Yes I do. If someone seems sincere, I try to give straight answers. However, some posts just beg for a humorous reply. I don't make fun of anyone, but sometimes throw out a glib post. (It is sad that very few understand my sense of humor

)

Of course, I do realize that certain folks who post do it almost purely for the comical aspect.

I'm guilty. When someone is preaching that they have the one twue way or telling everyone else how they are doing it wrong or feeling it wrong, I bite my lip and try to move on (not always successfully). I try to respond to people who are earnest in the same mood and I do sympathize with those who are feeling pain. Sometimes, when everyone is having fun on a thread I figure ... why not.

I generally post in a serious vein ... and I know I am one who posts a lot from personal experience and I guess that must annoy some folks some of the time ... but I DO try to show how that relates to the OP and their question. I generally follow Mum's "rule" of "If you can't say something constructive ... don't say anything!" I get a bit narked for the OP when people immediately jump into a thread with a sarcastic negation of the OP's opinion, dismissing it completely. No need for that, if it doesn't apply to you, then move on and leave it to people to whom it does apply to answer. I also get frustrated with those who jump in and obviously haven't read the thread ... and then get stroppy with the OP or a recent poster when it's them that have misunderstood because they are ill-informed.

I do appreciate a lot of the positive humour that pops up in threads too!

I have been all things mentioned by the OP. I have been serious, comical and talked all about me me me

. I am funny with my friends and irreverent when it is called for. I try to warn people if they say, " he did blah blah,am I being abused?" I used to crack jokes when things got heated on the board's, but the Mod doesnt like that so much. Something odd has been happening lately. Some posts, if I dont feel I have something to add, I wont post. Also, if someone is being an attention whore but not listening when you give advice they asked for, I dont get frustrated. I just ignore them. If you feed the animals, they will continue to beg for food.

The tone and wording of a question can most certainly effect the answer

Go to the appropriate forum in which you want to post. In the top left corner is a tab, "new post." Click and type in a title and then post your question.

Being new to posting here this thread has been exceptionally informative. I don't think I have the skill yet to tell who is being a me me me whore and who is sincerly looking for answers. I normally post seriously, and often relate it to something that happened to me, and once in a while toss in a little humor. But, as time progresses we shall see just what kind of poster I will be.

And side note, Love the Joe Pesci reference.

Do you change the amount of seriousness of a reply depending on the type of question posted to the boards?

I've often noticed that questions, depending on how they are phrased, tend to get better reactions. It's been My perception that things involving safety in wiitwd, skill sets, off screen dynamics, seem to get better responses than posts detailing risky encounters, how do I types, and the online relationship woes. Perhaps this is due to My own cynical thinking of late, but I'm wondering if anyone else has thought the same.

Of course, I do realize that certain folks who post do it almost purely for the comical aspect. Others can't respond to a question without writing a novel that has more to do with themselves than the questions posted. There are variations. I was just wondering what other people thought.

If it's about money, real estate, business or return on investment...I start out serious until I discover the other person doesn't know shit about what they're talking about...then I send small flammable objects to their home and never speak to them again.

If it's from a Domme I've spoken to once, who demands that I call her "Ma'am" or "Mistress" solely to have a normal conversation with her, I usually tell her to go fuck herself (in the most submissive of ways, naturally).

If it's anything to do with politics (or any comment of any kind whatsoever from Popeye)...I start out laughing and then try like hell to find some way to contain my inability to deal with idiots...and then stop typing.

And of course, if it's from my Mom...I simply agree....tell her she's right...and always will be....and then tell her I'll call her again next Christmas :)

Please Griswold, don't take everyone the same way... And if you have been hurt in the past by anyone, for any reason donut close your heart to people. i'm sure that there is no one with all hatred in there hearts and someone that expresses themselves as open as you are i'm sure you would have other locked up feelings inside you. Take it easy and look after yourself more then anything else and when the time comes be ready to offer your real feelings with an open heart but using your head at the same time to the person that deserves to benefit from you.
