Okay Ernie, AndrewS, Carl, Anerlich… What would you guys like to discuss on a new thread? 😕 What haven’t we covered before? Or what was discussed before but should be revisited? Since we already know what should be avoided… 🆒 ---

Kind of a shame. > > Andrew Bit slow aren’t you!? 😛😃 But more on thread… that’s why I only like technical or training discussions. Everything else is accusations and presumption. Even with the technical stuff, on the main board I’ve read a couple of different ‘I do it this way - how do you do it?’ threads which would just dissolve into a lineage argument over here… Doesnt help that WCers are some the most humourless, pompous, up-emselves \*\*\*tards on the planet! 😃 … Enema anyone!? ---

> [@AndrewS](#): > > Yeah, it’s pretty much reached the point around here where posting has become pointless (for me at least). Kind of a shame. > > Andrew Yep! Even when one tries to start a more “technical” thread to get away from the typical posts you see here…it quickly gets labeled “theoretical” (used as a slur) or gets shot down from an avenue one doesn’t expect. It seems we have a few “regulars” each with some kind of “agenda” that gets pushed over and over. People get tired of it. Forum members go away for awhile and then come back to see the same old things being discussed. So they figure “what’s the point?” and stop coming. When someone does make an effort to discuss or show something new, rather than receiving encouragement and constructive comments it is more likely that they come under attack and heavy criticism. That sure doesn’t encourage people to go out on a limb and post their ideas or put up videos. Keith ---

☹☹ Those are the reasons my post numbers are so small. I read a thread and see it devolve into a yelling match or worse so I just stay out of it since I really don’t know the folks here. By the time I read a thread the damage is usually done so I just move onto the next thread and generally find the same thing. So, no ideas from the people that have posted here for a long time? I remember a thread that said there are 5000+ members and less than 100 posting. But that seems to be the case on many sites. A handful that post and a herd that reads. Take a look at all the folks, that come to read and never post. 😉 ---

Same here…I’ve engaged in some of the threads wherein these “ideals” are being pushed, as some of them are my own, however doing it over and over and over…and over…even makes me weary. I miss the good ol’ pre crash days. ---

Maybe they should just start a forum for the various contingents – a WCK role-playing forum, a WCK for health forum, a WCK for social interation forum, a WCK for spiritual development forum, etc. 😉 ---

Dang, way to give others far too much power and control over you. Don’t like one thread, start another. Don’t like one poster, ignore him/her and dicuss with others. Watch and complain, or do something about it. Jeez.
