I'm not including you. You always have very good posts, that deserves more replies than it gets. No,no, you are the hero on this site. Maybe I reacted too strong, but I'm surprised to see how many good topics going down the drain. And I'm not talking about my own posts, they can be stupid as well, on a bad day. Maybe I was stupid to bring this up as well?

I'm kinda that way, too.

That was a very good one . Just in my line of humor. I just might step over the line here, insulting ppl, etc..But I think I have a point. But then again, I tend to look at ppl not sharing my point of view as stupid and that's wrong. It seems like I woke them up, anyhow.
Greentea, I like you very much, you got a sense of humor that I like, and you use it well.

Please note that I edited my post after, and wrote your name correctly

I'm glad you like me, firstly because I want a Norwegian friend and secondly because nobody else does

Not kidding this time!

I enjoy your posts too, greentea! Don't say that no one likes you! I think people benefit from your presence here.

I enjoy many of your topics too, mosez.

I have my doubt about that. I have the impression that you are a highly likable person, and that is expressed right here at WP. You must not think less of yourself

Thank you both very much, you've cheered me up

I agree, Greentea rulez (I also like the one with jasmin )

I like you, too, Greentea. You always ask very thought-provoking questions. If I don't always respond, it's for lack of time, not interest.

Mosez, I think that WP is really like any place else in that someone saying something extreme or very controversial will get people all riled up and ready to shout their opinions about it, so those threads get tons of responses. Sometimes, I look in to see if there is anything there for me, but usually, there isn't. I'm not much for controversy these days. I have my moments of getting huffy, but they're few and far between.

I'm much more interested in threads that have to do with interpersonal issues and questions of why people talk or act in a certain way in RL. I also tend to look in on the threads where someone is having a difficulty of some kind, to see if I can say something that might help. I wish I could do this for everyone who comes here looking for support, but there would be no food on my table and my kid would forget what I look like.

Anyway, this is a pretty motley crew here and I think the best thing is to not take things personally.

Thanx. I maybe stepped a bit over the line here, I just might got the wrong impression. I'm not whining for myself here, but I think many topics should have more attention than they get. But again, as many here says, it's a huge site, many topics, so I admit, I don't have time to explore them all myself.
Just hope nobody feels insulted by this post. At least it seems like nobody wants to destroy the newbies. Just the point I tried to get through.

Well mosez, I'm glad you're feeling diplomatic, otherwise you'd have transgressed one of the WP laws (and possibly gotten yourself banned). Be careful.

As far as threads are concerned, some take off and some don't.

It's not about who starts them, it's about how interesting they are, how captivating you make the subject line and the time of day etc...
Most importantly, it's about the subject line. I had a quick look back through your posts and although I'm not sure which one you're complaining about, I can see that some details look a whole lot more interesting than the subject line suggests. It should be the other way around.

It was maybe stupid of me to post this s**t, I'm not whining on my own behalf, but I feel many good posts going down the drain unnoticed. From the poll, so far, it seems like nobody tries to freeze anybody out, so I maybe overreacted a bit.

Well, I admit that I stepped over the line here. But I'm not whining on my own behalf, I know I can be real stupid at times. But it seems to me that many topics should have more attention than they get. Again I'll say that there are many topics and ppl might not have the time to explore them properly. So, I just might go about this from a wrong angle.
And yes, I'm always diplomatic, I never try to hurt anybody intentionally.

The topic of this thread begs the question of whether or not the reader actually wants to exclude people from WP.

Yeah, I think I got about this in a completely wrong way. I have stated this many times already, so I don't bother to delete the thread. Besides, I've got many nice answers. I admit however; I shot and missed. That's all.
