: I don't quite know why, but I find myself disliking the main message board more & more. It actually upsets me sometimes, a bit!
: It starts to feel like all these people are talking just with their heads - their heart is missing. I have to say that if I was in a room with a load of fives, I would probably go insane very soon...I just can't stand the lack of warmth, or perhaps it's just my perception.
: Either way, some of the posts irritate me to no end. And yet, I don't have the right to criticize others. I only with the flavour of the board was more than just 'five' dominated!
: ;-)
You have no right to criticize them? Sure you do. Only they have a right to choose whether or not to listen to criticism, yours or anyone else's. And anyway, you just did criticize them!
Since I read no more than 15 percent of the messages on the main board (I could never be an archaeologist like thou, Amanda), I'm not quite clued in about its boorish atmosphere. I do get the general idea about the irritating messages, though, because (a) I catch a drift from some of the topics I scan past, and (b) I create many of aforementioned irritating messages myself. :>
