I've just had the "Add this Interest" window pop up with the Interest being "fear" under the heading "People I Admire" Is it me or is this just too ridiculous? Can someone please explain this to me because I just don't get it.

I haven't exactly had "Add this Interest" of "People I Admire" and then Fear..but listed as "Health Concerns" and then "Fear"...but either way, there is NO way I want to add "Fear" as an interest of mine...isn't that kind of an oxymoron? I mean why would one want fear in their life? Wouldn't one rather be rid of fear instead?

It's a wonder it wasn't under "Hobbies I enjoy" There's a few weird ones in there too. LOL

Yeah I have noticed these bizarre interest headings too - I think people sometimes just get fed up trying to figure out what interest and heading to put a discussion under and voila ! lol Having said that there are times when some of these bizarre headings are used to make a point - not always sure what but I am a bit naive! xxx

I know for a fact that some people are making up "interests" in an effort to be amusing and point out how silly things are but I'm afraid they'll only point themselves to the exit. If people deliberately try and damage the site in this way, it won't go well for the rest of us.

It was not suppose to go in that one so I do not know what happened there Yes I am the Culprit but I do know I did not put the Fear into that section I put it under Life so I really do not know what has been done on that one I do apologize for that

Not your fault gabs...it's obviously the silly way the thing is set up. You're not the first, you won't be the last.

I'm sorry but I can't explain that either... if you find someone that can provide you with a reasonable explanation, please send me a private message, because I really want to be enlightened in this matter.

It seems it is a glitch of some sort. The person who posted the discussion that preceded the 'add this interest' query saifd that they put 'fear' into 'life'. How it ended up in 'people I admire' is the weird part.

Oh my God! Fear is the people i admire? who has added this interest? Can there be someone named Fear. I really think its funny one.

It's just ridicu;ous, isn't it subha? I think someone has perhaps been a bit silly and I'm being polite.

Lately I've seen a lot of discussions posted under heading that I don't understand for the life of me why they were put there. If I don't know where to put something I usually go for 'life' or 'people'.

I don't know how the others have responded since I am answering from my email. But maybe they messed up and it was to be People I admire are people who face their fea or conquer their fears. Could be a mistake. Wonder if mylot will let them change it? Well, if it isn't one of those reasons then I haven't a clue. I'd be just as confused as you on the matter.

It's not something on it's own. There are quite a few of these "interests that are not a good fit. I'm not so much confused as annoyed at the silliness of it. LOL

You can do it, try again and again. After sucess, you will feel a great pleasure.

I had that come up as well. I just shrug it off. I am not sure how it happened, but I figure that anything associated with computers can get scrambled.

It didn't scare me and I didn't add it...of course. I think it's just one of the vagaries of the site, not a problem, more an annoyance.

That makes absolutely no sense to me, Ms Tickle. I can't imagine what one would have to do with the other.

It's a bit of a mystery. Could someone perhaps be trying to be amusing? Perhaps not because the post it was attached to was more about health. It's got me beat.

Yeah, I too am getting sick of those pop up add this interest things. It gets really boring when you are in a really interesting Post and you are making responses to other peoples responses and you have to keep waiting for those da** pops up to go away. It just wastes so much time!
