Yeah, but BM. I think the threads of "Dinner was great last night "insert name here" I have to talk to you, call me later" need to be stopped. It's almost like they are like "Look at us! We are friends! Look Look! Please!"
Attention whoring at it's finest. Don't get me wrong, I love these certain people who I'm refering to, but theses threads are uber geigh. I know it's a chat board, but it's supposed to be topics everyone can chime in on. These topics have absolutely NOTHING to do with 99% of anyone here. If someone doesn't agree that these certain type of threads need to be done via PM is just not thinking to clearly.
Feel you darlin... but IMHO threads like this are few and harm no one. They dont clutter the boards. Maybe I am wrong but it seems a matter of taste. You find these threads to be tedious and annoying. I understand 100%.
I find ALL political threads to be even more tedious and annoying, always have from day one. Shit, I believe they should be remanded to their own board not because these topics have ANY merit or bearing on life but because I dont care to have to bother to scroll past them. But I also realize that I have the right to just not click on the thread (as I have exercised from day one) or if I feel that the whole board is so littered that it isnt even worth it for me to frequent elite C&C I will just stop coming. There have been months where I did just that because frankly, the board got so tedious and boring, never once did I post some geigh "I am leaving elite because.... blah, blah, blah" or whathaveyou. I simply stopped logging on.
I am not being harsh to you personally, just letting you know that there are GOBS of threads that I find personally annoying. I sit here and say to myself, "Give me a FUCKIN break already!", roll my eyes up into my head and then just leave without feeling the need to post up a word.
Elite C&C was once an amazingly lighthearted "place" where one could come and kill sometime with shits and giggles, witty banter and on occasion be informed about events other than fitness/comp/diet/etc, exchange ideas, engage in brash, heated but civilized debates and also glean and lend support. This added to our humanity. It did NOT degrade it.
THOSE DAYS ARE LONG OVER.
So finally, I will just say to you, if you dont like it then just dont log on as I and many others have done so. No need to bitch about it as that wont do any good anyways and actually gives the appearance of being petty and negative. <---- and you just dont strike me as that type.
