Azalin Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) If you start a thread in which you don't care for the direction of the resulting conversation, at least try to address that within the thread. This is the 2nd time a specific poster started a thread critical of elements in social media in general, and to a lesser extent PPP, then deleted it because he didn't care for the direction it took. Don't engage people if you can't deal with their responses. I'm not going to waste my time on you any more, and I'll be surprised if anyone else does. And stop with the PMs. I'm not the slightest bit interested in what you have to say. Edited November 25, 2018 by Azalin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to go along with criticism leveled by others, and I wanted to give him the opportunity to prove that he was something other than what he was being accused of being. He couldn't have possibly failed more badly than he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't have possibly failed more badly than he did. I did as well. I'm pretty easy to get along with, even when (especially when) we may disagree. But he exposed himself real quick. I'm openly hostile for a reason - in a lot of years posting here now (gulp, almost two decades) I've never been openly hostile with anyone. Even the posters who I have gone a round or two with have (on my part) always been done with a smile/friendly spat. This is different because it's artificial.

All we have to do is report Thurmal34 to his boss for drinking on the job and he'll get fired. Gary doesn't like getting ignored. If all he hears are crickets he'll eventually leave for good.

He's so out of his league when he posts here. Just now, GG said: Well, if a poster doesn't think his threads belong on this forum, maybe the poster doesn't belong on this forum?

It was the thread about outrage on social media platforms like twitter, etc. It reminded me of his previous thread questioning the usefulness of PPP, which he also deleted.

BeginnersMind Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) If you use the search function, you will see this topic has been covered elsewhere. I thought his place was the Wild West. I’ve deleted 7-8 threads, not just those on the topics mentioned in Azalin’s post. I don’t delete to be mean—I just do it when it’s spun way off topic or devolved into just an attack thread (not just on me but others). Which that one did. I’m proud that deleting a thread about building positive online community brought us all together. We can work on the positivity but ... baby steps! With love and kisses to you all and Season’s Greetings to everyone except LSH who doesn’t want to celebrate the earth’s revolution around the Sun.
