This is a thread for those whom wish to express their opinion on another thread, but are somewhat intimidated by the length of the thread and are unwilling to read all 200+ posts in order to be able to intelligently express their opinion.
It is, of course, a common problem. In virtually every thread of any length some poster will come along and say I have not read the posts, however, and then proceed to express an opinion that not only has nothing to do with the original point of the thread, but bears little relevance to the myriad sub-points that have been raised. This, of course, raises the ire of the previous posters and results in another 100 threads lambasting the poster whom only desired to express an opinion, regardless of the subject matter.
Hence, this thread.
You may do the following in this thread:
One, ask What is the real, real issue in the thread (for example) entitled I have asked in the past, I will ask again?
I, or someone with knowledge (probably not me since I never read the threads) will come in and answer The original purpose of the thread was to vent about unwelcome tags. It has evolved into a discussion of whether children read these postings, what the purpose of life is, and if the Disney moderators truly live among us.
You may then safely go to said thread and, without having to expose that you have not read one single posting in the thread, safely express your opinion, to the admiration of all.
Or, two, you may simply express your opinion in this thread, being careful to cite the thread you wish you could post in.
For instance, there is a lengthy thread entitled A lady was mean to my 4 year old today. You may post your opinion in this thread concerning whatever you think may be the issue in the lady thread. You will not be flamed. Indeed, the more irrelevant your opinion is to the thread in question, the more it is welcomed in this thread. This, my fellow posters, is your safe harbor.
Therefore, in our second example, you would simply write:
Re: A lady was mean to my 4 year old today. I agree. Being mean is mean. Being old is also bad. I like McDonald French Fries. I was once four years old.
See? You were able to vent your opinion in this thread concerning another thread without fear of repercussion.
So be not afraid! There are some threads that have reached amazing numbers of postings and which, to fully read and comprehended, would require you to spend the remainder of your life reading just to reach the latest post. However, there are always those whom have kept up with those threads from the beginning (most are soap opera fans, I believe, and can also give you each and every plotline of General Hospital since 1963) and they will shed light where all is darkness.
Enjoy and relax.
