A question for long-time dis'ers

Hi Florida-again

I'm around your age and from the UK (and a uni student at that) and I see most of your posts floating by, probably because we are on the same time zone.

I don't think you should stop posting here, but I think the problem is that the largest (average) age group on this board is older than you (us) and therefore its not as easy to relate. However, I really can't see why people feel the need to post rude comments, just because they don't agree/relate.

Hey though, its a community and no community is perfect.....Perhaps your threads are not relevent to some people here, but why then does a thread with the title "Hi" or something (and no content) get 20 pages of replies?

EDIT - right.. so i read through your posts... and you are a bit dramatic. My advice for you? A message board is not a friend. And venting constantly about everything little thing that enters your head is gonna make people view you as pathetic. All of our lives are plagued with drama. But I dont post on the DIS, everytime i get a new stress. I call a friend. Have a good cry, talk to my mom.... etc... Seriously. You gotta find another outlet.

I think this is very true. I also went back through your posts, and over 3/4 of them (or more) are on threads started by YOU, talking about YOU and YOUR life, etc. Do you see a pattern here?

I mean this in a (mostly) kind way, but . . . people/posters will generally treat you a little better if you show some interest in THEM as well.
