You know I really shouldn't start this thread because I already have a feeling I know where this is going to get me, but in any case here goes. Yesterday I started a thread, and it wasn't really a serious thread, because at the time I wasn't in a real serious frame of mind. It was a thread about wearing shorts and why the big deal? Again it wasn't a real serious topic, but something I had noticed mentioned in quite a few postings. I kind of knew what the answers would be, but I was curious none the less.
However I actually was surprised at the amount of responses it got, and in such a short amount of time. Some of the responses actually surprised me, in how virulent and hostile they were in regards to the question that I posed. I posed the question light heartedly and I guess I was naive in expecting the majority of the responses would be in a similar vein. God was I wrong. It was like by asking that question I had personally insulted everybody or maybe directly responsible for the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.
The problem I have is that since some of the responses were so insulting and aimed directly at me, the original poster; I would have liked to have been given a chance to respond, directly. Even one of the moderators commented in a negative fashion supposedly to a subsequent post that the moderator thought I had posted in response to somebody. Another poster correctly indicated that I in fact hadn't yet posted since the original thread starter post. Unfortunately I hadn't gotten a chance to look at the thread since the original post. By the time I did get a chance to look at it, and wanted to respond; I was surprised that it had already been closed. Therefore not allowing me the privilege to respond.
Let's see I originally posted at 9:13 pm yesterday, the thread was closed at 11:21 am today or about 14 hrs. later. Just curious is that the normal length of a thread being open. Or was I or that particular thread singled out for a reason. Sorry I didn't get back to the site quicker to check on the responses, but I did want to get some sleep last night, get up have something to eat, shower and take a walk and do a few other things in my life. My bad, for not checking back with the thread until 6:00 pm today.
Alright I am done with my question, let the slings and arrows and insults begin. By the way I will try to be a little more vigilant in monitoring this post, so that when the anticipated insults coming flying in, I at least can respondaranoid:.
