Are you able to explain why you took the time to post that? Do you actually know or is it reflexive? | |||

"You can apply this logic to the majority of the threads on here. They go off on tangents all the time. It’s the way of Fab embrace it. ![]() Tangents are fine, but to do that you have to touch the the curve at some point.

I doubt I'll get any answers, bit I thought I'd ask ![]() . However this in an internet forum and what you post here has zero impact on you in real life . As it is a politics forum you could argue that the only results that matter are the votes that are cast on the day of the election or referendum . Arguments in between become irrelevant . If posters ( or what is left of them as life has moved on for many) stuck to the topic some posters would have no replies to the thread which they create. They should be grateful of any reply regardless of its relevance ( and in many cases relevance is a matter of opinion ) We are currently in the midst of a national crisis. I would guess some posters will not be too busy analysing the relevance of their post , they are probably busy trying to implement or assist in solutions to the current crisis . ( this will include a wide variety of personnel ranging from front line BHS crisis to major retailers resolving supply chain issues and not to forgot a number of engineering firms who have designed and built ventilators in a very short space of time. ) | |||

That doesn't imply a great deal of self esteem. You don't start threads either do you? Interesting. I post the thread because I'm interested in the answer. If no one answers then I learn nothing. Fine by me. Why are you posting here then, and so eager to change the topic? | |||

I doubt I'll get any answers, bit I thought I'd ask ![]() People post. I learn about people. How they think. What their prejudices and biases are and how they look at information. This forum contains people with whom I would not like to spend time with but there are lots of people like them, so it gives me an opportunity to gain some insight into how they think and why. You started off your "reply" saying that everything that you were about to right had no value or purpose. Then you wrote quite a lot. Then you write something about voting for some reason. Then you indicated that people should be grateful for you choosing to write on their threads, regardless if what it is. Then you write about Corona virus. It was not altogether coherent. I notice that you have not posted on the thread about Trump's handling of Corona virus to explain why he has being doing a good job. You not posting there is also interesting. Do you not post facts then? why do you post if there is no purpose to it? | |||

Like you, seeing a post on the topic of why people ignore the question and then...ignoring the question. The "critique" is just me writing my best guess and hoping that the poster may eventually respond directly. However, for this particular thread the determination to continue to avoid the topic and how they go about it does prove interesting. | |||

"“ You have failed to actually respond to the question asked, either deliberately or out of lack of understanding. Either option would say something about you. If it's merely a mistake or oversight it is easily corrected by addressing the substance of the thread directly” If I was genuinely interested in learning about people and their attitudes, I would have realised by now this style of reply isn’t conducive to a reasonable dialogue with any contributor. Good luck on your quest to get answers which meet your requirements. " Once again, posting to what end if you are not interested in the topic of the thread? Wanting to make a point about your personal opinion of me perhaps? | |||

"Why do people post on threads if they are not interested in the topic? Why do people post just to annoy others? Why does that give them a sense of satisfaction or pleasure?" To answer the first question; because they can. Some people just can't stop, or limit, themselves. To answer the second and third questions; because they're cunts. It's not all that complicated. | |||

I have assumed that in my attempt to reply , I have scored 0 out of ten . ( luckily we are in cyberworld and we should judge on real life achievements ) From reviewing your comments on various posters answers , it is apparent that none are of an acceptable standard to you . On this occasion would you be able to summarise maybe twenty key points in order that people reading the forum know what he correct answers are to your question . ? On you other comment I could not see any point on commenting on President Trumps handling of the Corona virus . We are facing a world wide crisis and it is not a topic on which anyone should attempt to score political points . We are in unchartered waters and no one knows what the correct response is . Only two things are certain . 1. People will die ( how many - no one knows ) 2. The damage to the economy is horrendous | |||

However you asked the question and from reviewing your responses to various posters it appears that the standard of their replies is not acceptable to you. Why not summarise about twenty key points which would answer your question. Other posters would then know why type of reply that was expected and why theirs failed to address your query . Knowing the answers we can then mark out own efforts. | |||
