Do some discussions just turn you off?

Laughter is the best reaction to most things, especially the inane ones.

No I am not sorry and I didn't waste my time. There are a lot of discussion that just turn me off. I need some good old fashion meat and spice to make them rich and worth reading. I have found a few discussion on here just don't cut it and some just don't get it either. A shame this happens but it does. You can only try and help so much before you can't help anymore. You can say it 100 times but if a person doesn't even read or listen once what good is it. So now I just pass them by and forget I even saw them. There is not much more you can do.

So you have found some disgusting discussions. In the past we had "like farms" here where a certain group would just go to each others posts and do mindless stuff. Hope that is not one of them Actually there were people here with two or more profiles who interacted with each other. We had something called a "best response"(worthless) but the two or more identities would interact and give them to each other. Of course they were caught, some were banned and I know of at least one who learned a lesson and is back with a different name a few years later.

Sometimes I do that as well. I just shake my head and exit out of the discussion without a backwards glance. Sometimes it's not the discussion itself but the comments underneath it that has me chuckling.

Some discussions just aren't worth contributing to sadly. Sorry you wasted your time reading that 1. I got a chuckle out of this one lol.

I'm sorry you stepped in some doo doo.

yep i wasted a whole 50 seconds reading this and then smacking you with a wet noodle for wasting my time..hahah

Yes, I will answer this one. Some discussions do annoy me. or turn me off. What I do is easy, I just don't bother responding.

Do they make Depends for brains? Sometimes I feel like I need them to keep my brain from dribbling out my ears. Especially after spending an hour or two working on the online training videos at work. I try not to come around here when that happens, but I occasionally can't help dribbling on the board. Sorry!

If I don't care much about a subject, I just leave it alone.

Nice thing is, I think we earn no matter what.

I must admit....i've not really come across them ...as I usually only have time to read the posts of those i'm already connected too....who don't write dribble.... lol's

Like any place we have conversations - at a party, at an office gathering, at a bus stop - some of it is going to be drivel. It's just all of us being who we are.

I sometimes tell them to write something interesting and don't give a like

I respond to discussions where I have something to contribute , the rest I read and move on..

There are lots of discussions I read without posting a respones, as i have nothing to say. I try to make quality discussions myself, and one of mine might be considered dribble, but people have laughed abouti it and responded to it. It is hard for me to come up with decent topics, as I am just not as articulate as some others in here, but I do my best. I am just glad that my discussions do have responsesa and comments, and I thank everyone for taking the time to read my discussions and give their feedback.

I suppose depends on who has posted them. There are some that get loads of responses where I will never go because they are what you are talking about.

Fortunately I haven't run across discussions like that yet. If I did, I would just leave it and not make a comment.

There are posts which don't interest me but I like them anyway because they are honest expressions of something the writer is interested in. There are others I strongly disagree with but as long as the disagreement stays cordial, I enjoy discussing them. The ones I struggle with are the "something must be done" posts which moan about a problem but don't offer any solutions.

I had wondered about this.. as a newbie, I assumed there would be people who don't quite "get it" here - and I see my wonderings have been confirmed, haha. I'm going to bet the Dribble Speaker isn't really interested in discussion.. or, on the other hand, it could simply be a sad case of not having basic literacy skills.. either way, it's a big bummer.
