    .... and are a complete waste of space. If you've got nothing to say, don't post it. The rest of us don't care. And I, for one, am absolutely irritated with going into a forum (not just RT) and see 3 or 4 threads right on the first page that read 'This thread is about nothing, I just felt like posting."

    Stop it.

    Well they have you to necropost so they have nothing to post about.

    not directed at anyone in particular. Just stop doing it. If you've got nothing to write about, there's nothing wrong in writing nothing.

    Free speech is one thing. Worthless drivel is another. [​IMG] thanks for accentuating the obviously oblivious.

    It's not going to happen - worthless drivel rules this thread :mad:

    The good news is everyone here isn't what they proclaim to be. I've found some posters to be quite intelligent but choose not to display their wares for fear of rejection.

  10. I find you humourless, spiteful and pathetic.

    Do you need a history lesson? (ie.....skip's new rule?)

    There, I said it. This is the beginning of the end.

    here's my question, how do you define nothing?
    what one person finds interesting would be completely different from another, and my 'nothing' would be different from yours
    my threads about nothing have been stated that they are about nothing, allowing you to avoid them :)
    this is random thoughts, all about the random and not necessarily including intellectual discourse

    Hah. You're the one who resurrects posts from fucking 2004 and all you add to them is a smile. If that's not nothing, I don't know what is. So you don't get to bitch about this shit.

    Well, you do, but your opinion is pretty much worthless about this hyporcritical bs :)

    the biggestt problem as i see it is, this is a websoite tobe enjoyed by all, websites are only as good as the content they provide.. this website has somuch amazing content on it that is of such value..but noone would ever know it because its burried under avalanches of threads that have the intelectualequvulance of...my balls itch..just thought you should know..hahahaha

    if you happen to come acrofss a forum & every threads about itchy balls..& yours feel just fine..why the hell would u give it a second look?

    i'm sayin random thoughts is about random thoughts..noticce theres 2 words there.. thoughts included some of random thoughts is really interesting when u can find it.. but ithinkthere should alsobe a random stupidity.. or a place to just say nothing important at all

    or..if its really not important why post it at all?
    shows just lackof thought when there truly is a ton of interesting stuff on here..if u can find it

    &sometimes it takes reviving a thread from 4 years ago with a smile just so something interesting can be found

    imagine someone flooding every single forum here with a million or sothreads that all just say..i like cheese & push everything else 20 pages back out of sight...is that still something?
    everyone whocame here would only see..i like cheese..& think..nope nothing here worthwhile & leave

    The rejection does not come from upfront criticism and ridicule though. The rejection of intellectual thoughts come in the form of being ignored. That being said it's not out of fear of rejection, but merely due to rejection.

    I can get all the attention I want as I'm quite good at it. It's made me target to argument numerous times as well as made me some good friends. While it does seem that just about anything I post gets noticed and gets a decent amount of attention, I get the least amount of attention to my thoughts and words when they're serious and thought provoking.

    Also, I've noticed many of you are harping at cerridwen for what we've dubbed necroposting. I'm not sure who, but I did notice one person even called her words hypocritical bullshit. You now fall into the same category you've placed her, by your own logic. Instead of asking how or why she considers the things she does to be different from what she has a complaint against, you go straight into attack mode.

    Have we lost all manner to think around here? Have we lost all logic and reason? The more I see things the more I believe this is in fact the case.

    Thanks, indescribability. [​IMG] I really don't rant all that often, and when I do I get seriously attacted for it. For all those who do it, it's a really lousy way of going about.

    What I posted was a general rant, I wasn't finger pointing. To call me names and dump on me is a real asshole thing to do, for those of you who've done it.

    And regarding that comment about me recycling old posts, well I haven't done that in quite a long time, so quit rehashing that.

    Every once in a while I wonder why I haven't left yet, and then something like this happens, and it reminds me how many people here are absolute tools when this is supposed to be some kind of free speech site with supposed 'hippies'. Too many people in here are such hypocrites.

    I'm not a hippie, and have never liked you. I didn't like you in the old forums and I don't like you now. So I was using my free speech to call you a necroposter because that is what you are known for.
