Hey no fair. You have to look at the total sample size or you skew the statistics. I responded to one, only one, of your EE whine threads, and then the two here today.

I've never tried wine with Spam! Should that be a red wine or white?
Oh! "Whine". Er, sorry.

There is a place for people to discuss subjects without it degenerating into silliness, you're posting on it.
If you don't like the answers you get, tough though. Either start your own board and rule it with an iron fist, or learn to accept that you don't get to dictate how the community responds to the topics you post.

Because spamming the boards with whiny rants in the hopes that your outbursts cause the mods to force people to respond to topics the way you want is crazy! Like literally, wearing an I love me jacket talking to your invisible friends crazy. Any sane rational person sees that the only possible result will be you getting banned, and the boards staying exactly like they are now.

Have you considered posting some of those interesting subjects you want to talk about and calling out the demagoguery as it happens? It would be a lot more effective, way more entertaining, and stands a much better chance of actually accomplishing what you say you want to accomplish.

Horatio - I totally agree with your view of the boards. YM is too narrow. I mean - talking about money is great, and the people there are great - but how many times can we rehash the same ol' topics. EE is beyond ridiculous - and they have embraced that, and I'm not sure there is anything we can do about that.
I wonder if we could start a new board that is "Topics that aren't money" or something. If you want to be silly and "sexy" and drunk (I put sexy in quotes because none of what is said there is a turn-on, quite the opposite - really, I might go celibate if I read any more over there), go to EE. If you want to talk money, go to one of the money boards, and if you want an actual good conversation, go to the Topics board.
Just a suggestion - but I highly doubt you and I will get that kind of love from the power of the boards.

You guys keep saying this, but I have yet to see you post anything to start one of these good conversations you keep talking about.
I don't know what Your Money board you guys read, but easily half the posts over here aren't strictly money related. Go ahead and start a good conversation, that's not blatantly about politics, and it'll stay.
I keep saying I pretty much agree with both of you, but the way you're going about it, or whining about it really, seems like a bad idea to me.

thyme, if you actually bother to read EE, you will see that we do have interesting threads in there. Oh wait no, you only come over to whine/stir the pot.
I agree with Dark - you people complaining about the lack of good thread topics aren't really doing much about it. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

This is why I'm not posting so much. Moneyjenny - you have no idea what I have and have not read. I read every thread on EE for about 6 weeks. 90% of the posts have little to no content.
And this time, I'm not even complaining or whining. I am trying to make a suggestion for a solution.
It is clear I'm not welcome on EE - every time I post anything I get a snarky comment like moneyjenny's - I'm not going to post over there.

thyme, it's because you seem to do little more than whine nowadays. I remember you on YM and I don't recall you being like this before. Or at least not to this level. But think whatever you want to think to get through the day.
Here is a suggestion for YOU: start an interesting, thought-provoking thread. Just one. I dare you to even start one on EE. You might find that there is actually intelligent life over there.

Stop attacking me!
I won't start anything on EE because you (all) will just attack me.
(And post unflattering emoticons.)

"And this time, I'm not even complaining or whining. I am trying to make a suggestion for a solution. "
That's great. However, just like real life if someone complains and whines consistently the occasional times they do not may not be noticed or celebrated. If you believe you are going to fail if you post intelligent posts you are going to attract to you those posters who fufill that belief.
The universe always says yes. Now if you could work on believing things could be as you want and stay in that place of positive anticipation while things you don't want are happening you can get there. But, here's the key you must stay focused on what you want and you must ignore anything that happens that you don't want or barring that move on from it quickly.
Poor me, posters are picking on me posts insure you get further and further from your goal.

I'm trying to go back to "my old self" but if I say ANYTHING you guys say I'm whining.
Besides - I'm trying to stay away from EE and just be here on YM, but you guys are importing your grudges over here.

Seriously - one post where I make a suggestion - and 3 people jump on me. Oh FFS. I've tried to be nice, I've tried to be welcoming, I've tried to engage you in conversation, and I get told I'm a moron in return. When I call you on it, I'm told I'm jumping on you. What happened to the really funny Thyme that posted on MSN?

I'm sorry Swamp - I don't remember ever calling you (specifically) a moron. I think you are the cream of the crop over there. If I ever did accidentally call you a moron it was because I had you confused with someone else.
