Suggestion about new subforum

[Excited Penguin]

Honestly, if you are going to be THAT nit-picky about not getting your way, then start up your own forum and do as you please on it. I've run across countless topics where people posted but they announced they weren't sure if the forum or sub-forum they were posting in was the right one. You've already been told more than once that no one person makes the decisions. They discuss things together. You've got quite a few admin and mods here explaining things to you. Just because it's not what you wanted to hear is no reason to be rude to those who VOLUNTEER their time here.

It's one thing to make a suggestion, but now you're just flat out trying to bully the staff here into giving you what you want by insulting and arguing with them. I can guarantee you that you won't get it. Not like that.

Should I get into what being rude and bullying means, also, or are you bright(excuse the pun) enough to research it yourself so as to not wrongly accuse me of things I didn't actually do. The subtle difference between what I did and what you mean to say I did is there to be noticed by the mindful, meanwhile.

As for arguing, don't see anything wrong with that. Care to indulge in rendering your own interpretation of said word's negative[albeit imaginary] connotations, that is, unless you mean what I think you mean, and then you're just bootstrapping the whole thing, seeing how you can't really sense emotion online(unless, of course, you're actually making that claim, but in that case, this discussion should rather take place in the Skepticism & Pseudoscience sub forum, and not here, don't you agree)?

Y'know what you can do to prevent a thread from getting buried? Make it a great thread from the offset. Make it a thread which people *want* to comment in, and the thread will always be high up in the list.

Protip: titling a thread "Meh" pretty much ensures that sort of response.

This kid needs to learn how to write a headline.

As I already said, I didn't really care about that thread, thus the headline. Either read what I already addressed or expect me to ignore any of your further input.

^^ This. Look at 'my' "What's everyone up to..." thread. One drunken rant made at a low emotional ebb and I suddenly tapped into the forum zeitgeist, creating the second most popular thread of all time which is still going strong. On the other hand, I've posted many threads in which the only post is mine. You can't make people engage with your threads if they don't want to; but you can make your threads more appealing.

So blaming the sub-forum for apparent lack of interest doesn't get you anywhere. Neither does insulting the Staff - and especially the owner! - for trying to help.

Hey Pool, did you invite your brother here by any chance? Just asking, that's all.

Read your own posts.

In the last few pages you've called the staff lazy, insinuated that I gave you the finger and told you to shut up, insinuated that even if the staff did implement your idea, we would probably "dumb it down", and then penned a long winded derogatory post about the meaning of the word "insult".

But yes, please tell us how you aren't insulting us.

I can't be bothered to address the gazzilion wrong things about this line of thinking or it's tone. 
Oh, the irony.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, sir, chief of staff, sir!

Funny that.

Fine. I submit to the prevailing mindset.
And that's only because I actually like you, for some reason. Let platonic juju win, for once.

jk, of course. But one can't induce change by oneself.

Not to be misunderstood, though. Everyone and everything needs to be criticized from time to time(especially the higher-up's). Failing that, empires fall.  You would think atheists know this, of all people. Oh, well.
Nevertheless, I hope something will be done in the future about gravely needed upgrades regarding subforums.
Also, don't hate the sinner, hate the...whatever.

Line of thinking? You are the one claiming not to have insulted us. I'm just pointing out the instances in this thread where you clearly have.

You have been overwhelmingly condescending to people in this thread. People, I might add, whose "crime" against you is a simple disagreement. Drop the attitude and you'll do so much better, both here and in the real world.

Go on and ignore me. The only thing it means is that you will not be able to read and answer my points.

I mean, it's not like you listen to folks anyway. You've given a clear demonstration of that here in this very thread. You clearly prefer being obstreperous to having discussion; you clearly prefer taking offense to taking insight.

No skin off'n my ass, boy.

Serious question, excitedpenguin.

Do you suffer from OCD?

Apparently. At least from your point of view.
Let's not fall into the diagnostic pit, however. That's a very risky thing to do.
