Yawn!

Mya:

I applaud your maturity and intelligence. Your advice is 100% correct. The first rule of debating is attack the message but NOT the person.

Mya-you're absolutely correct!

I haven't been using this site for long, but I find it an excellent service. I haven't seen any "anti-social" postings (yet). But anti-social behavior is a way of life. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, and they should be able to express them as they see fit. The rest of us should just take the negative comments with a grain of salt.

I find it amusing that some of Fodors most "progressive" posters deem posters they don't agree with as being "anti-social." In George Orwell's 1984, Big Brother declared non-conformists as being "anti-social." A fellow named Joe Stalin enjoyed using the same term some years ago. So did, I believe, a fellow named Adolf Hitler. Memory tells me that Mao Tse-Dung used similar language.

this area is suppose to be on arkansas & I didn't see much to do with it,maybe someone just doesn't get it.

I always wondered how these old posts resurrected themselves. If I interpret the previous post correctly, posts do not just disappear. After posting on the general interest board, the thread is then placed on one or more of the other areas of interest? Thus, this thread was high on the list on the Arkansas board because it hadn't been visited as frequently. A person visits the Arkansas board, sees the thread, and thinks it was intended for that site, responds, and then the message is brought to the top of the general interest board again? Is this how the posts and threads work?

People like you keep resurrecting them, dear. When you click on it, it goes back to the top and unless you click a particular state, and post something elsewhere, it will stay at the top.

Why the condescending "dear?"


What might have been an attempt to answer my question was marred with a snide reference. When reading posts and replys, it is hard to decipher the intent with which it was said.

Sorry, it you meant nothing by it ;-)
