Why post on a thread of you do not wish to engage?

This is perplexing to me.

If I have no interest in a topic or do not have anything to contribute I do not post.

If I do post on a thread I will respond to the initial question before perhaps being distracted. I will admit to doing this back to front on occasion.

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?

I doubt I'll get any answers, bit I thought I'd ask

As I do not ever recollect you having added anything to a thread other than an insult, you haven't disappointed, but have explained why I find this behaviour so strange.

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.

Fair question. It has to do with behaviour in the Politics thread.

Thank you for your well thought out posts over the last half year or so. I've haven't always agreed with you but appreciate your ability to stick to the debate content rather than getting personal.

Some people have nothing to add so they just piss all over others ideas and opinions. It's really sad.

Don't let it bug you

Why is it so important where it is posted?

I think it is more relevant here than it is next to a snog/shag/avoid popularity contest where the fab elite masterbate each other's egos

Tangents are fine, but to do that you have to touch the the curve at some point.

I'm interested in if there is any reasoning or if it is some strange urge that needs fulfilling.

So far lots of "hilarious" comments but no ability to address a nice simple question whilst simultaneously explaining why I asked

You will notice if someone says something on here that gets a lot of s sooner or later someone will come along with some unkind words to tear a strip off?

You will notice the people who indulge in this behaviour never get a themselves. So they behave like the kid at the party who didn't get any cake. Human nature I guess.

. 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. )

Howvever why would anyone use a forum such as this for information or to learn anything. Is this forum not just for passing idle time and seeing people's opinions on an issue. If we wanted facts or to learn we would be posting on a different site.

Not everyone reads everything the same. That sounds daft, I know, but people seem to take issue with one word or add their own twist/own emotion on things.I

They respond because they can, some enjoy playing devils advocate, some just want to share their thoughts and some get very passionate. There are also just random gems that pop up too.

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.

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.

I'm trying!

It's equally interesting as to why people are so reluctant to answer. Hostile even.

Of course words and phrases can be interpreted differently. Again, it's interesting why that would be the case.

It doesn't actually answer the main point though. Why completely ignore the topic of a thread and write something anyway? Surely they opened the thread because they found the topic of interest

Reading people's ramblings on a forum can be quite entertaining for a few minutes. Just like Facebook, reading what some lesser endowed in common sense type can really make you think no matter what you face in life, things could always be far worse

Like when people jump in and say "if you dont like it, just ignore it and move along. No one cares what you think" followed by some uninformed opinion on your character and your sex life?

I personally think there are a few "forum celebrities" in here that post on everything imaginable because they want every discussion to be focused on their opinion so regardless of the original post, they make their presence known and their sycophants see they gave posted and jump in for support and to stay on their hot list ornfirmeds list or have a sniff of a chance at sending private messages back and forth.

It is a common theory held no only by myself.

As they will not or cannot respond directly I have to infer a reason from their action.

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 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.

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?

Wow. That's quite a step

Did I say that it bothered me? What indicated "outrage"? These are the words of red top newspaper headlines.

You are, of course, doing exactly the same thing as the previous poster.

It is obviously a "leading question". That is plain.

The intent of the discussion is about ignoring the topic of a thread and why people would do it.

Your first post was to belittle or offend me personally. You will no doubt quibble, but it's clear. That indicates something about your motivation.

Your second post once again ignores the question posed in the thread and once again seeks to denigrate me.

I guess that gives me one answer for what motivates some people. It doesn't really tell me why, but as you rarely seem able to accept the information or data that I present I can probably work that out too

"This is perplexing to me.

If I have no interest in a topic or do not have anything to contribute I do not post.

If I do post on a thread I will respond to the initial question before perhaps being distracted. I will admit to doing this back to front on occasion.

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?

I doubt I'll get any answers, bit I thought I'd ask

Thank you for your well thought out posts over the last half year or so. I've haven't always agreed with you but appreciate your ability to stick to the debate content rather than getting personal.

Some people have nothing to add so they just piss all over others ideas and opinions. It's really sad.

Don't let it bug you "

Spot on, it is always the same ‘characters’, they obviously have nothing better to do

"Why do people post on threads if they are not interested in the topic?

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.

Accusing someone of attention seeking, fabrication and behaving like a child isn't intended to be any way rude or insulting?

What a charmer you are

The clue about why I wrote a topic is in the original post and the title

I am perplexed. Not outraged or seeking attention.

I didn't say anything about a forum thread staying on track. What I asked was why someone would open a post with a particular title read it and then write something unrelated.

You seem unable to answer

You don't seem to see the irony of you ignoring the question in the post and giving me attention

I don't really have any idea what the rest of your post means. Daytime drinking maybe?

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. )

I have no idea why you wrote the first two paragraphs at all. Not really sure why you wrote any of it.

Grateful of a reply? 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? Howvever why would anyone use a forum such as this for information or to learn anything. Is this forum not just for passing idle time and seeing people's opinions on an issue. If we wanted facts or to learn we would be posting on a different site.

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?"

. Hi . Thank you for taking the time to reply - your efforts are much appreciated . 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 )

Hi. I am not too concern ed about scoring zero as it has no impact in real life. 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.

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. "

You seem to be rebooting

The one key point would be; read the question at the start of the thread and answer it.

Would you like to give that a go?

You must have been bored too, yet you managed to actually reply directly.

Must be something to do with your upbringing. Of course, you are also on a swingers site so go figure

What happens if you post in a thread about posting on threads that you don't wish to engage in, but without wishing to engage in the subject of posting but not engaging?

I don't like tangents. I prefer a nectarine or maybe even a satsuma.
