Words of wisdom for new wp members

Post Reply New Topic

Always listen to what other members have to say, even (or perhaps especially) if you don't agree with them. There's a vast cross-section of people and viewpoints here, so before you get involved in discussions, take a good look round the site to see what goes on.

Follow your heart, instead of a one sided person/opinion poll or other hierarchy

Ignore shallow posts based on over-populated or zealous views

Walk away from dogmatic- busybodies with few sociable interests

Learn from each other and to respect others

Be the change you want to see

Don't judge others because of a lack of persona

Be yourself

Now what are newbies supposed to do?

This topic post is very interesting.
I was interested in this thread for reasons I can relate to and demonstrates any survival skills needed.

The above posts lack any kind of new insight besides telling the user to 'get lost'.
I'd rather be mum to a group of foreign exchange students than play step mum to any unruly crowd.

All some Americans want to do here, is argue, argue, aruge..until their mouths get stretched into some poor oblivious state of mind.
Do you have any real/non opininated feelings that don't bounce back every last word?
I'm not interested in opinion making every last point, and creating a side show for it. I didn't come here to endure that.

I think they need Addicts Anonymous as the familiar stomping ground.

Notice, these people won't be told for their personal attacks, as they are too long in the tooth now to really see past caring...oh, and ever heard of cross posting?, posting the same topic over and over again?

If you can exercise a right to an opinion, also know when it becomes invalid to that person..

This topic is making me really curious as to what goes on in Love & Dating

^Stop, are you American? or an expat? maybe a property surveyor? Phew, your none of those. great! some of you know I'm only kidding.

^^Try not to bare your soul too much or you'll never make it past the Haven and the Women's sub-forum.. let alone anywhere you might look to inhabit. Wrong Planet Discussion is completely optional and never tires of re-entry.
I think there is a bittersweet taste in most areas of the site.. some get dried up, whilst others just try to get by.
You can always look forward to paying back your own homage ..at any time.

It's up to the individual to write thoughtful input and display their own common tongue.
If others don't the unfamiliar tone, they might need sound written instructions just to make an innocent past-time look morally self-effacing.
I get tired of seeing innocent people get pushed around, slated and sped over rather than sided with. A person with some willpower created this thread, this one speaks volumes.. but there must be tons of people out there wanting to generate fake positivity to its highest heights, just to create an underlying new tension for boring psyche games and faded stamina.

All in all make your last moments count, the humour may have filtered out of the back room understudy, but somewhere the reality you choose to define your honour makes it all worthwhile.

We can always rake in new support from newbies, who have trekked here from the real world they've inhabited.

Another thing, is not to make it look like your taking sides or, warden control put you onto house arrest before they've even quarantined the situation. Ooops, I did it again.. sorry Boring Brigit.. and Heavenly Father.

The perks are,.. there are no hidden perks.. see all of you on the Camel Trail where the sand dunes aren't so deep.

The good news is that WP is a whole community of folks who are just as weird as you!

There's nothing wrong with necrobumping in and of itself.

If you are trying to get into a conversation with the OP and they haven't been active for years, that's probably not going to get anywhere, but the L&D advice in this thread still seems spot on.

The normal war between the sexes, but ramped up because the combatants are all low self-esteem autistics. Not a pretty sight.
