For my money, what rt said is the root cause of what you said. Joel Send a noteboard - 09/02/2011 08:56:25 PM
Everyone is tired of it. Or, at least that's what it seems like to me. I could be wrong.

When it's reduced to a hand full of people who've all been 'round the same issues together a dozen times familiarity breeds a LOT of contempt. With no new contributors and few enough of the old ones it very quickly degenerates into:

"You're a :censored:! "

"So's yer mother!"

Work each other into a lather, rinse, repeat. Granted we could all benefit from some of the old civility, and I've gotten at least as bad as any, but unfortunately I think it's a vicious circle.

One already knows exactly which argument one will get into with exactly which other people. nossy - 09/02/2011 03:21:03 PM 418 Views

That's hardly a surprise considering the site is running from EUROPEAN SOIL!1!! *NM* ironclad - 10/02/2011 08:14:10 PM 133 Views
I think there is just a general lack of people talking about pretty much anything anymore *NM* random thoughts - 09/02/2011 04:25:35 PM 131 Views
For me, it's an increasing lack of time as the economy picks up. Tom - 09/02/2011 04:46:08 PM 411 Views

It's still discussed, too much almost. Stephen - 09/02/2011 05:59:56 PM 398 Views
Note: I see the irony of my reply. Sorry. Stephen - 09/02/2011 06:41:38 PM 517 Views
I don't see the irony. Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:25:41 AM 374 Views
It just seemed that way to me, sorry Stephen - 10/02/2011 07:58:05 PM 324 Views

Hey, when was the last time ireland got into a war that wasn't with ourselves? Stephen - 09/02/2011 07:18:20 PM 302 Views
I'm fairly sure the "European" comment was because two of her three topics were American ones. Legolas - 09/02/2011 07:38:44 PM 361 Views
Were I you, I would post about the election, yes. Joel - 09/02/2011 08:59:48 PM 361 Views
My personal strategy is posting what I find interesting, whether it gets replies or not. Legolas - 09/02/2011 09:09:13 PM 352 Views
This of course begs the question... *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 09/02/2011 06:03:20 PM 145 Views

Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 09/02/2011 08:38:23 PM 135 Views
Sometimes, yes. Other issues, typically theological ones, I can't stomach remaining silent. *NM* Zalis - 09/02/2011 09:27:55 PM 227 Views
So basically we're sick & tired of each other. THAT is a true death knell for the community. *NM* Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:23:29 AM 140 Views
That doesn't follow Camilla - 10/02/2011 08:00:45 AM 382 Views
