Positive Threads or Negative Threads... ????
I've got a little rant here (Oh no! not another rant!)..
.
Actually, this is NOT a rant.. I only said it was to get your attention! 
.
I'm not even close to being THE most active surfer and poster here but I've developed the opinion that posts that slam somebody, something, some store , some idea... get a LOT of attention. Whereas a positive post, even with a gorgeous photo or real info, gets much less.
.
Do you agree or disagree? Either way.. details please!

Yeah i agree but that's because we're all human and we all love to argue lol and people get heated fairly easily so are more likely to respond even if negatively than say 'ohh nice snake' i guess, not perhaps the most positive thing but the most likely but i think it's evened out with only a small % of posts being negative.

Hmm...good point Gus..I agree with you.
I am personally trying to figure out why I tend to respond at all to posts like that. I think maybe because it is in my nature to attempt to neutralize and state the other side of things in some cases. In some cases I believe it is because people LIKE to get all fired up over something...Love to see a drama unfold. Like the RTB Jerry Springer version LOL
I always try to post equally, and if I feel like I am starting to beat a dead horse, I usually will try to discontinue my responses.
And of course YOUR picture posts I always check FIRST  Cant wait to check THOSE beauties out! |

Well, you're right about that. I haven't been in there in a while but last time in I was left wondering this.. If the people involved would just communicate with each other instead of airing the deal to the public couldn't most of them work it out?
.
Thanks for your input.
