feel.

I'm not old yet!

Up to 17% thread drift is acceptable, 18% - 31% is marginal, anything above 32% is not acceptable.

Maybe you should let the "hate" go... Bottling it up inside is so unhealthy.

The hate doesn't seem bottled up at all.

I know what you are saying about ridiculous threads. But, this site is full of CrAZyness. From multiple usernames to personal attacks... it's all covered here. It's like the "good ole boys/gals" site for hikers. Then, there's the snarky trollers. They purposely go around insulting people on their own thread, making them look like total idiots for posting or commenting. You can get random snarky comments anytime, anywhere on any thread. Just b/c they don't agree , they say things like- you really need to take responsibility for your thread, like you're some kind of dumb-ass. Then, if you protest about that fact, you are futher insulted. People, on here, will START a thread making fun of your thread. Then, the "inside jokes" start popping up on any random thread.
If people would just ignore threads and comments that they think are stupid/ridiculous then no one would be insulted. People that don't think the thread is silly, will have a great time on the thread. But, I really can't see this ever happening here. In a perfect world, right? Where's the willpower? IDK that any is needed. If you can't help yourself, then you can't help yourself. I say, just be yourself, let it fly.........don't hold back. You fit in better that way.


I can already here the comments now... you are a narcissist, you have an axe to grind, you are beating a dead horse, you think the trail is a fantasy land, you hate people that don't smell good and aren't clean, you unfairly judge people that don't look like you, you aren't being honest with yourself or anyone else on here.******* UGGG**** (you're killing me), you like to scare people... yada yada yada..... they didn't hold back, why should you? AND, YOU have the right to determine what thread you think is ridiculous... if it's "calling your name", then I say- go for it. You could always change your username and be someone like uh... Kent lady?... idk, undetected. Just be careful with that .... you might get "caught". Games people play... smoke and mirrors.

You forgot "I'm never going to post to this thread again"

[WingedMonkey]

Oh wait, I'm gonna just post one more time, cause so far no one has said I'm right

Depends on the definition of "never"

[WingedMonkey]

OK, this time is really it. I've had enough, you won't hear from me again. This is it.

Did ya'll hear that Phyllis Diller died? I was stunned. I mean, I truly thought she was already dead.
