for the most part - the live and let live approach - especially in the general forum - is probably a good approach as long as the defined standards arent being abused ...

but i gotta tell you - there are some members as of late that dont seem to have a single thing to offer - anywhere - but making inane stupid comments on the end of every thread they find.

all last week during the day you'd see some pretty good thread content - then at a certain time all of a sudden each and every thread that previously had some good conversation happening - just dropped dead because of the 'thread killers'
I call it forum pollution.

there is never anything wrong with joking around .. but christ - cant it have a small degree of cleverness ?

I know this is MY problem .. i shouldnt give a shit really ... but other folks seem to share my feeling ... you'll have a smart or fun (or both) little exchange going with a few folks - then all of a sudden there's this wet fart of a comment - and people lose interest in the thread.

not everything everyone says will be gold .. but i've seen a visible increase in the number of members who's sole purpose seems to be leaving these little shit stains in every thread they can be arsed to click on.

and yes, i know there are people who probably think the exact same about my posts .. no doubt about that.

so .. i guess all i'm doing here is presenting my point of view... no solutions, no suggestions, no forseable resolutions.. .. its just whats been bugging me lately.
