[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3510142, member: 5800"] Be careful --- feelings and voicing opinions are what the left does and that doesn't go to well round these hurr parts. But seriously, in my opinion, in the world, no one, or a very very small percentage of people, really care. It's always about the money. I've got family that's all but abandoned me because I don't share the same political or religious beliefs as they do. I've worked places with some great people that abandoned me as soon as I left. There's a lot of good times to be had on OSA, whether trolling the dumbs that think I'm serious all the time or having actual discussions, but I'm also pretty aware there's probably not a single person on the board that would legitimately, truly miss me if I was to die today. For all the "family" talk, I've been told I should be buried in people's lakes, should go jump off a cliff, that the world won't miss me, etc etc on here plenty. Not a real family feeling. Not trying to debbie down the board or the folks here, but that's just the way it is IMHO. How we react to that varies. We could encourage people to come along for the giggles, we could add them to ignore lists, we could silently laugh and be happy that maybe we get the chance at the "deals". Whatever. If it ain't hurting anyone then let it go. I sure bet that most people have found this site by the classifieds. If anyone wants to move out from there they can, or if not then again, is it hurting anything? I joined back in the day when there was a min post count. That was back in the day when I didn't know near what I do now. If I remember right, even back then it was hard to join a discussion or ask questions because a lot of folks on here always know more, are always right and love to be snarky about it. I'd venture that it's worse now. Heck, I know it's worse now --- I play to that to get people going when I'm bored. Point being that getting in the initial posts was an exercise. But I'm like you --- on one hand I [I]kinda[/I] feel like there should be a minimum and I also [I]kinda[/I] feel like it should be open. [/QUOTE]
