Please read especially new people

I dont know if this is the proper place to post this and Im not sure if its been discussed but Ive noticed a whole lotta times where people are dissagreeing with other people on my and other peoples posts. If you dissagree with "Moe" about something then please dont post that on my post. "Put it on Moes" post. You are causing people to get low scores because you didnt agree with someone and I dont want people thinking I cant give good advice. Thank you.


Comments on this post
aqua@home : Excellent point!
CaptainForest : Good point. I didn?ÇÖt know people were doing this, but I agree. Disagree with the appropriate person.
Jesushelper76 : I was not aware of that happening a lot. Like you said it is more for newcomers to learn.

It is obvious that this thread has gone completely off track.

Let me add something, though, in regards to the irony that I find in this thread.

We started out talking about how a "disagree" comment was put in the wrong place and how this could be a frustrating thing for someone who wishes to have a good reputation.

Over the course of this thread, however, we began to insult other people who have posted here, and go completely off topic by talking about fry cooks and the weather. We have also given "agree" comments to ask questions about frying chicken on a sidewalk. This would do the opposite of what nymphetamine was concerned about. It might make one believe that they could give good advice when really the post had nothing to do with the topic.

That having been said, I will pretend that I am two different people coming to this site and reading this thread.

Person 1 : I am the "nutcase" who made the post on the president thread. I come to this thread and read it. I see that others are openly making fun of me on the forums. I now have a couple options after being hurt.

A) I could begin causing problems for the site by posting improper things that smaller, innocent children could read. We don't want to portray that image.

B) I could leave and never return to this site again and spread some negative word-of-mouth advertising about AMHD while I am at it.

C) I could do both.

Person 2 : I am a new person and since the subject encourages me to read it, I do. I find that I get very little help from the thread because the problem is never addressed and I see that people here are blasting others.

I probably will have a bad taste in my mouth about this site and just go elsewhere.

I know I am playing a bit of devils advocate here but these are very real issues if we are to keep this service a professional one.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to point fingers or slam anyone here, I think it is cool that we can interact as friends here and joke about things like hot sauce and chicken but we need to perhaps take a moment to consider the consequences of our thoughts before we type. All the things we type are for the world to see. We have an effect on all who read our words and a quick look will show that a lot of people have viewed this thread.

I do not post as often as some of you but I do read a lot. This thread had an effect on me as well. I felt I had to say something.

Perhaps this thread could be deleted altogether and we can address the issue of misplaced disagreements in a new one.

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?NEWSFLASH!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? !?!?!?

Look rudy, I don't know if you know this but what suject are you posting in right now...that's it come on...yeah the member discussions board.

If this thread wasn't in this particular subject then the topic of hotsauce and weather wouldn't come up. HOWEVER you are in the member discussions area, which are discussions, about anything, related to the members. I hate to sound harsh here but your killing the vibe man. Take a chill pill and calm out. Look all of us here mean no disrespect, you probably did have something important to say, but honestly all of us give all of our extra time and energy on the other subjects. I am confidant that we all give 100%. But this isn't one of those subjects, I like to think that we can have a place between us members that we can joke and horse around, because it isn't appropriate on other subjects, unless I missed the joke/horse around subject all together. But the last time I check it aint there, and all I am saying is that we do keep it serious on the other threads in the OTHER subjects, but here in the Member Discussions are we like to keep it lose. Cabo SAN WHIZZ if you will. A little margaritas, senoritas, a real good time you know. Here maybe this will explain it:

Person 1: Sweet I just helped out some people on the other threads, they will really enjoy my feedback and my lending a hand to their inquiry's/problems. I know would like to spend sometime "off" time with my fellow companions on this site. Where would I go? Ahh the member discussion area! Sweet.

Person 2: Dude I totally just told this dude about how to totally find the right chicka for him, and I clearly sorted his life issues out buddddy. Maaan, where shall I go for some fun and excitement? I know CABO SAN WHIZZ. There's magaritas, senoritas, and tortillas. Time to cruise in on some grindage.

My entire point, here is if we can't spread our satirical wings and fly up in to the sky ever now and again, why did god give us them? It's good to just joke around, and matter of fact I really didn't appreciate you saying that we ruined this thread. It's just a thread, if you want to start a new one, there's a new subject button if you back out of the page you are already reading and then you just type from there. I warn you though, Cabo San WHIZZ likes to travel.

Hi, Rudi glad you brought that up. If I may clarify.

He was the one insulting people and not discussing the issue so was reported as per the rules and was deleted. He then went back and posted another insult and they both are here for all to see. Yes he has options and what he chooses to do is up to him. And yes he is a nutcase, he proved it with his behavior.

As whizzkid points out this is the members discussion area and the problem was addressed and yeah we do let our hair down a bit from time to time and I think you would to as you get to know us better WE are not robots but people. A little humor is good I think. There, you have been officially invited to let your hair down with us.

I like the idea too. I will find out what options are available in the current software version we're using...and if it is, will put it up for an Admin/Mod discussion.

Well im guessing that would just get you banned from the site ! !

Make some time to join in and as others have said let your hair down.

I, for one, would like to aplogize for "hijacking" this thread. Yes it is in Member Discussions, but there really was a topic.

As far as agreeing or disagreeing, I only post my agree in the person's thread that I agree with. Rarely do I post a disagree. The only time I do that is when I can prove that the particular poster was incorrect, and I usually only do that in my medical boards where the info given could be dangerous to a reader.

Well, apologies aside. I have started The Lounge thread in Member Discussions so we can discuss there and give this thread back to the original topic.

I think people are still missing what the thread was about.

1. YES you can DISAGREE...no one is arguing that. Feel free, if you find something I say to be wrong (factually) please disagree and correct me.

2. Just do it on THE CORRECT post that you disagree with.

3. If you have a different opinion then that alone is not a reason to disagree. That is why you are allowed to post your own answer.

I hope you don't mind me summarizing for you Nymphetamine?

J_9 : I disag.. oops, I mean I totally agree with you Aqua. Too many post their disagrees to disagree with an agree. Does that make any sense? LOL
Jay_Jay : you hit the nail on the head
