Someone started a "Post your complaints here" thread (or something like that) awhile back and it was in off-topics. As I recall, it was a really long thread!! :)
But I agree with twicehappy. Too many threads are started complaining about others, rather than thought provoking topics that might actually make a difference.
I agree with Julia, too - you can set the timer for how fast a "fat sub" thread will grow to a million pages (about 10 minutes) while some really good sink-your-teeth-into threads fizzle. Pity.
Well I think I have an answer to this-lack of imagination causes it. I'm fascinated by what makes things tick-I was one of those little boys that drove his parents crazy by taking appliances apart and reassembling them.
So when someone posts something prefferential,those with little or no empathy and curiosity have something to seize upon-for they feel it addresses them personally. And the more that others reenforce these same feelings-the more they feel that they are being validated by a group. So pretty soon, a "whining community" is established-misery loves company!
However,when one asks to explore alien concepts- a sense of insecurity then manifests in the ego centric mind. They can't relate, so they decline participation. Even worse, none of thier usual peers can do any better.
So the topics end up being exploited by the free thinkers until they run out of ideas, or interest. And the herd trundles off, to find something they can "be together" about.
