The Plague
-
Generally, I don't visit as often as I used to. Yesterday was the first time in a week, and before that, two weeks went by. I'm pretty much fed up with the crap posts in the lounge ("Samantha"'s was the latest). I mean honestly, who here gives a rat's ass about reading about other people's problems (that aren't related to computers)? "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio.

The love problem posts of both girls and guys are drivel and show real shallowness of character. for example.. Members posting Code problems in the lounge. Members posting football score headers. Members posting plaguarized anecdotes and jokes. Anons posting code problems that a simple search at CP would solve. Anons acting upset when nobody answers there question in 5 minutes. Being emailed unsolicited code questions by anons and members.

I think some philisophical, cosmic, scientific, ethical, current affairs, original ideas and creativiity is OK as well to be blunt John. Sure maybe more topice to add, but this isn't the place to discuss romance or sexual disfunctions. Regardz Colin J Davies

Maybe you could tell us the simptoms. :) :) :) My guess is that CP has changed much in the last months... lots of people... lots of messages... lots of articles... Maybe they´re disliking the way things are heading (we´re reaching a point where people would start to post messages with just a (void*) inside just to increase their post count).

Actually in a few weeks I expect my workload to increase a lot and I don't know how often I'll be able to visit. Regardz Colin J Davies

I prefer to see myself as a realist, rather than a pessimist. :-D The only problem I have with the kind of posts that John refers to, is whether or not asking these kind of personal questions on a programming web-site is the best place. I'm sure there about better places on the web where people are more likely to be trained to deal with the problems.

In John's defense, it's getting old to see this. Until it's been established that your a bona fide chick, it's tough to tell if you're a wacko or not from our standpoint.

Never thought of that. I presume it's a strong possibility :-)

Well, if Samantha starts posting at a rate of 50+ posts / day, then at least we can be pretty sure of out little theory :-D

The fact that she spent an entire thread talking about how her boyfriend left her for another woman is a pretty good clue though. ;P You seem to have quite a hangup with men pretending to be women. Can't you just take a person's word for it? Have you had bad experiences with internet cross-dressers in the past? Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

Did you noticed that? The answer is NO, because guys with names that is obviously male were easily accepted here, while if the name sounds like a girl...gets insulted and teased by some of the guys here which is inapppropriate.. we doesn't deserved that kind of treatment.. Girls who want to be a part of CP gets intimidated by some of the guys here.. Well, I guess that's the reason why there's a small portion of female here in CP.. it's a really a male denomination site... I don't know why some of the guys here feel Superior about themselves... If somebody doesn't like the post, then just ignored it.. or make your own thread, respect others work.. Is it hard to do? Is it really a big deal if a "real" girl or guy or gay posts the message? NO, What matter is how he/she/it shared his/her/its point of view.. I can't see any restrictions or rules that shouldn't be a topic... As far as I know, explicit words, foul language, ranting and raving should be banned in CP... because we're all professionals here, we should speak in a professional manner...

Jeremy Falcon wrote: be all the chick you can be Is it really a big deal that a member should post a picture just to prove that she's a female? How come some of the guys posted a cartoon character as their pics? That's unfair.. :( :rose::rose::rose::rose::rose: Samantha
