A question for lurkers
#24756710 - 11/03/17 11:07 AM (6 years, 4 months ago) |
|

There are people that lurk this sub, and rarely, if ever, post in it. I have a couple of questions for those lurkers.
Question 1: Why don't you post more?
Question 2: Of the regular posters in this sub, who's opinions do you trust most and least?

I lurk here sometimes. I don’t post much because it seems like this place is mostly just for debate, and I don’t feel like debating my opinions. I read in this forum to hear opinions of others on all parts of the political spectrum. I like the balance; there’s no high concentration of folks with one type of ideology.
I’m not sure whose opinions I “trust” the most; maybe enlil? As far as least trustworthy, it’s definitely akira_akuma.

Maybe they're just trying to form there own opinions? ...Or maybe they're pigs searching for the next new drug to blame.

It's the reason why I even post at all, for the lurkers who might not even be members of this site.

Not to flame or to suck up:
Ecstatic- his quips hold true although sometimes it is hard to tell if he is joking. Have had a couple of triggered conversations with him....he can hold is own
Ballsalsa- informed and never goes personal; I respect that. Can concisely lay out on argument without a wall of text.
Akira- I think I would agree with some of his positions however it's frustrating to read a meth-like haiku poem.
Enlil- keeps my posts on point due to his consistent ability to find flaws...although I may not agree with his positions; I do respect them.
Fal- backs up his stance with numerous links that he actually reads. I can tell he believes what he says.
Qman- most if guys views are not that popular and receives notice if this daily, his banter with Estatic can go on for pages. He keeps on coming back though.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

I rarely lurk this forum and when I do it's usually when a thread on the first page catches my eye. I was lurking just now because I hear Koods is on a gambling hot streak.
I cannot give a reasonable answer for OP's second question.

1. i know my limitations and as such know when not to post
2. most trustworthy: ballz; ecstatic; fal; enlil; tipote; diecommie; and that kiwi who was posting for a while but hasn't lately and i can't remember his name.
least trustworthy: stonebot by a mile; then recent akira just slightly behind; then many, many, many more miles to find most everyone else lumped together.

i defined it in the OP. folks who read the sub, but rarely, if ever, post in it.
you can decide for yourself if that applies to you.

I think the second question is absurd. It should be:

I wouldn't trust you any further than I could throw you; You like to argue too much. There's no telling what your real opinions are.
on an unrelated note, I was debating on which of two spots I was gonna put that semi-colon but I'm still not entirely sure if I used it right. Not sure if it would have been right in the other spot either. I wonder if I could have pulled off both? Like an inceptsemi-colon.

You used the semicolon correctly, but you don't capitalize the first word after one.

You can use two, but converting one to a coordinating conjunction flows better.

Technically, it's unlimited, but style guidelines dictate that you not take it too far. I've seen some crazy semicolon usage in briefs.

my circumlocution is mind-bending for everyone here, haha.
my forming my own opinions, informing my views, and deconstructing people's informal contradictions in language is "untrustworthy" LOL.
speech, the kind that is subconscious and is prevailing in stream-of-consciousness writing. also unpopular.; sad, because that's what allows destruktion.

I can trust Koods because he will still be Koods. He won't change.

also, you can trust him to talk shit about you behind your back to Burke and the likes of *shudder* Sheekle.
(actually this seems to be growing trend it seems- shady.)
