Let me begin with a quote from another thread:
Many times there are comments that I agree with very much, or that make me smile. However, I won’t post a comment consisting of just, ‘LOL’. If there is what to add to or refine or argue, I’d comment.
This seems initially to be very logical. However, it was in reply to someone saying they feel very ignored and invisible here in the CR as nobody responds to their posts.
There is no way a poster can know that you ‘agree very much’ with them or that you ‘made them smile’ unless you post that in. It makes a huge difference, as several ppl said on that thread, to get appreciation for their post.
We’ve just celebrated Lag Bomer where ??? ????? famously said ????? ???? ????. So when we see a good/witty/clever post, lets make a point to post our thoughts. It only takes a second but makes a huge difference!
I would agree with you, but then others would have to comment on my comment and then others would have to comment on the comment of the comment and then others would have to comment on the comment of the comment of the comment and then others would have to comment on the comment of the comment of the comment of the comment and then oth <General Error #A42D92F47B494 – Line too long!>
Shticky Guy – WOW! I couldn’t have said it better. Thank you so much for writing this!
Shticky Guy- Good post.
Shticky Guy – thanks so much! On the graduation thread, many of you probably know I was quite upset at how one particular poster was writing to me. After it was closed, I thought of 2 questions for him, but didn’t want to start another post and go through all that again.
My question was – “would you talk to me this way if we were talking in person?” also “would you like someone to speak with YOU in this manner?” – Why can’t we just be civil? It’s ok to disagree but come on – a little respect for one another.
So again Shticky Guy – thanks so much for starting this thread.
gefen: On that thread in question, you called him a baal gaava and a chutzpinyak. Is that civil and would you have called him that in person?
Pac-Man – you are 100% right. What I said was not civil. I was responding to him in anger – he really set me off! I am not the kind of person who would talk like that. As I mentioned on the other thread – he brought the worst out in me and NO- I’m not happy about it.
ok lets be big and move forward with this. I think that because we are not talking to ppl that we know and because we dont see them, it makes it easier to say things that you would never say to them in person. that is one of the reasons that texting is bad for teens (we are not going into that now) because when you write things that you would never say
Shticky: Anything to make Mommy proud. (and you smile)
Sometimes, after reading a good post, I think, “Boy, that really makes a lot of sense.” And that’s it! There’s nothing to add! Especially after doing so a number of times and getting no response.
What I find most annoying is after arguing about something till I’m blue in the face and I put in a lot of thought in my post – there’s NO response!!! HEeellooo??? C’you at least TELL me I made sense?? Or that I’m right??? If I feel I’ve been wrong in my opinion I SAY SO.
Gefen: I came to terms with the fact that there are LOTS of people out there who aren’t “mentchen”. Tough. I can’t work on THEIR midos (mine is just enough:)). I also visit the CR MUCH less than I used to. (And post when I’m either super angry or in a grand mood (or super tired). Ok don’t worry – I’m in a good mood – and tired;))

Not just teens; anyone, and email is also a problem.
C’you at least TELL me I made sense??
That makes sense. (As do many of your posts, which I don’t respond to, because there’s no “like” button.)
When you post something, it shows up with full force. When I say to myself, ‘hmmm’ or ‘aha’, it means I’m considering what I hear. When I post a comment saying, ‘aha’, that is a statement. It can either sound sarcastic or GREAT!!! You can’t post a light nod.
ZeesKite, if I catch you one more time dabbling with infinity…
Here’s some logic for you:
Function add(n)
add = add(n)
End Function
Please post back when you’re done following it through.
I think there is a minhag in the velt of Internet forums to post “+1” to show that you agree with the post. It can help a poster’s self asteem as well as show other posters that it is not a Daas Yachid.
Speaking of self esteem, where is good ol’ charlie brown when we need him?
Shtickster, this thread is impressive!
Thanks, Kapusta!
A lot! 😉

+1
SG,
A paradox. 🙂
DY: Thanks. I think I always agree with your comments. Oh, and yeah, you make a lot of sense.
